Saturday Mornings Wire Designs

These two designs literally created themselves this morning . All i did was add the "physical hands on "part. The copper colored wire and the green beads really glow in the goddess dancer . Each of these is OOAK ( one of a kind ) .

Couponing........... Frugal Invitation BLog

I have been trying to use coupons all i can last few months and i have found that i can save a bit off my weekly bill. I dont actually buy alot at the grocery as i grow a big garden and cook ..more than buy processed items. But every 50 cents saved here and there really adds up

I decided to start listing some of the  couponing blogs i have started following. I will be listing one  a day so you can go over and read thru them . Here is todays ......... http://www.frugalinvitation.com   

Wire Wrap RIngs ...........

I really enjoy wire wrapping .......relieves stress and i can find myself lost in the swirls and twists I can create.....The hardest part of it all though is getting a good picture to list in my Etsy store. :) I use a table lamp that i can move around to get the benefit of the best light .

Enjoying my 4 days off work........

My job has been slow so I have a 4 day weekend !!!!!!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I worked in the garden areas most of yesterday and today .. it is growing quite nicely .

Redesigning a few pieces

This morning i took an old tarnished bracelet that i really liked and wrapped some copper tone wire around it. Turned out great. You cant tell it is tarnished at all . Then i took this hematite stone that i have worn for about 20 years .I added a little silver wire and a new chain and it is good for another 20 or more years :)Now i have to run errands and work in the yard . Tonight i may have time to create a few more designs . Nothing has been selling with money tight for everyone.........sooooooooooooo I think i will just make stuff for myself for a bit .works for me !!!!!!!!!!

All mine....................

I decided to take a night and create necklaces that i will keep for me ..all mine !!!
First though i had to clean the living room and the couch looked so inviting with my locker hook rug waiting on me..................so i just had to turn the tv on and hook a few rows.
Then I was all in the "craft zone" so i moved on to jewelry design. These are what i ended up with to keep :)

4th July Cowgirls :)

It will be back to work tomorrow but today i am enjoying working with these reprints of a vintage cowgirl on a paint horse ..
It is dark and gloomy outside...really wish it would rain and get it over with. I kinda wanted sunshine and hot to spend the day in my tiny pool . Since it isnt co-operating I guess I "will just have to"make another necklace or 3. 

As always alot of my designs are up for sale and can be found at www.1craftywoman.com

Sundays are for getting little projects finished up..............

I had a lovely 4 hr nap today :) All the fireworks kept me awake till past 2 am . I am NOT a fan of fireworks at all ...........unless they are at an event and done by professionals.So wondering if all the bottle rockets landing on my roof are going to start a fire make me a bit  crabby !!
I cleaned and organized the craft room today. I had alot of old sweat pants to cut into rags and strips for my rug hooking. Once i had all that out of the way it looked pretty nice . Tomorrow i will get some mending done and work on hemming the sleeves in a stack of shirts. They originally were long sleeved but the cuffs were worn out soooooooooooooooooooo.............. i cut the sleeves off and they can be hemmed and will look just fine.
I found some paper i had put away that looks great for my brochure ..........

Then I had 3 little leather notepad covers that needed a cute pic modpodged on the fronts ............

Then i had time before my nap to bring this little fella to life .....he is over on my sales blog  for sale for 17.99 if anyone is interested

Creative Evening............

I spent a wonderful afternoon with a dear friend and then this evening I was full of wonderful energy that I used to create a few new designs ...

I love these handpainted shell pendants. They originally were earrings and i decided they would be stunning as a necklace instead........ these pieces are for sale and can be found at www.1craftywoman.com
