Fanciful Wish Shop - Reopened!

Yes it is true! I decided to reopen my ETSY store Fanciful Wish, on a small scale just for the holidays!

I've been waiting for the right time to open my shop again. And it felt right to reopen the store especially since I have been creating christmas gifts for friends and family. Then a loyal customer who has been waiting for me to reopen asked if I would be. That gave me the much needed push in the right direction, that I needed. So yes, I am officially open again.

Hooray!

So I will keep my shop open until February 2014 when once more I will be moving to my permanent home, for good (God willing). Then once I am settled in, we shall see how I can keep my shop open while caring for my son. I hope I can do it because I really love making jewelry. While living at my parents house at least at certain times of the day, I have someone to watch him for just a little while.

I still have plans to broaden my knowledge in making jewelry, as soon as I can free up some time to take more classes. For now, check out my shop Fanciful Wish for macrame bracelets and hand stamped jewelry. I'm going to keep my selection small this time around since I don't have all the time I used to have.

I will be revealing a coupon code for 25% off to use at my store on Black Friday. So please stay tuned.

Thank you for your patience and ALWAYS thank you for reading!

Xoxo,

Yolanda

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...
