I know I should be more professional about such things...
But... WOOHOO!!
I had my best day ever in the shop today and it felt really good. Thank you, thank you to my wonderful supporters out there. You rock my world!
Now I must get my nose to the grindstone and get my little shop restocked!
On that note, I did add this to the shop late last night:
White jade and sterling. Strung on a simple sterling bead chain to keep it on the affordable side.
Despite the fact that school starts next week (well, officially it starts tomorrow but I don't have classes on Fridays this semester), I will be spending extra time in the studio over the next few weeks so I can get some new items made and listed for you (and for me, because let's be honest, I do this for me). So keep an eye on the blog and my facebook page for news about shop updates.
I also wanted to take a little blog space to rave about my incredibly talented family. I mentioned after Christmas that my 8 year old daughter, Aidan, had taken up sewing and was proving to be quite the prodigy? Well, here are a few of her creations:
Grandparents, commence the oohing and aahing!
And not to be upstaged by our 8 year old, the Foxy one has been stoking her creative fire as well! She took a printmaking class over the fall, and our darling feline Spooky proved to be the perfect screenprinting subject. Here he is at Stephanie's art show debut:
And this one, which she just made for fun at home, is going in my studio:

Yep. My family's pretty darn awesome.
I'll be back again with more soon. I finally replaced my 5 year old laptop, so picture editing and blogging won't be such a time suck! Woohoo!
And happy Friday (in 10 minutes CST!)

A New Ring
Well, I didn't finish all three pieces, but I did manage to squeeze in enough time in the studio to finish this one:
Winter Forest Ring
Medicine Bow dendretic agate and sterling silver. I really, really ♥ this ring! Wish I could keep it for myself, but the shop is looking a little bare these days.
It's there now.
Happy Sunday!
