treasury feature, quick update

Patch (patchfirstshop) included my Beadwoven Earrings - Peyote Triangles - Cream, Caramel, and Chocolate Layers in her EtsyBloggers Team: Autumn Celebrations treasury. :) Thanks Patch!

I finished my custom pearl bracelet tonight.  It feels so good to have that finished.  It was a lot of work, but I'm really pleased with the result.  I'm planning to take pictures of it tomorrow.  I'm still waiting for the wire that I need for the coordinating earrings so I'm going to work on a couple of my own projects again until it arrives.

February Top Droppers

I had conferences at school this week and then I was in Chicago for a few days, visiting some of my family, hence the lack of posting this past week. I'm still working on my temptation piece. I'm going to make a piece for the Awesome Chicks of Etsy Spring Challenge after that, and then it will be back to my more random regular scheduled projects (I think anyway...).

Thank you so much to all of my regular Entrecard droppers! The top list has fluctuated a lot this month, but here are the current Top 10 Droppers:
1) A Rose By Name
2) Three Fates Design - Beaded Jewelry
3) Basketball Daily
4) Alteredevents
5) Beaded Tail
6) Time2cre8
7) West of Mars - the Meet and Greet
8) Zero
9) Health.duniasoer.com
10) angelrhona

thank yous

Thank you very much to Alterity Art and SandFibers for featuring me on their blogs in response to my spring bracelets treasury. I do my best to thank those who feature me in their treasuries and appreciate it greatly when others do the same!

Also, I owe a thank you to ripperarts who made me a new banner totally out of the kindness of her heart. She's a fellow Awesome Chicks of Etsy member who decided that I could benefit from one of her awesome banners and made NINE of them for me to choose from! It was really tough picking just one, as they are all really great. I settled on the one that I did because it shows off several different types of bracelets that I make. I also like the multicolored letters. :) The banner is now here on blogspot as well. I decided to change the journal layout, too, to coordinate with it a little better. Taliana's currently working on an avatar to match. Very exciting!

I am in the middle of my tempatation bracelet now and am very pleased with the results this far. Are any other EBW's working on temptation pieces yet?

the blue button charm bracelet is back!

Two out of my five sales/trades on Etsy have been blue button charm bracelets. I also made one for someone as a gift that was very well received. I felt that I really had to make another one to list. Here it is:


In other Etsy related news, I joined the Awesome Chicks of Etsy group this week. I'm very excited to be there!
