About Time

that i post some pictures....

So this past month i'd say has been probably the busiest for me in years...before i go on explaining here are some pictures of my jewelry i have made!!!!


I'm so excited for this new found hobby of mine!!  I've signed up for 4 new classes this month all of which i'll be soldering and working with metal.  I'm beyond excited and can't wait to make more cool stuff.  Hopefully by winter i'll be selling my stuff in boutiques or at craft fairs or both!!

On my way...

To Becoming a jewelry designer!! Muahaha

Today I signed up for 2 classes at Bead it!!!!!!!!!!! I am taking wire basics on monday and fused chain next week!  I was so excited and high off life and coffee that I hopped the curb with my car driving out of the parking lot and it made a loud comotion. HAHAHA so embarrassing because a car was waiting for me to come out and I just busted up laughing at my horrible driving.  But, seriously I was so excited that I didn't even let myself get embarrassed.  Anyways, the classes are just basic but I need to take them first, before I can take all the fun ones that let me make cool bracelets and rings and stuff!  After the classes I'll be sure to post pictures of what me made and what I learned!!!  But I just had to write a post dedicated to the pure excitement I have for this right now.  Haha

she sells sea shells by the seashore

found alllll of these lovely jewelry design ideas today on wings hawaii.

I absolutely love their stuff... Check out their website and for even better photos go to their facebook.  I'm really into using lots of sea shells in my jewelry.  I think its so cool.  One of my favorites I'm excited to make is a cowrey shell ring.  ahhhh can't wait to start!

sleepy

wish i was napping in this...
i found this about a year ago when i was researching ways to make a small apartment cozier...now that I'm back in my old house with a new room, i'm thinking of ways to spice it up and make it funner to be living at home.  I think i'm gonna try this idea out now because it's my house so i can drill holes in the wall and such, and i couldn't do anything nearly as cool at my old apartment.  For the entire tutorial you just follow this link makeyourowncanopy.  Enjoy!
GOOoooOOOODDD MORNING bloggers!

creative juices

Got back from a nice lunch with my good friend Ryan today.  After we had lunch and parted our seperate ways, I decided to stay in Ward a little longer and wander around the shops.  I stopped by Eden in Love and Cottage by the Sea.  Seeing all the pretty jewelry really makes me want to get my fingers dirty and start designing my own jewelry.  I would love to one day walk into a store and see my own jewelry for sale.  I feel like I have all the creative juices to do this and I really want to see to it that I make my dream a reality.  But, first things first!  I need to take some classes!  I think my best bet is going to be Bead It! in Kailua...they have a great selection of classes and I can't wait to get started!  Well hope everyone is having a great day!  It sure is a HOT one in HAWAII!!
