28 going on 80...

Thursday morning i bent down to get my bra out of my laundry basket and *CRUNCH* my back went out! I injured my disc AGAIN (last time this bad was in July of 2003) and I can't do a goddamn thing now. It hurts to sit, lay down, walk, stand, and pretty much just exist. So I'm taking advantage of my immobility by making as much jewelry as I can. I just added a whole bunch of new things to my store. I'm trying to make use of the large amount of beads and crystals that I have built up in the past year instead of just buying new ones all the time. Bad thing is that I ran out of wire just when I started getting ideas to use wire instead of chain!! Argh!! I'm going to focus on making earrings for now since I have tons of ear wires and studs. Here are a few things I've made lately:


Millefiori Heart Bracelet

Dragonfly Earrings with Opalite

Octopus Necklace brass and crystal

This one I made a while back and forgot about it...I really like it though!

These are revamped from an earlier design


Multi-strand seed bead necklaces


I made this one for Kim (ex-sister in law) for Christmas

I made all these last night! I have more colors I'm going to work on today

I like these too the red ones especially!


Dragonfly necklace with opalite bead accent. I love these pendants they are nice and lightweight but good quality.

yuck! Sorry about your back! At least you have a hobby that you can work on horizontally!!

Love love love the earrings - very pretty and simple.

Wow sis i'm glad you liked it so much! I ran out of wire though so I can't make any more for a bit :( I have enough beads to make a goldish brown one too and another green/blue one. I hope Kimmy likes the blue one!
