Craft Shows

Corrie and I have been busy with craft shows this season. So far some have been bad, some have been good, but overall I am pleased for even getting around to doing one! I have been thinking of new goals for the new year... such as getting back to traditional metalsmithing and such... We will see how that goes!

Here are some images of us at the Philadelphia Independent Craft Market Holiday Edition:





We have one more craft show to go! Come check us out at Johnny Brenda's this Sunday!

Been experimenting...

Craft show in a week and I'm hardly ready. I'm still trying to perfect these monogram necklaces...

C is for Cat!

I always have a problem focusing on multiple things...

I've been on a little bit of a hiatus lately. Working on lesson plans, dealing with crappy real life stuff, etc. I'm finally starting to work on a couple of new pieces for the holidays. These are just the beginnings of a new smaller necklace I'm going to be making...

Q-pot Jewelry

I never knew Q-pot in Japan primarily made jewelry! I always thought they made cell phone charms. Totally innovative and adorable jewelry. I need to be making things like this! Q-pot!

If only I could be as cool..

I would have fun music days such as this one.

My Crafty Wedding Obsession...

Photography by Brookelyn Photography

As many of you know, I am determined to hand make 90% of my wedding (whenever I get married). Martha Stewart always showcases the most beautiful weddings-- and I am always gathering ideas from her... but I just discovered this blog: Once Wed.

The site is filled with wonderful D.I.Y ideas, beautiful wedding photography, and the most charming handmade weddings. You need to check out this awesome escort card idea! Which would fit perfectly in my dream wedding!


For my friends who are thinking of tying the knot (possibly next year, you know who you are!)-- i REALLY recommend this!


PS: Mom & Dad, do not get any ideas that I am engaged.

Eric & Sushma

Ahhh... finally finished arts & crafts week. I made a little elephant for Eric and Sushma. It was supposed to have their names on his side, but I am too tried and unskilled to hand cut fancy letting out.
