Insanely Busy!

I want to be 10 again so I can have a fun summer full of doing NOTHING! The kids have been out of school for 2 weeks and it seems like 2 years! With Day Camps, Tee Ball Games, VBS and the constant whine of "I'm bored" I have no idea how I manage to get anything done... oh wait sure i do... I quit cleaning my house!!!

So in all the insanity I wanted to take a little moment to show off a piece that I made for my friend Angie's LAST birthday. (And by "last" I mean the one a week ago... she claims it will be her last... whatever)

5 strands of crimson and blue glass with a little clear for sparkle. 2 removable rings with the words "Football" & "Basketball" to symbolize the phenomenal year that the Jayhawks have had. I have to thank her husband Dan for giving me total freedom on this project, I love the end result!

So... with all of the insanity in my life lately you would think I would be neglecting my work... oh so wrong! Last night I sat down and created 3 new pieces so keep checking back.... I found my inner cowgirl once again! (Damn I thought I ran her off)

Until next time~
Peace, Love and ROCKCHALK

Football Time!!!

Although I don't follow college football as much as one of my dearest friends I sure do know how you can sport your team!

Not long ago i introduced ya'll to a fabulous artist on Etsy.com named Rachel of Analiese Designs. The great University Mascot pendants featured are once again from her talented hands! The best thing, she can do just about anything your little heart desires. So if you have an image in mind just drop me a line and we can get it all worked out!

Rock Chalk Jayhawk GO KU!!! Beautiful Crimson and Blue! This necklace features red and blue fossil beads and accented by sterling silver and red swarovski crystals. Corky!!! My kids adore Mr Corky ever since Emporia started doing the "Corky on Parade" around town. Again wire wrapped style (this is super durable for rowdy tailgate parties) Faceted black glass beads and ESU gold fiberoptic beads. Think there is even a little onyx thrown in for good measure. All finished off with a sterling silver toggle clasp.

And lastly the Powercat from KSU. It pains me to have so much purple around me but I guess not nearly as bad as if I made a Pit State Gorilla.... LOL.. OK so seriously.. I guess I could if the price were right. Heck I'd even make a Dallas Cowboys necklace if the price were right (of course I'd have to be disinfected afterward! I can already hear the sighs and growls now)

Not that it means anything but this particular necklace is already sold and on its way to a dear friend of mine in Kansas City.

I have so many new pieces to share... just no time to even get them photographed it seems. I promise to work on that today if the clouds stay at bay this afternoon.
