It started with...

this custom order:








The design belongs to my client, I was just the monkey that made it.
This piece has a long and dramatic history and I don't go for drama. I love this necklace who was very nearly rejected, but had a happy ending after all.

The same time I started the custom orders I took a length of sterling sheet and sawed out three more crescent moons.







Sterling silver and Rainbowmoonstone








Sterling silver and labradorite








Rainbowmoonstone and lapis

I really enjoyed creating this little series! All these necklaces can be found in my Etsy shop. Http://amynicolejewelry.etsy.com

Charmed, I'm sure...

I just added a few new charms to The Charm Shoppe .   Some lovely labradorite, and fresh water pearls.  All in silver.  But my very favorite one, a new Moonflower.  I just finished it last night inspired by some components I had already made laying around on my bench.






























Little faceted Peridot as hanging leaves, hand stamped and formed flower, and the most amazing moonstone I've seen!  It glows like a light.

Have the happiest of weekends my friends!  TGIF!!!  :-)

TGIF!!


These are the 2nd pair of earrings I have made in this style.  I am really loving them!  I had a customer request moonstone earrings.  That's it.  Just moonstone earrings.  I love it when I can just play!

Well, here we are at the end of school week 2.  The tantrums from my little one seem to have abated.  Thank God!  It is quite an adjustment, but I think we are all getting used to it.  Luckily my girls LOVE school.  I love seeing them so happy and excited to start their day.

My oldest is 8 and in 3rd grade.  She is starting to become more interested in what she is wearing and how her hair looks, and what jewelry she should wear.  It really is cute to see her preening in the morning.  She wants to spend her allowance on make up.  That, I don't think I 'm quite ready for.  This year is the year of the sequin for her it seems.  About 80% of her new school clothes have either sequins or glitter.  So sparkly!!

The house is quiet right now, except for the gentle snoring of our not so miniature schnauzer.  Poor guy is getting old, and spends most of his time sleeping.   So, I am off to clean house (YUCK), and then finish up a couple of projects I started yesterday.

I was feeling a bit uninspired yesterday, but still managed to start 2 pairs of earrings.  Why do I love making earrings so much?  I just don't get it!  Everything I make seems to be earrings.  I don't know.  I guess I'll just go with it.

My husband bought tickets to a college football game at the new Cowboy stadium.  So, that's what I'll be doing tomorrow night.  I am trying really hard to gear myself up for it.  I'm not really into sports of any kind.  If hard pressed, I would prefer basketball.  I don't even have a clue about how the game of football is played, the rules or anything.   But, he hasn't been to the stadium yet (the girls and I got to go on a tour with the girl scouts earlier in the year), and he is really excited to go.  So, for my hard working hubby, I will grin and bear it!  :)

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!!!
