Nothing better...

...than curling up with some hot coco and watching a scary ghost show. There's a new one called "The Haunted" on Animal Planet that's really spooky. Hopefully I can finally make it though an episode this time.

It's been fun making the kids Halloween costumes this year, pictures to come :) But for your trick-or-treating pleasure, some oldies and goodies.

My two favorite boys at the pumpkin patch

Mummy and his Mummy

Well I think it's safe to say she wont be a jester this year judging by the look on her face 

I'm such a proud mama. Now what's everyone doing for Halloween??

Oh, and have some fun! Scare you ears right off with these!

New Items :)

Wow, it's crazy how life can get busy with an 11 month old and a 7 year old, especially now that I have to chase after both of them. I foresee some fun and exciting (and tiring) times ahead. But somehow I've been able to do a little creating.

A little Faith

 And a little Hope

 to get me though my days :)

Finally the days are getting slightly cooler, I just hope it stays this way. I absolutely love making seasonal items, definitely looking forward to Christmas!

Great for the holiday season, as well as year round.

Pumpkin earrings for the fall.

I also had the opportunity to make a custom order right in time for John Lennon's birthday. I love my customers creative ideas, I never would have thought of this!

All you need is love.

That's all for tonight, now time to cuddle up (well, not really it's still about 85 degrees here) and relax for the night.

Hoarders!

I have been watching this show called Hoarders, and I have to say it sometimes makes my skin crawl to watch! There was one episode where the kids literally had to climb over a 6 foot mountain of stuff to get from one room to the next. I have been running around throwing stuff away because of the affect the show has had on me. My dad is somewhat of a hoarder, and it makes me nervous to go over to his house (sorry, daddy...love you!) Have you guys ever seen this show? Do you know anyone that hoards stuff? I would love to hear the stories....




Here's a collection of random reds...one of my favorite colors!

Labor Day Weekend

I thought that I should post something, especially since it has been awhile! Me, busy?! No way....my children are totally self sufficient and can take care of themselves. Our nine month old is out right now looking for a job!
Okay, so yeah, I have been busy, and too top it off, I have been a little under the weather this weekend. No sadness, though, because the Fall season is almost here! And you know what that means...yes, cooler weather! You have to understand, I live in the desert and it has been a whopping 118 these past few days. You heard me right! Way tooooo HOT : ( The late Fall and Winter is amazing here, so I am excited for the change.
Exciting news for the Woods' this weekend. Our baby girl started walking...she looks a little drunk while doing it, but it's still walking ;) ha ha! Pictures will be posted soon!

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day Weekend!

Three cups of coffee kind of day!

Yes, it has been one of those days. The kind where you just want to lounge around in bed all day....and the only one I can blame is myself......well, that, and cable television!

See, recently, we have jumped into the 21st century and upgraded our cable. We have been living on the basic local channels for a few years now....but we were approached at a weak moment and sold on the DVR features...that and the gazillion channels we probably don't need!

What does this have to do with three cups of coffee, you ask? Well, I have been up WAY too late watching really bad movies (aren't those the only kind of movies on at this time of night?!), and now I feel a little zombie like (ah, just like the movies I love!). Needless to say, I have been feeling a little bit (or a lot a bit) like sludge during the day.....but hey, the kids are cleaned and fed, I am clean and fed (ha!), and I have made a few more pieces of jewelry...not too bad. Because school starts next week, I am going to quit burning the midnight oil (okay, after tonight, I will quit burning the midnight oil! ;)

Here are a few of my newest creations! :)

Romantic pumpkin necklace.....I can't wait for the fall and the upcoming Holidays!

Meet the Family!

I thought I would introduce you to the other job I have other than Jewelry Maker Extraordinaire (ha ha!). It's called "Mom!" This is my most important job, and I am so grateful that I can create jewelry from my home and be with my little ones too.....even if my nine month old is always trying to steal my "bling" from me. I swear, she has jewelry radar :)

My baby girl, Samantha, on her Birthday! I can't believe she is now nine months old!

Getting older :) She's my cute little bunny!

Now off to have fun with the kiddies, and maybe, just maybe, find time to create some jewelry! :)
