A new Tutorial

I have a new little tutorial available for sale here!  Check it out! These little Golem Studio lentil links are crafted in a way that you don't need wire!  Sometimes I am really in  no mood to fight with wire so I  developed this fun little technique and I'm sharing it with you in this affordable PDF tutorial with step by step photos for only $4.99!

And the Winner is.....

Sorry this is 25 minutes late! I got into making a tutorial and got completely distracted!!
Lucy Bejarano is our lucky winner today!

Hollowlogy Big Bead Giveaway

Who is ready for another bead giveaway!?
I recently discovered a bead artist from across the seas in Israel. She creates the most amazing and colorful hollow polymer clay beads on the planet and was kind enough to agree when I approached her about donating beads for a blog giveaway!
Her shop is called Hollowlogy. And you'll be surprised at how fast you'll fallin love with every listing. The cool thing is, Orly is always coming up with newand creative designs, so her shop is always changing and is always fresh!



Orly has sent a set of 6 coordinating beads in this beautiful plum, burgundy, orange and Gold  color palette.  The winner of this giveaway will win all 6 beads shown here! (and a nice big needle for stringing help) Since the beads are hollow, they can be tricky to string on beading wire, and the needle she includes is extremely helpful!


I love the patchwork and flower patterns on this set and can't wait to order a set of my own!

To enter this giveaway, please leave a comment on this post and tell me which set in Orly's shop that you like best, and why!  I will pick 1 random winner for this bead set, tomorrow morning at 8am!

Good luck to everyone!

And thank you Orly for your generous donation!

Last Chance

Setting up for my Open House jewelry sale tomorrow! I have this unsettling feeling that no one is going to show up so to distract myself I am throwing myself into decorating and will just try to keep my mind off of that thought.

Setting everything up in the dining room/ living room. Last year I set up in the back family room and had the food in the dining room but I like it better when everything is all in one spot. So above you see the panoramic view of the whole room. Gotta love that iPhone option!

I even set up a little check out station using my old Sewing machine table.  I like the set up. I am trying my best to keep the cats away from it. They are finally napping so we should be good for the rest of the afternoon. Tonight, overnight, is another issue.  Won't be putting out the jewelry til tomorrow so at least they won't break anything that I want to sell.

If you are in the area, please please stop by even if it's just to say Hi!  Otherwise poor Joe will have stoked the fire in that fireplace for nothing!

P.S.

Wine will be served.
and Vodka if that's your cup o' tea.

P.S.S.

Both of my online stores will be closed this evening for the weekend so if you had your eye on something, now is the time to snag it!

Open House prep

Busy busy around here getting ready for my holiday open house this weekend. I am just "decking the halls" with some nice Thanksgiving decor.

I printed up these letters on 5 x 7 photo paper, punched holes and created this handmade bunting for my fireplace. Love how it turned out!



And then decorated the mantel will some fall leaves, lights, pumpkins, and fall inspired prints from Cathy Nichols.

Store Closing: Update tonight: DAISYCHAIN EXTRA

There will only be one or two more updates to get rid of her current stock.
Be sure to stop by her store update today - 7pm GST or 3pm EDT
