No New Jewelry But Shots of My Pathetic Little Studio


I don't know what has happened but my little studio space has gone to the dogs!  I went in to see if any creative juices would flow but I just could not create in this mess!!

So even thought this is embarassing as hell I decided to show this mess and hopefully it will spur me on to clean it up.




The pic below is where I store things and from pulling out and just throwing stuff back the little bookshelf has turned into a nightmare!!  Look how I just threw crap back in.  I can be such a slob?  Am I the only one?







This pic below is more storage shelves that I picked from a give away at an office in my building that was closing down it's location.  It used to be so neat and I could find stuff when needed.  Ugh!!!!







Then there's my computer  and the crap has started moving over there.  It's hard to blog when you are surrounded by a junky mess.  Don't even know what half of that stuff is.





The one below is where i've recently started trying to create.  So uninspiring! I have these crappy torn blinds up there and these awful curtains that were in another room (it's clean by the way).  Under the table are some really nice little antique looking containers given to me by a friend from work.  They are nice but need to be stored somewhere out of the way.  There's also my nice collection of jewelry making books that are just stacked on the floor.  That's what I got the bookcase for.









 And why I have kept this elliptical machine in here is beyond me. Probably because like lots of peeps I intended to use it.  Operative word intend.  But I haven't even looked at that thing for several months. Sad.



So now that everyone knows what a mess i've been trying to create in I vow to clean this mess up and to keep it that way.  My husband walked in behind me to use the computer but he quickly left with a disgusted look on his face.

So i'm off to begin the task of getting back in order.  If you can be a slob please say so in comments so I won't feel so bad.  I will show pics of it cleaned up so you'll know that I did it.

New Earrings-Black and White

So I made these earrings this evening.  When I saw these beads I fell in love with them.  I love the black/white trend.  I added some little sea blue beads for the color.  Love these.


I tried some fancy photography--not so good.  But I tried.  Anyway, don't you love these beads?








Here's a better look.  I know I need to really work on my pics.  They actually suck.  So i'll work on that.






So if you are inclined check these out in my etsy store here

Thanks for  reading!

Blog Challenge Results

This was a challenging component for me.  And I guess that was the point.  But I hate challenges.  Makes me nervous.  Sad I know.  Anyway below is the item I made and I don't particularly like it but i'll be brave and post it.  Wait till you go to the host's blog.  Lorelei is her name and she does some of the most wonderful pieces.

Don't tell her but she is a design inspiration for me.  So here's the item I made.  I'm not so fond of it but it's all I could come up with.  So here goes:



I used two bracelets with the pendant on them and the other 2 are sea glass inspired beads in a beautiful blue and green.  Love the beads.


I just made a bracelet stack.The two bracelets on the outside are singles.



So now to the host's blog and the others who participated.  They are all very talented and I think you'd enjoy seeing all the different interpretations.  Enjoy!
