<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hallelujah! I've taken my last final and class are over until January! I celebrated by making a handful of ocean focals and posting them on Etsy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm still running a sale in my shop until December 17 - now's the time to pick up some great beads at a great price!</span><br />

Yep, we all need lots of quick little gifts to show gratitude and appreciation for all those people in your life. Teachers, office assistants, co-workers, and bus drivers are just a few of the people you might need a quick "Thank You" gift for. And if you're anything like me, your time and pocketbook are already getting stretched pretty thin.<br />
<br />
No worries! I've put together a handful of quick little gifts that you can whip up in 10 minutes or less. Why? Because while a Starbucks gift card may be quick and easy, it's also really impersonal. Nothing says "I was thinking of you" quite like a lovely gift that you made. <br />
<br />
It's super easy! All of the non-lampwork components are found at a craft store near you, whether that might be Hobby Lobby, Michael's, JoAnn, or A.C. Moore. My personal favorite (this week) is Hobby Lobby, because they have all of their On a Cord necklaces, bracelets, and stringing materials on sale for 50% off!<br />
<br />
Ready? Here we go!<br />
<br />
<b>1. Elastic Bracelet/Hair Tie</b> - Most of us have hair, right? I'm betting that's a pretty safe assumption to make. :) I have girls, and I'd be willing to bet you that if we have 1 hair elastic in this house, then we probably have 876,123,865 of them. (Give or take...) But what I've noticed is that while they might have ONE in their hair, they're usually wearing 2 or 3 on their wrists. Why not add a bead and make them jewelry too?!<br />
<br />
What you'll need:<br />
- fold-over elastic<br />
- scissors<br />
- big hole lampwork bead (<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/jenagirlbeads?ref=hdr_shop_menu&section_id=20400765" target="_blank">Etsy store</a>)<br />
<br />
I saw tons and tons of fold-over elastic at JoAnn's last week. Prints, solids, ombre, ruffled, glittery - you name it, they probably have it. Another great source if you have time to order it would be <a href="https://www.theribbonretreat.com/" target="_blank">The Ribbon Retreat</a>. (No kickbacks here, just sharing a really great source I've used in the past.)<br />
<br />
Cut your elastic to 8" long. Slide a big-hole bead to the center. Fold the elastic in half and tie a knot, sliding it as close to the edge as you'd like. Done! Wasn't that super easy?!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>2. Keychain</b> -Who doesn't need a cute keychain to fondle? Seriously! And this project could NOT be simpler or faster.<br />
<br />
What you'll need:<br />
- key chain rings<br />
- leather lace (or hey - vinyl cord would work too!)<br />
- big hole lampwork beads (<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/jenagirlbeads?ref=hdr_shop_menu&section_id=20400765" target="_blank">Etsy store</a>)<br />
- scissors <br />
<br />
Key chain rings can be bought in the jewelry or leather supply section of any craft store. Ditto for the leather lace.<br />
<br />
Knot your leather lace around the ring using a lark's head knot instead of your normal square not. Click <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=larks+head+knot&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjyiY7U69DQAhUCsFQKHbl_BzkQ_AUICCgB&biw=1920&bih=860#imgrc=5wVmx2kGZpaPUM%3A" target="_blank">HERE</a> if you don't know what a lark's head knot is. Thread your big hole beads on the doubled leather strip. Use as many beads as you like! Then knot the leather below your final beads and trim to any length you like. Done! How easy was that!?<br />

