Things could also be worse


Hi,


Received a call yesterday around 6:30 pm from the Summit County Sherriff's department. Guess what? Rachael was in a car accident. It was a minor, rear end accident with no injuries but she has no collision coverage and you know what happens to premium when you report an at fault accident? Oh well, at least she was not injured and hopefully she learned a lesson. She will have to go to court as in the state of OH a minor must go to court if involved in an accident or receives a citation.


I was very happy this week when a customer wanted me to create a pendant and left it up to me to design it. The only characteristic she wanted was that it was to be a longer pendant. She was so happy the way it turned out. What a great feeling it was to see how happy she was with her new piece. I have attached a picture of it. I am, of course, naming it after the customer and friend - DARCY!
Weather is a bit dreary today which is good because then I do not feel guilty working in my studio and staying inside to clean.
Well hope you all have a great weekend. Until next time...

Ring rings and more rings







Hi!






This will be a very short post but I am really excited about my new rings. I was totally inspired by the artists at the Boston Mills Artfest! WOW. I hope that you local folks had a chance to go as it was a real treat.


Well here are my latest creations I just think they are so out of the ordinary without being too crazy.

The 1st one is called Deliverance and the 2nd one is called Mod.
Have a great night!

Summer













Hi,


It's hard to believe that it is already the 4th. But what about this weather - Rachael said today it felt like Thanksgiving break. Thought that was sort of true. Oh well it's looking better later today in Cleveland.

I thought in celebration of the 4th I would post some summer pieces from my collection. The red and blue necklace is The 4th of July and the bracelet is A Little Piece of Summer. The pendants are beach glass where a hole was drilled so that they can be worn as a pendant. Thanks Julie for these:)

Did not make it to the Artfest last weekend but I heard it was awesome! I am, however, headed there today. Wish I had more $ to spend as there are so many great things to purchase and everything is hand made - even better!

I also wanted to share some great news. I sent a pair of earring to one of our local anchors in Cleveland and she responded to me this week. She loved them and showed them off to everyone in the newsroom. She also said that she is always looking for unique pieces to wear on the air and that my site is now one of her favorites!! WOW I was so excited.

Still waiting to hear about the Rocky River art show they extended the deadline due to so many jewelry people entering - they wanted to get different mediums. Keep your fingers crossed.

Will be back at Brother's this Thursday so if you are in the area, stop by!!!
On the puppy front - I have received several pics of the puppies there are 3 boys and 3 girls so we will see what happens as I get 3rd pic girl. I really like the dam of this litter though!

Keep your dogs inside this weekend!!!

Until next time...
