I’m getting a lot more out of my new favorite fruit thanks to your helpful comments on the last post about peeling and cutting a mango! Thank you!
I’ve been occupied with writing work this week, with no time to drag out the sewing machine and stitch anything at all. Which may be why my posts have been few and far between- I feel like I’m cheating when I blog without something to show for myself.
But even when I don’t have time to deal with the larger-scale mess of a sewing project, I need my craft fix. So this week it has been all about tiny jewelry projects, a few of which are in my etsy shop.
Earrings are possibly my favorite jewelry item. They make an appreciable difference in an outfit without being annoying (unless they are heavy or pinch, boo), they are small so you can pack lots when you go on vacation, and you can use the very best materials without breaking the bank, since you only need a little of everything to make them.
From Camilla I learned that the wonderful jewelry designer from whom I got these earrings has opened up a shop on etsy. Perhaps it isn’t good business to steer you away from my work, but Designalicious jewelry is just gorgeous. Like so much handmade work you can buy online, it is impossible to appreciate how beautiful it is in person in even the best picture, so if you see anything you like over there, buy it and be assured that when you get it you will be happy.
I don’t think I’ve mentioned it lately but my new decade birthday is exactly a week away! I’m all about celebrating every possible chance I get, so there will be much revelry in the schedule, including a visit from family this weekend. Perhaps there won’t be much sewing, but I’ll be gathering up ideas for projects to try when everything settles down a bit.
