I'm ready, are you? I've started getting my scents together for fall. Today I made this luscious treat, pumpkin souffle candles. Mmmmm....It's a wonderfully aromatic pumpkin scent with top notes of caramelized sugar and warm spices of nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon. I wanted to take a bite! Want to get some for yourself? Visit my Etsy shop.

Today I'm feeling very summery. I wish I had the body for one of those fabulous floral bikinis so I could lay on the beach and bake myself..skin cancer be damned. LOL Instead, I created this lovely necklace and earrings out of Czech glass blossom beads and Swarovski crystals. It's perfect for that bikini and a nice sarong, or anything in your summer wardrobe. These items are available for sale in my Etsy shop.

Summer Flowers

Well spring is finally over, and I've moved on to summer flowers. I must admit, I'm partial to these flower beads (just in case you couldn't tell that!). This set was created by rufusandroxy. These earrings are available for purchase in my Etsy shop.

Ok, I can't help it, I just can't! I'm addicted to lampwork beads. Oh I have my favorite lampwork bead makers, and I'm sure there are many more out there waiting for me to discover them....Here's a set of earrings I made today with beads from imakebeads. They're so luscious you could just pop them in your mouth and eat them.

Luscious Lampwork Earrings

I want to have a bathtub full of lampwork beads. I want to fill a room with them. A semi truck even! The colors, techniques, sizes (although I'm very partial to the lentil!)..they're all so amazing! If you get a chance, visit some of my favorite lampwork bead sellers, and don't forget to check out my Etsy shop for amazing creations made from my lampwork bead addiction! :)

New Addictions...

I swear I will never learn. I just won't. My newest addiction......making greeting cards. It's fun. It doesn't take quite the level of concentration that whole scrapbooks do, and that's good (for me at least). I always wanted to scrapbook, but never had the attention span to complete whole pages, not to mention whole books. In fact, I rarely remember the camera! I have finally found the answer I guess. (Or at least another reason to spend endless hours searching for stuff on line or in the craft store, much to my husband's dismay!)

You can check out my newest cards, and even purchase some, in my Etsy shop.

I think I'm in trouble....

That's right, you see, recently I bought these cupcakes from a fellow Etsian Chelmorning.

Cupcakes

After countless turtles from my buddy Happywhosits, I just had to have these cuties. I am getting that feeling...yup, I think I'm in trouble......I think....I'm becoming addicted....to amigurumi!!!!! I mean just look at how darn cute these little cupcakes are with their seed bead sprinkles! Pink icing and white icing...How much more perfect could they be???? And calorie free at that!

I think next I'm going to get a chocolate one......Off to send a special request.... :)

Ok, so back in the 80's, when I was hip and cool, I had this pleather jacket. It was green snake skin, and was cut like a jean jacket. Totally awesome. When I saw these beads, they reminded me of that jacket so much...ahhh the memories....I had to have them, to remind me of my days of cool, big hair and Z. Cavariccis. Ok, so I threw out the jacket last year. Gimme a break.

This bracelet is available for purchase in my Etsy shop.

April Showers Earrings

Sirens of the Sea.....

Mermaids.....the sirens of the sea....for ages they have been beckoning sailors...Supremely beautiful, forever combing their hair, just beyond reach of men, the mermaid has beckoned the adventurous to the unknown and the promise of forbidden fruits for ages. I created these earrings with thoughts of iridescently scaled tails, creamy skin, hooters clad only in seashell bras. Long, curly hair, wearing a pair of earrings much like these.....