<b>3. Convertible Necklace or Bracelet</b> - Here's another idea that is just <u>so simple</u> and yet popular and practical. My girls and I made bunches of these to give as gifts for their friends.<br />
<br />
What you'll need:<br />
- wide silk or synthetic ribbon<br />
- big hole lampwork bead (<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/jenagirlbeads?ref=hdr_shop_menu&section_id=20400765" target="_blank">Etsy store</a>)<br />
- scissors<br />
<br />
I found my ribbon at Michael's for 3.99 each, but I know they carry it at Hobby Lobby and JoAnn as well. If you want to go "high end", you can opt for the gorgeous, hand-dyed artisan silk ribbons on Etsy: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Jamnglass?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank">Here</a>, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Quintess?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank">Here</a>, or <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TextileGeisha?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank">Here</a> (among other places). Just keep in mind that it will increase your item's final price. Again, no kickbacks, just sellers whose artistry I admire.<br />
<br />
Simply thread your big hole bead on the ribbon. Wrap multiple times before tying and tucking loose ends under the back for a bracelet. Tie at the ends for a full length necklace or thread through twice for a choker-style necklace.<br />

<b>4. Leather or European charm-style Bracelet</b> - Probably my favorite of all the ideas I'm presenting here. Super quick - like 2 steps - and this style of jewelry is so very popular right now!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What you'll need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Leather bracelet or european charm bracelet</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- big hole lampwork bead (<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/jenagirlbeads?ref=hdr_shop_menu&section_id=20400765" target="_blank">Etsy store</a>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
My leather bracelet came from Hobby Lobby and cost me less than $2. (Regular price is $2.99 and I used a 40% off coupon!) They come in a choice of brown or black leather and have magnetic closures. Could NOT be easier! They don't have the european charm bracelet style at Hobby Lobby, but they do carry their own versions at both Michael's and JoAnn. I got one at Michael's, but I forgot to photograph it yesterday. I'll update this blog post as soon as I get a picture taken. Anyway, it ended up being around $4 with tax after I used a coupon. <br />
<br />
So what do you do? Take the bracelet out of the packaging. Add a bead or 2. Done!! Wrap that pretty thing up and cross another name off your list! <br />

<b>5. Build a Snowman Pendant</b> - This is the project that takes the most time and supplies, but it is still super-duper painless!<br />
<br />
What you'll need:<br />
- fine silver wire or 3 1/2" head pins<br />
- wire cutters, round nose pliers, chain nose pliers<br />
- necklace<br />
- small silver (or substitute your preference) beads (to use as spacers)<br />
- lampwork snowman bead set (<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/495619439/on-sale-build-a-snowman-lampwork-bead?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a>)<br />
<br />
<br />
Wire wrap snowman beads in order, largest at the bottom to smallest at the top. Use silver beads between the lentils as spacers. (Beads will twist and the pendant will not lay flat if you leave the spacing beads out.) Make sure you make the opening for the pendant wide enough to slip over the clasp of your pre-made necklace OR wire wrap directly onto necklace. Voila!<br />

So there ya go! Five super easy, inexpensive, yet AWESOME little gifties you can make in no time at all. And to make it all that much easier (and even LESS expensive), I have joined Etsy on Sale. From now until December 17th, items in my shop are now discounted 20% and you don't have to do anything! No codes to remember at checkout - nothing! Sales prices have already been applied. (No further discounts available on items already in my Sale section.)<br />
<br />
Go forth and create and have a GREAT time doing it!<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I got bitten by the European charm bracelet/necklace bug and Went. To. Town. making big hole beads this weekend! I actually made more than I have posted on Etsy, but there are only so many hours of sitting at the computer and editing photos that I can make myself do each day. I'll get to the rest of them later this week.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">These will make SUCH AWESOME PRESENTS!! Hobby Lobby has these great real leather wrap bracelets for $2.99 that these are PERFECT for! With my 40% off coupon, the brown leather bracelet cost me $1.90 (including tax!). I'm wearing mine and have been since I bought it on Friday. If they wear as well as I think they will, I know what I'm doing for Christmas/teacher presents this year - woot woot!!</span>Jenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13719108966392889465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120973452332411340.post-68784761998949187992016-11-08T12:50:00.000-05:002016-11-08T12:50:13.856-05:00New Focal Beads!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I just posted 10 new focal beads on Etsy today. Yes, I realize there are only 9 pictures, but there was an image loading snafu for Blogger this morning and I'm waaaaaaay too stressed out and busy to go back and figure out which bead got left out. Lol!</div>

I hope you all went and voted today. I did (did I mention already that I'm stressed out?!) and I took Elinor who turned 18 this year and is finally old enough to participate in the election process. Now I just need to avoid anything else political until we find out which ridiculous clown got elected. Ugh.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's a quick snap of 6 of the 11 bead sets I will be posting this week. The unfinished bead sets are almost done; they lack a few beady pieces each. I still have a few pairs of white hearts in two cases, missing spacers and disk beads in another, and three still need coordinating floral lentil beads. I worked with the Atlantis, Molokai, and Calypso colors this time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I'm done and have posted these to Etsy, I will stop for a bit and work on some custom beads (for a very patient lady - thank you!!) before moving on to making Cabana Boy sets.</span><br />

...On to the next bead offering! This time, I'm working in the Atlantis and Molokai color schemes. Hopefully I will have everything made and ready to post by this weekend - that's the goal at least. I just started going back to school yesterday, so I have to make sure I allow myself plenty of study time as well! :)Jenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13719108966392889465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120973452332411340.post-76178033219975650822016-10-07T12:29:00.000-04:002016-10-07T12:29:29.636-04:00Lily Mashup, Breathless, and Nantucket<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Okay, now I'm REALLY finished!

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I finally finished cleaning and stringing the 9 mixed strands I've been working on. Two of the strands are straight "Breathless" series - mostly black, white, and hot pink (with a tiny bit of green leaves and vine cane thrown in). The other seven strands are a mashup between the Lily (mostly green and<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> pink</span> with <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">white</span>) and Nantucket (mostly white and pink with some green) series with some Fleur encased florals (ALL hot pink - from the background to t<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">o the flowe<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">rs themselves!!) and </span></span>black accents added here and there to punch up the contrast. I'm thrilled to pieces with how everything turned out!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Photographing and listing the beads on Etsy will begin this afternoon. (Aside from actually making the beads, the taking and editing of pictures is the most time-consuming part of the entire process.) I anticipate having all nine sets listed by tomorrow lunchtime - sooner if I can possibly swing it! I'll send out a notice e-mail to those on my mailing list once they're all up and available.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In between finishing my custom orders, I've been making more beads for the 9 mixed strands I'll be adding to Etsy by this weekend. I still have to finish the encased florals and then make the accent beads and spacers <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">before</span> I'll be ready to photograph and list the bead sets. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Price points will be in the $55-70 dollar range, depending on the complexity of beads I decide to include.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I had a few hours after work but before my dinner company showed up, so I hopped on the torch and played for a while. I gave myself 2 restrictions: it had to be a Saturn bead and I could only use clear, black, white, pink, and green. I love how they turned out, so today I'm going to work on making more beads so I can create mixed strands for all these beauties!</span>Jenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13719108966392889465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120973452332411340.post-80750632946492043322016-09-28T13:20:00.000-04:002016-09-28T13:20:05.632-04:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Fruits of my labor over this past, very busy weekend! (I also made beads for some mini essential spacer sets, but didn't finish cleaning them yet.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And here I thought I'd be done playing "catch-up" with custom orders by midweek last week. Yeah, right - famous last words! I still have a bit more to go before I'm completely caught up. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I need to make another of these sets, the "Bed of Roses" set I sold on Etsy a few months ago. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And that's only if I can figure out what glass I used to make the focal bubble disk. I'm 80% sure it was a Double Helix glass and not a boro bead, but I wouldn't swear to it. Suffice it to say, there will much poking about in my glass stash, melting of glass, and perhaps even "colorful language" (if I'm being completely honest with myself) until I can cross this order off my list.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then, I have been asked to make these beads in red, yellow, and orange.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Which should be interesting, because I can't think of any glass colors I actually use less than red, yellow, and orange! (Last encased floral bead order pictured above not counted) The main reason for that is because they're just not easy glass colors to work with. Opaque red glass has a tendency to go livery (basically, it burns the color out and looks like a mucky, grey-ish brown) when overheated, and they ALL three look like the same color when they're hot, so it's very difficult to tell exactly where you've put which glass. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm feeling equal parts apprehensive and excited about pushing myself out of my comfort zone in even attempting to make those "hot star" beads. But even so, I think after the Bed of Roses remake, I'm going to take a few days to make some palette-cleansing beads. I haven't decided what yet, but with the just the slightest hint of leaves beginning to turn on the nearby trees, I'm starting to dream of cooler weather<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">. W</span>ith today forecast to be in the upper 80's, it's no su<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">rprise I'm excited <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">b</span>y the thought of things cool<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">ing down!</span></span></span> It's the weirdest thing, but I find myself wanting to make Christmas beads!</span><br />

Davis is such a cute, tiny monkey-boy. In this picture, he's still in elementary school, Elinor is in middle school, and Tilly had just started high school.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I spent the weekend making beads for a custom order that popped up. It's always fun to experiment with new things, but I do really enjoy the soothing repetition of making several sets of the same beads. And it adds a little excitement when the same things you've done for (seemingly) forever have new and unexpected issues - like carefully encased orange-cored beads all of a sudden developing incompatibility cracks. Yikes!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I should be ready to move on to new things by the middle of the week. But now I'm thinking I will continue building up my "Buy the Bead" inventory section on Etsy and take some time to work on my <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">shame</span>fully<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span>neglected website!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I spent some time this morning edit<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">ing</span> photos and getting some new beads posted on Etsy. Experimented with some pink starfish cane for one of the beachy "Beachcomber" beads and I ended up really liking it. I have an earring pair, a smaller focal bead, and a few ocean-themed big hole beads that will fit Pandora-style bracelets yet to photograph and publish. I'll try to get to those this afternoon after work.</span>Jenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13719108966392889465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120973452332411340.post-67893048787397767582016-09-11T11:10:00.002-04:002016-09-11T11:10:20.130-04:00Ocean Blossom Florals Now Available<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Back home again after our wonderful extended Labor Day break! I hopped on the torch yesterday and created quite a few beads: a few experimental beads, some more Tidepool focal beads, and this strand of Ocean Blossom encased floral beads. It felt wonderful to be back and playing with fire once again!</span>Jenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13719108966392889465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120973452332411340.post-13756633980593097712016-09-02T09:00:00.000-04:002016-09-02T09:00:30.957-04:00Have a Wonderful Weekend!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thought I would post some pictures of glorious fall colors while we go and enjoy summer's last hurrah. I will be taking the next few days off to spend with my family and enjoy this long Labor Day weekend. I will see you all again on Tuesday. Have fun and be safe!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I just added a new set to Etsy this morning. I adore the whole set, but I really, really like the floral bead! I think I'm going to make a bunch more of those and offer them for sale independently of the set.</span>Jenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13719108966392889465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120973452332411340.post-41497977487766673762016-08-29T08:24:00.000-04:002016-08-29T08:26:05.642-04:00Birthday Babies<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tilly turned 20 on Saturday and Davis' 15th birthday is today. In about a week, it will be my 44th birthday and then 2 weeks after that will be Elinor's 18th birthday. Fall is always a crazy busy time of year for us - but also crazy fun! </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I envy those people who have the ability to make emotional and meaningful commentary regarding the passage of time. I would love to wax lyrical about how much my life has been enriched by having my three precious children in it, but unfortunately, my "gifts" do not run in that direction. Instead, I try to live my life in such a way that they will never have a single day in which they were unaware of how much they mean to me.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I love you, my children, with all my heart, mind, and ability.</span></span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To steal a snippet from the poet, <b>Elizabeth Barrett Browning</b>:</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<pre><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace..."</span></span></pre>
