These new earrings are to die for! I almost want to keep them for myself.
I got a really fantastic assortment of earth toned czech glass beads and decided to make a dramatic pair of earrings with them. They will be a super one of a kind item. I don't think I would ever be able to find all of these beads individually.
Check them out before they are gone.

More Awesomeness
I made a new pair of sparkle pretty dangle earrings and they are my first custom order. I really like them a lot and I plan on making a similar for my Etsy shop. 


My creative juices have really been flowing lately, which is great, because I have been going through a bit of a dry spell. I don't know about everyone else, but my creativity seems to come in spurts rather than a consistent steady stream. I wish I could tap into it all the time, but I guess my inspiration can't be turned on and off like a light switch.
I can't believe that it is already April. Holy Moly!!! Where is the year going? I wish I could make it s-l-o-w down. Just a little bit.

New Necklace
I made a new necklace that is not for Etsy, but as a gift for a friend. I really like it a lot and I will definitely make a similar version for my shop.
I had a great time making this necklace for so many reasons. The best part was how organic the creative process was. There was little to no planning that went into creating. I just sort of went for it and love the outcome.
I hope you like it too.

This is not an endorsement
...but it does venture so far into the beyond bizarre category that I had to share.
Happy Friday eveyone!
If you love La Pequeña too, you should also check out her awesome Amy Winehouse performance. You won't ever be the same again.

Friday roll call
I am so glad that it is Friday. This week crawled by and was filled with some minor irritants. The exterior of my apartment is being painted and it is causing all sorts of commotion.
We had to move all of our furniture off of the patio, which was a gigantic pain in the butt. My poor BF practically broke his back moving everything and to top it off, the powers that be have chosen the most garish color to repaint the building. Ugh!
I will end my rant here and post an awesome Treasury that catrocks curated. She included one of my favorite necklaces.

Hello to the world!
My laptop was without an internet connection for wayyyy toooo long, which is why I have been MIA.
I hope you all can forgive me...here is a new Treasury West I curated.

Diego
This is my sweet little cockatiel, Diego. He doesn't like to sit still for photographs, but he will whistle you his favorite songs.
When he is feeling silly, he will have a birdie conversation with my big toe. He crouches down and makes his version of people speak and it kind of sounds like mumbling. I get the feeling he thinks my toe is just another person who is closer to his size. They always start out playing nice, but eventually my big toe will make him angry and Diego will try to bite it. Or at least show my toe who is the boss.
It's pretty funny. When he really starts to get going, I can't help but laugh, which makes him more irritated. He does not like to be laughed at. I end up tucking my foot under a pillow or in between the cushions on the couch to avoid a bird bite. Diego will pace back and forth looking for his toe friend, completely baffled that it just disappeared into thin air. 
Diego LOVES people food and his favorites are, cilantro, shredded carrots, Italian parsley, brown rice and grapenuts.
He also likes Swarovski crystals because they are shiny, but he is not allowed to play with those. He is allowed to play with his new toy from wyspurcreations.
