Busy, Busy

While my main function this week has been getting ready for back-to-School, I have been able to create some beaded creations late at night when the house is quite. I am getting ready for some craft shows and home parties and have been doing my best to get everything up on my website at http://www.beadedjewelrybyjane.etsy.com/. We have been busy getting all the back to school items bought along with new shoes, clothes and of course the must needed hair trim. Can't wait until Wednesday when school officially starts and the fall schedule clicks in. In the meantime, here is my latest creation of Handcarved Rose Quartz, mother of pearl, freshwater pearl, swarovski crystals, ruby and garnet. More pictures are on my website. Have a great Sunday!!

Back From the Outer Banks

Well, I'm back from the Outer Banks all tan and relaxed. I have been working my little fingers to the bone and have created three new pieces for my Etsy Website. There is a beautiful necklace, a sweet little bracelet and matching flower earrings. Check them out at my website at http://www.beadedjewelrybyjane.etsy.com/ along with 80 other pieces. I am busy getting ready for the Holiday season and producing as fast as I can. Keep checking back for previews! Thanks, Jane

Little Yellow Bicycle "Vita Bella" has Arrived!!

Today we got in "Vita Bella" which is Little Yellow Bicycles newest release. This is only sold to Independent Stores, so you won't find it anywhere else!! This is a beautiful collection in soft greens, teals, blues and browns and has a Family/Love Theme. Their are 15 papers to choose from and beautiful embellishments including ribbon, Cardstock Sticker Die-Cuts, Cardstock Sticker Verse Die Cuts, Chipboard Adhesive Embellishments, Metallic Rub-Ons, Fabric Tags, Metal Filigree Brads and Epoxy Words. I can't wait to start playing with this line. Remember, that this line cannot be re-ordered from the manufacturer, so come in soon for the best selection. Jane

Saturday Night in the City!!

Well, we are just winding down and packing from a long day of cropping here in the store. We had a full house with lots of great things being made. I actually completed a book for a client with all party invitations in it. She is a party planner, so there were some really great invitations. Makes me want to have a party!! My goal for the day was finishing that book, so I feel really good about crossing that off the list.

Then I actually posted three more pieces of my jewelry on my new website http://www.beadedjewelrybyjane.etsy.com/. Pictures are below or check out the site for 70 pieces!! I have been working my fingers to the bone!!

Here are two of the pieces, but the third keeps turning sideways!! Sorry, but it's been a long day. Have a great weekend. Jane

Thank God its Friday!!

I'm exhausted this week. My daughter has had to be up and out of the house by 6:30am 3 days this week and it is really wearing on me!! Next week will be the same, but then its off for vacation. I will definately need some R and R by then!

I had a great class last night and have 3 kits available for purchase. Yes, I said Kits!!

I worked a little bit on my jewelry website today and added two great pieces. Check out everything at http://www.beadedjewelrybyjane.etsy.com/. Here are the two pieces added today

We have a crop at the Store tomorrow from 10am-11pm, so the store will be open. Hope to see some of you then!!

Have a great weekend!! Jane

New Website

I know, I haven't blogged lately. I can list a whole bunch of excuses, but I'm sure that you have heard them all once before. Anyway, one of my excuses is that I was in "The King and I" with my daughter and it sucked all extra time right out from under my feet! Now that it is over, I have some extra time on my hands and I have been typing away organizing my new website at http://www.beadedjewelrybyjane.etsy.com/. I have started to sell my jewelry on-line and have about half of it all pictured and listed on my new site. I am so excited about the new venture and look forward to creating more beautiful things. In the meantime, I have started to book Home Jewelry Parties in the North Jersey area and have a couple of Craft Shows for the Fall lined up. Hopefully I will be able to handle all the extra hours. Anyway, below is one of my newest pieces, but you can check out 65 other things on my new site. Thanks for looking and hopefully I will be back posting soon!! Jane
