A Lot of Work Comes in 1 Little Box

Ooofda, a lot of work can come in one little box! Today's "gotta-get-it-done" is to create/attach a sterling earwire for each one of these little lovelies. I've gotten all my NEW necklaces listed at my website, these are next line for photos & write-up's ... scads of beautiful little gems & pearlies! Most all of them have a necklace that they match too. :)
The next newbies earrings coming up will be more gem brios & longer styles. Soooo many beads ... soooo little time. Sound familiar?

What am I up to....BEADING! What else?

I've been selling supplies like crazy! Everybody must be beading!! I know I am ... I've been making & taking time to hit the worktable all this last month. I've got a bunch of photos of new things posted on my website, but I have to get their descrip's finished -- I simply run out of brain power for creative writing at the end of the day. Ooey.

Boy, have I been a busy lil' beader, let me tell you!! While cleaning out my bead bins & storage boxes to list bead supplies for the Valentine's Day sale, I re-discovered a bunch of tidbits I had totally forgotten about ... "out of site, out of mind" really fits here! Re-finding those gorgeous goodies really gave me a boost and jump-start I needed. Yay!!

Ok, enough chitchat ... gotta' get back to the worktable! Today's project is to complete all the earrings that will match the necklaces above. Hope you're having a productive day! I am!! :D

Yes, I do the all beading myself....

People always ask me with skepticism in their voice "do you really make all your items?" ... I politely reply "Yes, I do, thank you for asking." ... "You're kidding, right?" ... "Nope. I buy all the supplies and assemble them all myself. It's my passion!" :D

Then they will say "so you make up your prices?" ... and again I reply w/a smile "well, someone has too -- as they don't come all put together or tagged ... I really do all the beading. Honest!" I sold so many of my NEW pieces while in CA (very similar to the ones above), that I didn't even have a chance to take pics! Drats!! I guess I better make more....LOL

Here are two trays piled high with gorgeeeeous projects that I piled up yesterday. *I'm soooo into gems matched with freshwater pearls at the moment, can you tell?* I couldn't stop myself and didn't get to bed until way past 12midnight! *yawn* This weekend I'll be ... can you guess? BEADING!! I can't wait to dive in and get started!
