March EBW Challenge

The voting for the Temptation challenge started today! As always, I am blown away by the talent in this group. There are so many gorgeous entries. You can vote on the blog from March 9-15. http://etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com My Chocolate Temptation cuff is number 18. Thank you so much for your support!

random freebie

I am going to be a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding in May. I just got my dress in the mail this past week, which was very cool. (I will have to post pictures of it at some point. If nothing else, I will post some of the wedding.) To my surprise, I received a free ring with the dress.


I apologize for the blurriness! From the best I can tell from a free online ring chart, it's a size 6.5. I have small hands and so this ring is too big for me. I am looking for a new home for it! If you're interested, please let me know. It is absolutely free, no strings attached. :)

new listing and an exchange offer

I listed a new piece today:


I have a couple other finished pieces that I'll be listing over the next few days, including a new blue button charm bracelet. I finished my Awesome Chicks of Etsy Spring Challenge piece as well. I fully intended to list it my shop when I started it, but I'm seriously thinking about keeping it now. I have an idea for something similar that I can make and list in my shop the future. The deadline for the challenge is the first day of spring. I will post pictures of the item and more about the challenge then.

Would any fellow button jewelry makers/button crafters of any sort be interested in doing a button exchange? It would be very simple: We would each send each other a bag of buttons from our own stashes so that we got new buttons to work with for our creations. If anyone is interested, please leave me a comment here or convo me on Etsy!

Chocolate Temptation

I finished my temptation cuff tonight! The challenge deadline is drawing close (March 5) so I went ahead and photographed and listed it right away. Here it is:


This is by far the most ambitious bead weaving creation that I have attempted thus far far, and I am really really pleased with the result. It was a lot more work than I realized it would be haha, but it was well worth it.

Stay tuned next week for details about voting!
