New Pieces and Updates

So much has happened in the past year, I'm not sure where to begin. I got a car that I share with my sister (who works at the same place I do, so it works). I became the assistant manager of the clinic I work at! I lost my cat, and my dog will be going in for euthanasia tomorrow. This year has had highs and lows, obviously.

 Anywho, your probably here for shiny things. I only have pictures of two of the pieces I've made recently. I made these necklaces for coworkers of mine. This first one is a brass pendant that says RESIST, along with some wooden and glass beads. 


This other necklace is the first one I've done with a front clasp, and I'm super happy with it. The pendant was actually mistakenly delivered, but my coworker loved the colors. I used stone beads, pearls, and some light blue glass bi-cones for spacers. 

 So that's it for now. I really want to try and get back into writing regularly. Both this blog and my personal writing projects have been neglected of late. Eventually I would love to get a laptop, so I can work on writing wherever I am, and turn my desk into a craft space.

101 Goal in 1001 Days: Halfway Check-In
So this go around I have been keeping way better track of my goal list.  Having a bullet journal has been super helpful in this endeavor, which is in and of itself a goal.  Anywho, I wanted to check in halfway so I could further chart my progress.  Maybe next time I'll do monthly or quarter check -ins.  I dunno.  ON TO THE LIST!


This puts me at 29/101 completed.  I'm actually pleased with my progress.  Many of the ones I've not completed are in the works.  My end date is April 29, 2019, so I have plenty of time.  A few of these are going to happen anyway, so wish me luck!

Photo-A-Day Challenge: Part 1
As a part of my 101 goals in 1001 days, I have a goal to complete a photo challenge.  After many false starts, I am happy to say I am half way done with one!  My sister is doing it with me, so I'm sure that is helping.  

The challenge is the Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day Challenge.  She comes out with a monthly list of prompts to use.  So here is November's.


We're half way done.  So here are my photos so far.

I'm better at collaging in person -_-

Bead Peeps Swap n' Hop 2017

 Today is the day! The blog hop and reveal party! Just reposting the beads I sent (to the left) and what I received (on the right) before we get started.  My partner this year is Lori Schneider.  She sent me some great stuff, so let's go! 

With some of the turquoise-esque glass I made a bracelet with glass beads and copper.
 With the silver glass drops I made a pair of dangle earrings.  I intend on making a matching necklace, but I need to go chain shopping first.  Everything I have is either too large or too delicate.

I love theses earrings! I paired brass flower stampings with the enamel butterflies.  

Now on to the necklace. I seemed to be stuck on the blue/copper color scheme, so I went with it.  I used the blue/green glass beads along with one of the double sided focals and some glass beads from my own stash for this one.  I am really pleased with how it turned out.
I hope you all enjoyed my contribution to the blog hop.  Now go look at everyone else's!

Bead Peeps Swap n' Hop Bead Reveal
So it's that time of year again!  I had so much fun with this group's bead swap last year that I decided to participate again.  This year my swap partner is Lori Schneider.  This is what I sent her. Don't worry, I know she's received it!
 The ceramic pendant is from Etsy's muddyfingers.  The bicones, triangles, daggers, and rondelles are all Czech glass.  There's also carved wooden beads, carnelian rounds, chain, and a toggle clasp.  I can't wait to see what she makes.
This is what I received. So much cool stuff!  The next time you see these beads, they will be a part of beautiful jewelry pieces.   Stay tuned!
