I crocheted two more bracelets last week. One was a single strand with a really pretty clasp. I am making one just like it for myself. I may use blue or purple beads since I've been wearing alot of both colors.

This is the more traditional one with turquoise and deep blue beads.

I'm working on a blue and silver one with a really unique pattern. The crocheted part seems short so I'll have to find a longer clasp to compensate. I do love making these bracelets :)

I started making jewelry again since I started putting in time to bead. It shouldn't be hard but I had not been able to sit down and bead for months. I started crocheting bracelets and made a couple of earrings for me to enjoy :)


My first bracelet in forever. I love the new clasps that are coming out so I am sure I will be doing more of this type of bracelet.


I love these Mother of Pearl Flowers and bought a ton of them this summer. I made myself a pair almost like this set.


The second bracelet which has a different clasp.


I have three more made and I am waiting to post them on etsy/artfire before showing them here :)

I've been doing riddles on my Mithril Dreams facebook page for people to win free jewelry. It is so fun! If you are good at riddles then give it a shot :)

I am having such trouble being motivated lately. It is like a took a lazy pill and it won't wear off. I have been managing to do everything on my three step action list (sort of like a todo) but it is HARD. I got all my orders off and finished resizing a ring.

I hate resizing rings. I am finding that just because I can doesn't mean I should. I just don't have the equipment to do it in a timely manner. It takes me three days from start to finish with all the torchwork and polishing. So, I'll do it but I am charging for the service.

I started working on a necklace for me tonight. It is an orchid carved out of agate really pretty an unique. I am using agate, Italian onyx, and glass beads for the necklace portion.

I also made this necklace with doing wire work. I worked the chain out of a design I saw in a magazine. It listed it on Etsy just yesterday.

I think I am going out with the guys tomorrow to see the new Predator movie so that should be fun. This weekend is all about cleaning!

I gave this to my mom a while back but it was too big. I'd like to give it to the other grandmothers but I suck at remembering the other kids birthdays.

We didn't make it all the way to mirror lake because we got a late start. I *had* to go to the bead store before setting off. Plus I didn't really want to get on Robbie's case. Snow is just too much temptation and we weren't dressed for the weather.

I created a syndicated feed of all my Etsy shop additions. I will still post the ones the things I like the most. This way I or anyone else can view all of the updates.
