Inspiration for my hard work

I have posted before about being a stay at home mom but just realized that I didn't have a picture of her on the blog. She is truly my inspiration for all my hard work. I hope one day she finds something she truly enjoys and goes for it!!!

Spring is coming....

I just love Spring. It is a time of year of growth and beauty all around. I live in Florida so the Spring change is more subtle... more birds, slight breeze, Gulf water above 70 degrees (ha, ha). Every Spring I find myself creating designs that are light in color and full of fun. Take a look!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I hope the new year has started well for everyone and just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day. What better way to celebrate than to buy some jewelry for yourself. Come check out my Ebay store at http://ebay.stores.com/Handspun-Jewelry-Designs or Etsy at http://HandspunJewelry.etsy.com for great gift ideas for yourself or someone else.

I try to post new items daily. I have been trying to work with new gemstones I haven't worked with before. Sometimes I get artist block and just have to try something new!!! Hope all is well =)))

New Year & New Purpose!!!

I am in the process of reorganizing my Handspun Jewelry Designs inventory and am aiming to have new items listed everyday. Times are tough for all so my goal is to list everything at an affordable price. Come check us out!!!

On a lighter note, my daughter is watching her new Peter Pan movie for the 9,000th time since Christmas. It is amazing the background noise you can tune out as a parent, but for some reason the "I can fly" song just gets stuck in my head everytime!!!

Hope everyones' year has started out well!

Why does it feel like June 2009 already???

This year has just started and it feels like it is going by much to fast!!! I am busy cleaning house and actually have listed some of my daughters clothes she doesn't wear anymore on Ebay to try and clean house. I am actively trying to live a more enjoyable and clutterfree life for 2009. I do not think I am succeeding yet but I am trying and that is what counts!!! I have been busy creating some new earrings I will be listing on both Ebay & Etsy. I know that many are strapped during this hurtful recession so I wanted to make some small pick me up gifts!

Hope all is well =)

Happy New Year!!!!

Hello 2009....
I like other folks am very happy to see 2009. The end of a year has such a symbolic meaning for so many. I normally don't do Resolutions for the new year but this year seems different to me for some reason so I have decided to list a few:
1. Always remember what is really important in my life
2. Work hard to spend more time with my family while increasing my exposure for Handspun Jewelry Designs online (easier said than done)
3. Don't stress about what I don't have around me (whether it be family or whatever) and focus on what I do.

I will be posting some new store items both on Ebay and Etsy. Come check me out! Happy New Year!!!!

I love and hate this time of year!!!

I love and hate this time of the year. Like many Americans this holiday season, I don't have much money to spend but I still feel the pressure to get a lot of things for my family and daughter. I keep having to remind myself that that is not what is important about this time of year. This year I get to have all of my family together for the holidays which never happens and I feel truly blesses!!! I just wish that I didn't have the nagging, wish I had more money blues =(((

On a more positive note and a shameless plug, now is a great time to get your last minute gifts at Handspun Jewelry Designs. I am posting new designs daily!!!! Happy Holidays
