Here Comes Fall!

I can't decide whether it's Fall or not. The last couple days were pretty chilly - had to break out my jacket collection... But today - it's already 80 degrees outside. I'm ready for pumpkins, pretty leaves, hay rides and trips to Brown County. I haven't posted in a while. I've been crazy busy researching new techniques and supplies. I'm really branching out. I'm working with a lot of sterling silver and sterling plated items right now. Swarovski crystals, pewter charms, glass pendants - you name it - I'm trying it. I've recently bought a few collage sheets from piddix on etsy - and she is amazing! I love the collage sheets - and I'm currently working on butterfly and postcard scrabble tile pendants and modern black and white birds in bottlecap settings. I've already started a line of antler scrabble tile necklaces - and I think they're great. http://tinyurl.com/mylm9x <--Check it out!

The next two days I'll be attending a fused glass workshop and a tree of life workshop. Hopefully I can incorporate these into my line as well.

And as always - I'm always having secret sales through my facebook fan page --> http://tinyurl.com/nsexoz and through my twitter --> http://twitter.com/seizethenight

First 3 people to become a follower of my blog will receive a free butterfly scrabble tile necklace!

Have a great day!

Cincinnati Trip

So... my friend Nate asked me to go to Cincinnati with him to a college friends party and an IKEA shoppping experience the next day... and how could I say no really... so more procrastination on my part. It was interested - I was able to see his old college campus - Cincinnati Christian - and an awesome view of the city. The keg was done early in the night and I decided I was done drinking after eating bbq and watching the red wings lose. We hung out outside which was nice. Then... (que the scary music) I wanted to go to sleep. I feel like an old person because people were still up playing beer pong and I was really sleepy. So I stared wondering where I was going to sleep - because this house was a typical college fratty boy house. I ended up in a room right off of the bathroom, on a mattress thrown on the floor, next to an old filing cabinet and a trash can. Thank God I bought my pillow, because all I had to cover up with was my jacket and nates towel he had brought for the morning shower. It was fun to get away for a while - and Nate's hilarious so it was a good time. And I'm now in love with IKEA and just finished putting together my new clothing rack a little bit ago. I worked on a few new hand stamped designs tonight, drilled holes in my new poker chips for key chains, and went through some Dave Matthews, Sister Hazel, 311, etc. lyrics for new hand stamped metal pendants and bracelets and possibly some leather designs. I can't wait to take pictures and post them. I'll also be posting pictures from my little trip on facebook and flickr soon. :) I'm also planning on visiting the talbot street art fair tomorrow. But - it's almost 3 a.m. .... so I should probably try to get some sleep.

Your Daily Bitch for today: Everyone has the right to be stupid. Don't abuse it.

Here I Am

I've been fighting this whole blog idea for a long time now - and I've finally caved. I've found that a lot of etsy sellers write blogs - and I've always enjoyed reading them, so hopefully someone will enjoy reading mine. I plan on writing about my new product ideas for my etsy shop, how my new jewelry designs are doing, and my basic bitches about unemployed life. I also think it might help that I have an outlet for all of my thoughts and what nots - so as not to overload my boyfriend-ish guy every day. :)
