And now my version, that my daughter has already claimed and taken custody of:

I love it when other people like my jewelry.  Sometimes, I worry that even though I like it, no on else will. Anybody else feel that way?  That you like it just cause you made it?

Earring Holder

I have seen some pretty earring holder's on pinterest.  Like this one:

I had a cute white picture frame I had found at Goodwill for this project for about $0.49.  While at Target looking around, I found these really cute place mats for $1.00.  So, my version of this cost $1.49.  Ready to see it?

So what do you think?  

And how about one horrible night shot of the holder in use?

No, those are not all of my earrings.  I currently have my holiday earring separate, waiting on me to make a hold just for them.

Just a small note, my mom has been sick, and my work hours are varying slightly.  My posting may be even more sporadic than normal but I do have some cute earring to share.

Hanging Earring's

I have a trick I recently learn on how to hang earring off of business cards.   I would love to buy and use the easy earring card hole punch, but can not currently afford the $58!  I have found a simple way to hang and display different types of earrings.  

I bought these punches from Hobby Lobby.  They are priced $9.99 (for all 3) normally, I used a 40% off coupon to save a little bit.  I bought it for the single dot punch (the middle one).

Today I was finishing a pair of earrings on kidney wires for a gift, with no way to display/store them for shipping.  Light bulb minute, I thought maybe the ribbon slider punch (it looks like 2 lines) would work.  It did!

Not the best of pictures, but I hope you can see how it worked.

Earrings, Earrings, and a Bracelet

Some earrings:

For the Daughter:

What do you think of the new background?  I like it better than the plain white, so will have to see how it works.

Edited: I forgot the bracelet!

that goes with these earrings!

More Earrings

I have been busy the last 2 days.  Here are some earring I have made:

Plus one more pair, I will share after I complete the matching bracelet and maybe necklace.  They are a gift, so will see how it falls together.

E's Gift for a friend

So my niece and sister were talking about the 3 birthday parties they have to attend this weekend.  One of the parties is for a friend of E.  However, she wasn't sure what she was going to get her.  I made her a necklace and zipper pull to give as her gift.  The pictures will not be the best, as it is yucky outside, and almost dark by the time I finished them.

Hope she like them,  and off to make more, as Daughter B wants one!

Have a good weekend, and do not forget to Spring Forward tonite!
