Black Friday SALE

Ahhh the shopping season is upon us! How do you feel about stores being open on Thanksgiving Day? I don't know. I feel like everyone should get Thanksgiving Day off but I know there are those who don't celebrate the holiday who would rather be out shopping. Or those who have Thanksgiving Lunch and have the rest of the day free. I'm bummed for the people who have to work on Thanksgiving that wish they didn't, but it seems like it's going the way of stores opening on Turkey Day. Me, I'm always cooking on Thanksgiving Day so I will be home, in the kitchen!

I am starting my black friday SALE at my store on Thanksgiving Day. There is a 25% coupon code you can use. The coupon code is TURKEY2013. Fitting isn't it? I like to pride myself on selling affordable items, so if you like jewelry, check it out. They make great gifts!

Get it at FancifulWish

I was also asked to sell some of my jewelry at a friend's craft fair so that'll be fun. Now I just have to decide on what to bring! Oh well, I keep telling myself not to over do-it this year, because I tend to...alright everyone. Happy Shopping!

Thanks for reading,

Beaded Wire Hoop Earrings

I saw a bunch of these online a few months ago and decided to try and make some because I have many left over beads from various bracelet projects. I also LOVE hoop earrings. Plain hoops, silver or gold plated were my favorite accessory to wear and still would be if I didn't have a son who loves to pull jewelry off me. Ow. But I remember rocking hoops since I was in high school! A teacher of mine asked me if it hurt to wear them because I had these real big ones (she said a bird could make a nest in there...HA HA Ms. Kepner). Over the years I've had an obsession with hoops. Thin, thick, rhinestone, plain, large, small. My favorites are big thin hoops. I scoured the internet once more and found a bunch of sites with instructions on how to make wire hoops. I bought some wire and proceeded to make them. I didn't have hoops on hand so I made that part also. It's amazing what a tylenol pill bottle can be used for! Anywa...

Love - Wire Word Jewelry

It's almost the end of October and I am patiently waiting for the moment we get to move into our new home so I can feel "settled" again. I got about 4 months to go! Ha! Part of this feeling of being unsettled is that I thought I brought all my jewelry tools/supplies to our temporary home but of course in the chaos of moving and packing, I guess my hubby put a box in storage that I am so not willing to look for or retrieve. So I am parted from my stuff but oh well, it's just stuff and I can wait. While I wait, I have been itching to make things, daily! But my son is a toddler which means the only times I can work on anything (blog posts or jewelry) is when he takes his nap or naps. He is down to 1-2 naps a day. An hour isn't much time to get many things done, so it takes me a few days to make anything now. On a day he was fussing and being a terror to his older cousins, I got the bright idea to take him to the craft store so I can see what I could buy ...

Hand Stamped Metal Jewelry

One of FancifulWish 's best sellers (when I have the time to make them) are my hand stamped metal jewelry. I like the act of pounding a metal stamp into a piece of metal. Maybe it's stress relief? I bought my first kit from Beaducation . And yes I started off with a kit because I didn't know what went into metal stamped jewelry. I would have taken a class from my local jewelry store but I was at home with a newborn with no babysitter, so learning on my own was the way to go. Now I will warn you - making hand stamped jewelry is NOT cheap. You can get away with using a hammer you have at home to pound your letters into your metal but the letters themselves are pricey. I've only managed to collect 5 different types of letters, 3 of them the same font in different size with numbers included. The other a different font in lower and upper case sizes. And then there are punctation stamps and design stamps....not cheap. Alphabet s...
