Some tidbits

A little late today, again. Yesterday I worked my part time job and was exhausted when I got home. Normally, I write this on Sunday and schedule it to be posted early Monday morning; however, I was too tired to move, so it is late today. 

I do not have much to blog today. I have some projects in the works but I have to take some pictures of the work in progress before I can post about them. I did learn a new wirewrapping technique on Saturday and as soon as I begin the project I will use it for, I will post pictures. 

The commission for the barefoot sandals is still in the works, so no news on it either. 

I really want to be more proficient at my blog and that is my plan, I just have to manage my time better. I do have some health issues that sometimes prevent me from doing much of anything, but I keep trying. 

Have a great day everyone!!

I am so excited!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day, I know that I did. I got to spend it with 3 of my 10 grandkids and 2 of my 5 children. I heard from the rest except for one. 

On Saturday I started my new very part time job and that was an experience. I am working at a very small convenience store about 25 miles from my home. It is located in a place where two roads converge on a very beautiful drive of the North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River, the most beautiful drive to work in North Idaho! The owner is a very nice lady. 

Last night I was messaging with a friend of mine on Facebook and she had received her barefoot sandal that I featured in a previous blog, and she has a LOT of friends. One of her friends asked her if I could sell her 50 pairs of the sandals to her and I would get credit for them. Apparently, she does a lot of shows and craft fairs. I will have to think hard about that. It is exciting though. It makes me feel validated! I have been working hard at trying to make a living making my jewelry, so this is really exciting for me. 

Have a great day everyone!!

I am late today!

Wow what a weekend we had!! I won't go into details as it is a long story. I was busy, to say the least. I made a beautiful large chunky ring for a friend and she loved it!!  Here it is.

It will not be listed in my shop as it is a custom order; however, I did put it in my gallery at http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/gallery/RoxysRox

I also finished another set of barefoot sandals for that same customer. The barefoot sandals are listed here:

I used to have a childcare in my home and I was able to go and listen to one of my former kids sing at a recital. She is now 16 years old and rocked the songs she sang. With a bit more practice to lose the nerves, she could sooo do "The Voice" or "America's Got Talent" 

A confession!

Ok, so I am still fairly new at this blogging thing. I must confess that I have not figured out how to make it fancy like some people have theirs, but it is mine and I will get it eventually. 

I am going to show a barefoot sandal that have made and not yet listed. I have never made one of these before and I am so proud of it!! Take a look and let me know what you think. 

The ankle part wraps the ankle 3 times. 

Seahawk bracelet is finished!!!

I had some changes last week and was released from my part-time "day job". This has freed up more time to work on my passion, jewelry!! I got the Seattle Seahawks quadruple wrap bracelet done!! I will be listing it on Tuesday, for sale, in my Artfire shop: http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/RoxysRox.
Here is a sneak peek at it. 

Oh jeepers, I made a mistake. This is a triple wrap, not a quadruple wrap bracelet. 

Apology for no post last week and new project

I have to apologize for not posting a blog last week. I was sick and then my grandkids got sick and it was not a pretty sight here at my house.

I have a new project I am working on in between making custom orders. It is a Seattle Seahawks colors wrap bracelet. It will be a great addition to your fan jewelry. Here are the first photos of the work in progress.

I also have a new listing on my Artfire website. It is a fun double anklet and earring set. The anklet can also be worn as a necklace. Here are the photos of it.

I hope you take a look and love it!!
