Revisiting Some Old Favorites
Bring on the Holiday Season!
Most people are incredulous at the sight of Christmas lights in stores in late September. Yes–late September this year. (I wonder how early retailers will dare to go in the coming years…) Me–I love it. I am a huge sucker for anything holiday-ish (fun fact: I listen to Christmas music whenever I dang well feel […]
Fall/Winter 2014 Collection
(Above: PEARL necklace, CRUZ layering necklace. Model/photograph: Mariya Moore.) Wow, it has been a crazy past several months. Since my last post in March, I’ve designed and produced a few more collections (including CITY LIGHTS, my Fall/Winter 2014 collection); become waaaay more comfortable selling at different craft shows; and I even have an email subscriber […]
Spring Comes and Goes in Portland
In honor of spring, I wanted to share some old* photographs of springtime in its ravishing (and occasional, since spring usually doesn’t stick in Portland, Oregon) glory. (Some still have my old copyright on them… I wonder where the originals are. Hmm.) A few of the various locations where the following photographs were taken: Farmers’ […]
The Joy from Creating
For all my fellow artists and crafters… I know you know what I’m talking about when I say that it feels good to see the end product of something you have designed and created–whether it’s a photograph, a ceramic bowl, or a knit scarf. I recently finished my newest collection, Origins, for my jewelry brand. […]
Sneak Peek of My New Collection, Origins!
I’m so excited to start unveiling my new jewelry collection! These are necklaces featuring brass pieces that I have etched, polished, sanded, and painted. I love color (you need only visit my other Etsy shops, YellowcakeCrafts.etsy.com and TeaPartyAnimals.etsy.com, to see that!), but I wanted to visit the basics. Thus, Origins is a simple but striking […]
This Means Business
My business cards arrived today! 😀 I did double-sided this time, with color on both sides, so you can just imagine how smashing fancy I feel. 😀 I am SO excited to start giving them out. I’ll add a coupon code on the ones I carry around (so I can direct them to my shop […]
Bring the sun back!
It rained today, which made me feel very, very lazy. (Amirite??) I did, however, get some new design templates made for my jewelry. 😀 AND we got caught up on Walking Dead. Also read a little bit more of 1421: The Year China Discovered America, which is vastly interesting. Must do more research into this. […]
Spring is here!! (I hope…)
It has been uncharacteristically sunny and warm the last several days here in Portland, Oregon. Absolutely lovely, actually! Too bad I’ve been holed up inside–BUT it’s for something good. I’ve been working on more jewelry designs, trying to figure out this whole social media marketing shebang, and hangin’ with my cats. They have a level […]
