  • My Earrings are up For Sale!

    One of the little perks that our local public library offers is three display cases that patrons can sign up for to sell their crafts, and months back, Lilli signed me up for one. A fact that I was aware of but completely forgot about until a couple of months back when Lilli reminded me and said that if I didn’t want it, I needed to cancel soon.

    I sat on the decision for another day or two before deciding, “no, this is something I need to push myself to do”. So, over the past couple of months I set myself a quota to make a few new pairs a week, and I did it!

    For the month of June my earrings will be available for purchase, and folks can sign up if they want to order one of my earring frames. I don’t expect to make too much off of them, but if I can make just a bit I might consider doing things like this more often~

    …and of course, a full case was much too big for the inventory I had, so I enlisted Lilli to set up her handmade collage bookmarks and hats for sale too! The photo credit is hers too.

  • A new home for earrings

    After almost two years of collecting earrings (and making a couple myself) I’ve found myself with a fairly substantial quantity… and the box that used to hold them was getting a bit small and unwieldy.

    Using some spare resources I had in the basement, and some decorative trim I got special, I made a custom earring frame to hang on my wall for all my french hooks. Here are the results!
