I WORKED!!!!

Believe it or not I actually sat down and did some work last night! Granted last night turned into the wee hours of this morning but I like 1am when I'm on a roll!!!

Here are a few new things..........

"Calamity" is a spicy thing I tell ya~! Gorgeous coral cross with tiger eye accents and just enough sterling silver to keep it all shiny! I'm lovin this one!!! Looks great layered.



"Isabella" is cool and ready for summer. This Aventurine pendant is a real stunner. These colors are just in time to cool you down!


Honestly these match "Isabella"... but when you're shooting at 6:50am... the light isn't the best on the porch! LOL They are a beautiful aventurine drop earring with sterling and Bali silver accents. Gotta cool the ears too!


And since the "Through Hoops" earrings have been so popular i made another version. These are a bit smaller and a little more "dainty" but still have that jingle jangle gypsy vibe to them! Even you short haired gals can sport these!!! They have yet to get named but its coming to me... I just know it! LOL

Well... there is the fruits of my night.... I'm spent!

Until next time~

Peace, Love and crayons! ((my daughter is coloring))

Oh one more thing.......

I'm in LOVE... yes L-O-V-E... with these boots!


Time to start saving pennies!!!



Ok... I know this doesn't count for being a good blogger but hey... I'm tryin!

~*~Michele

New DIGS!

I think I'm a broken record here... every blog starts the same way. I NEGLECT THIS THING something fierce I know! Even Kelley is kickin my rear with the blogging! Ugh... I must make up for it!

So, whats been keeping me... well let me tell you!

I've finally finished my Small Business Owners course at FHTC and its been a relief to have 8+ hours a week back to me. HOWEVER it ended just in time for spring to pick up, mothers day to be looming and for my kiddos and I to MOVE into our new house! Ok so not brand spankin' new but new to us and long awaited!

Since I've not been designing much for new jewelry lately I thought I'd take this time to show off what i have been dreaming up. The new house furnishings!


First off.... MY bedroom. A room that will be all about me. A funky mix of wild and mild. ((I know, some of you want to know where my "mild" is but you all know its there.... somewhere))




We're going ZEBRA on the bed and RED accents!

How fun is that! The walls are very taupe now but I will be jazzing that up!










I found a hot zebra print metal star too but since its not gracing the walls yet and I don't have a picture just use your imagination already... ok here is a copper one like it but mine has rustic zebra print in it.






Then for the walls.... my Pinup Girls!!! I love them in all their glory!




I still need to work on window treatments but that's coming I'm sure!

We're just ready to get in, get unpacked and stretch out. You better be sure to call before you stop by because we'll likely be lounging around in our unmentionables for the first week or too! Whooo hooooo!!!!

I'll update you on the kids' rooms soon! They're fun!!!

So, until next time (which better be sooner than later)

Peace, Love and Zebra Stripes

XOXO

Artist Walk TOMORROW!

Talk about falling into something awesome! Last night in my final night of class we were so lucky to have speakers from the great city of Emporia... and low and behold Kayla Oney from Emporia Main Street was there and mentioned the "Artist Walk" that is happening downtown tomorrow. Of course that had me intrigued and... well... now TPJ will be a part of it!

Just spoke with Kayla and my sponsor is Dryers Shoes! 520 Commercial. I know how insane is that?? Me and a shoe store go together like peanut butter and jelly!!! I just hope that I don't spend all my money on shoes.... oh who am i kidding... i would love to!!!

So... come down and visit, see whats new and keep in mind that Mothers Day is sneaking up on us!

Where: Beautiful Downtown Emporia Kansas!

When: 10am- 4pm

Throw on your walking shoes... grab a coffee at The Granada Coffee Company, a bite of amazing chocolate at The Sweet Granada and browse all the fantastic downtown businesses.

Until next time~

Peace, Love and sunny skies~
