Our cherry blossom tree is in full bloom. The yard is full of dandelions. Lila takes the park very seriously! And rock collecting season is in full swing.
My grandmother wore silouhettes just like these of all of her grandchildren, including Max and Lisa (me and my brother!). Hers were gold and had the names engraved. When I was young, I thought each one was actually made to look like each of us. I wonder where that bracelet is now?
Sometimes the limiting factor with making a new necklace is finding the right supplies. After years of looking for good quality nice thick 14k gold filled discs, I finally decided to make my own!
Here is my first necklace created with discs I have made. I love the washer! I can't decide if the gold looks better with the letters blackened or not. . .
Have something LONG to say? Here is a Harry Potter quote requested by a customer. I've never heard it, but I'm glad it wasn't even ONE letter longer! "It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities"
We are settled back in Baltimore after a very fun trip to Houston. Thanks to Mom and Terry for letting me set up my studio in the dining room!
My phototag and disc necklace, as shown on Personligesmykker, was featured in the Norwegian "Mamma" magazine! We are still enjoying our trip in Houston, and Grandpa Terry took us to feed the ducks. Lila was SO intrigued by the ducks and pigeons. This baby duck was SO not impressed with the matzah. It was still Passover.
Lila and I just spent 3 days in California. We got the keys to our new house! EVERYONE thought our baby looked just like her Mommy and Daddy. After a while, Uncle Max just started saying, "Thank you!" And YAY! While we were on the airplane back to Houston, my collar stays made the front page of Etsy!
How LUCKY to have my sterling collar stays chosen for the Dad gift guide on Etsy! In other news, we made it to Houston yesterday (minus Edwin), and all I can say is why, why, WHY did I leave my Southwest drink coupons on my refrigerator? I was done for by the time we got through security!
Check out this newly launched site, Chaotic Creations by Kristen for awesome gifts and personalized products, including Under Her Charm jewelry! And how lucky that her site, along with my family cluster necklace, has been chosen for Top Posh Product on Posh Baby! Thanks for all of your hard work, Kristen!
I have lots of orders to send out from when we were on vacation! Here are some going out today. Look at this great big family! I LOVE this sweet little intertwined necklace I made today! My new favorite:
