Knitting Again, Silk Bamboo yarn LOVE IT

I'll have more in other colors and styles soon. I'm "hooked" on the yarn...

Lovin' Statement Necklaces! (and repurposed vintage jewelry)

My latest creative endeavor (jewelry-wise) is using old blingy jewelry pieces, vintage earrings, brooches and the like, and recycling them into gorgeous NEW pieces, esp. statement necklaces, and statement cocktail rings. And I am especially fond of pieces with rhinestones!

I used one of a pair of old earrings to make this piece.








THEN, I came across this piece in a magazine, which was apparently in an episode of the TV show Lipstick Jungle!

I swear I never saw it before I made my piece. Not bad I think! Go to my shop and check it out, and more like this.

Fiona Paxton, LOVE her designs. Drew Barrymore, Isla Fisher do too!

Really I do. I cannot remember how I stumbled upon her pieces, but I covet them!

Drew Barrymore loves them too.

If I could figure out how to duplicate one, I would!

Check out her website for more gorgeousness.

Knitting for a Great Cause

I am still designing jewelry for shows and my website, but I also knit and crochet. My favorite charity for knitted and crochet items is Afghans for Afghans. Here's some info for you to check out. I personally am working on a blanket, in a lovely blue denim colored wool. Hopefully I'll get a picture up soon! In the meantime, check out their site!
