Having some fun with some turquoise magnetic beads!  Look for the results in my shop by the end of the weekend!

Made my first ring today.  took me at least an hour but it is beautiful!  I'll post pics once the rest og the set is done.  Also, if any of you happen to be traveling to the poconos you will soon be able to see some of my stuff live!  You will have noticed a number of items disappeared from my shop.  That's because they are being sent to Closet Cases Consignment Boutique in Pocono Lake PA!  I'll have my own section in the store!  check them out here:

here is something I made just to send to the shop:

Got SIX new items listed yesterday!  my favorite of them is this one:

Lovely In Lavandar

So pretty isn't it?

Got the first of the faith jewelry sets done.  I'll post when all are done.  There will be 12 sets available in all. They make for a great witnessing tool.

In the meantime I'm also working on some new skills such as bracelets made with memory wire (already made 2 for my niece) and I'm trying my hand at a bead loom.  So far I'm still learning how to properly set the thing up.  Time management is obviously a must for me.  I try and choose what I will spend my time on each day.  Learning new skills is one way for me to still work with beads while I take a break from whatever I was working on.  I just need to remember to eat!

Welcome!

This is the new blog for my jewelry shop!  My inventory continues to expand and in time hopefully so will my followers!  I'm getting ready to post some new items that I recently finished and then its on to making some faith necklaces and bracelets.  I'm going to try and make these available both separately and together.  If you've never heard of a faith necklace or bracelet it's a simple piece of jewelry with just 5 pony beads, each a different color, that symbolize each step in the walk of a Christian's life.  Five in scripture is the number of grace by the way.  The beads and their meanings are as follows:

BLACK is for our original sin

Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”

James 1:14-16 “But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.  Then, when lust has conceived, it give birth to sin; and sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death”

RED is for Christ's blood He washed us in

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life”

Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrated His love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us

WHITE is because He made us white as snow

Titus 3:5 “Not by works of righteouness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit”

2 Corinthians 5:17-18 “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away, and all things have become new.”

BLUE is for His Spirit who helps us grow

1Co 12:3  Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

GREEN is for the growth we experience from now until eternity

2Co 3:18  But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
