My sis, the model

I talked my only wonderful little sister into modeling some pieces for me. It's really for me to gain ideas abt styling my jewelry for my sites and to understand what goes into it. Let's just say I have a lot to learn but I'll get there. Especially when I have such a great model!

Isn't she cute?


The funny thing is that she doesn't even wear earrings in real life. *shrugs* go figure.







Oh! And she did this!
My little honey

Something new

I made these for my supervisor. I may have slightly bullied her into them though....unintentionally.

She was wearing a very rock and roll inspired outfit so of course I said I have the perfect earrings for that! (because I do) and she was interested and ordered right away. So maybe not so much bullying as suggesting and in my defense, I was not trying to make a sale, that was a bonus.

So anyway I created this variation of my rock and rolls for her. These are the tiniest hoops I've made so far but they are still adorable. The black and white bead sells it for me.


2/11

As of february 11th, I am one whole year older. And though I thank GOD for his many blessings and allowing me to see another year, it was/is a little hard and all too real being IN my 30's. (And we won't even talk about the death of my first idol on that same day)

So I had a simple dinner with a few friends and family and had a great time!

I, of course, made some earrings for the occasion.

Good times!

I'm on a boat!

Hubs and I took our first cruise together to Cozumel and saying that we had fun is an understatement! Cruising (imo) is the ultimate way to relax on vacay. I can't wait to go again to different destinations. We still don't know what took us so long to do it!.

The only downfall...
It took me 3 days after we disembarked to recover and feel like I was on land again even though I was completely fine on the ship. Next time I will not take off my motion sickness patch as soon as I get off. Lesson learned!!

Still not sure who this guy was but he was happy to share in our pic.


Isn't he handsome?




I was set up in that first pic ;-)
