Almost Christmas???

Wow, I cannot believe it is a week until Christmas!  Every year goes by faster and faster....it seems like just a few months ago we were spending New Year's Eve in Florida!  Mostly been working on Petoskey stone jewelry, interspersed with some resin and other beaded creations.

All available in my Etsy shop!  Happy Holidays!!

More Petoskey Stone Pendants......

As I listen to the tumbler downstairs working on another round of Petoskey stones, I thought I'd post some from my last batch that are making their way into my Etsy shop.

Lots more coming too!

Michigan Beach Stones

Recently tumbled another batch of Petoskey and beach stones from northern Michigan....

Picked out a few for some new pendants:

Zoanthus Coral

So I got a rock/jewelry tumbler for my birthday.  Excited to try it out, especially to try to tumble some Petoskey stones.  After some research, found a lot of sites that recommend only polishing by hand, as the stones are so soft.  But there are a couple of sites that have some instruction, so I will give it a whirl.  Hand polishing really does a number on my hands!

During my research, I came across a few sites that showed pictures of live coral similar to the coral that Petoskey stones came from.  So cool!

So hopefully soon I will have some more new jewelry to post!

New Petoskey Stone Jewelry

Have a craft show coming up in a couple of weeks, wanted to get some new stuff to take, so I spent the weekend working on some seed bead bracelets and polishing up some Petoskey stones to make some earrings and necklaces.  Note I now offer free domestic shipping in my shop for all orders over $25!

Happy New Year!

And just like that, another year has flown by....

Not much going on in my shop, not feeling very creative so far this year.  Probably because I am still in vacation mode.  We spent a week in Florida over the holidays.  The weather wasn't overly warm, but it was still warmer than the negative temperatures back home!  I collected a lot of seashells, hoping to get some things made with them.

Here's a couple of new things I did get made up, getting ready for Valentine's Day!

True Love Pendant

Music Heart Pendant

And here's a picture from Florida, dreaming of warmer weather!
