back in stock continues

Happy Groundhog Day!  And happy snow day to those of you in the midwest or northeast who have today off work.  I'm not posting any snow pictures because I think a lot of us have already seen plenty of snow this winter.  But I am still unrolling new versions of older designs that I made over Christmas break.  I'm getting to the end of my stack.

Here's the new Button Charm Bracelet - Tortoiseshell Cat.

And here's the newest Beaded Bracelet - Skinny Square Stitch - Raspberry.  On the whole, the skinny square stitch bracelets have not done especially well.  I'm not planning on making a lot more of these this year.  The raspberry one continues to sell, though, so I'll keep making it as long as it keeps selling.

These skinny bracelets are also hard to photograph at flattering angles.  At least the color balance on this latest set is pretty good.  If anyone has any idea for better angles/poses, let me know.

triangles and a reworked design

I sold a pair of peyote triangle earrings on Etsy tonight!  Since they've continued to be so popular, I went ahead and relisted two of my designs.

I am so happy that these continue to be so popular.  The only problem is that the current designs have done so well that I haven't branched out very much.  I will in time, though!

I also revisited a different old design this week and updated the listing tonight.  My skinny raspberry square stitch bracelet is now back in stock.  It's 15% off this month for the Christmas in July sale.

There's nothing like an order to renew your spirits.  My weekend starts tomorrow, and I'm heading into it feeling great!

back in stock

Am I ever going to feel like I'm on top of all of my inventory again?!  Probably at some point, but not any time soon.  Among other listing updates today (of which there were a fair number), I updated a couple listings for pieces that I've remade since the Iowa Arts Festival.

I think that I mentioned this before, but because the ribbons were so popular at the Arts Festival, all of my pendant listings now include a 16" or 18" grosgrain ribbon.  If you would like a different color or length of ribbon, please let me know.

One of my items that is back in stock now is my spring green peyote triangle pendant.

I also remade my skinny rainbow stripes square stitch bracelet.  It's considerably shorter than the original version whose length kept a handful of people from purchasing it in the past.  This bracelet coordinates with this triangle pendant that I also recently remade.  I made matching earrings that I will list at some point in the near future.

I listed a new item yesterday.

This is the one I mentioned a little while back that I made with the same beads as this triangle pendant. :)

Yesterday was my 26th birthday. :) I went out for Japanese food for dinner and then saw I Love You Man with my husband. The movie was VERY funny. I highly recommend it. I got a check from my dad's mom in the mail yesterday, all of which will be going toward more beads, including the beads for the skinny cuff that I'm going to make for my cousin's wedding.

Here is the new square stitch bracelet that I completed with my newly reclaimed diamond beads. I just listed it this afternoon.


I completed a couple new pieces this week. I still need to photograph them. I am also planning to rework my A.C.E. spring challenge piece, as it is not holding together as nicely as I'd hoped. My students were picking up leaf beads yesterday haha. Now that I know that I am keeping it and not selling it as originally planned I can make it to fit me more snugly so hopefully the reworking will be more than worth it in the end.
