Fancy Pants!

Look at me go.... I'm blogging like a big girl!!

I've been busy busy busy lately, between shopping for the holidays and a show every weekend for the past 6 weeks then trying to get my creative juices going while my body is saying TAKE A NAP ALREADY!

You've heard me yap on about Analiese Designs on Etsy and her fabulous pendants... well here are some more of her beauties on my creations.

"Meadow" is a beautiful necklace featuring Ocean Jasper, Sterling Silver and the sweetest of pendants from Analiese Designs.

"Midnight Cowgirl" is another of my fun and sassy Cowgirl Pinup pieces. She's just about as hot as they get with her guns drawn and kicked back on the fence. I dare any double crossin, no good hussy to cross her path!

This is "Valley", so sweet and kind... you hope! This necklace has just about everything strung up on it, turquoise, jade, coral, quartz and sterling... you name it! A totally fun and funky piece to dress up your day!

I have another completed but it deserves its very own post... I'll leave you with a little teaser though.... ROCK CHALK!!!! Oh yeah.. you know it!

One more show has been added to this years schedule as well, this Saturday November, 24th from 9am-4pm in Osage City, Kansas for the Christmas Opener! Sounds like a nice festive celebration in a sweet little Kansas town. Come say hi!

Until next time~

Peace, Love and TURKEY!

Quickie!

Hey a "quickie" is better than nothing!

Here's a little sneak peek at what I've got to work on this coming week or two.

More beautiful-ness from the ever talented Etsy goddess Analiese:
I cant wait to work with these great pendants~! This has to be a favorite of mine for sure:

I am also working on a beautiful set of brown pearl and crystal necklaces and earrings for another fabulous Kansas City bride! My KC girls are just awesome and have some fabulous taste!

Well... I'm up to my ears in jewels and beads so i better get to working!

Next "live" performance (he he he) will be in Madison, Kansas on October 27th. Catch me there!

Until next time....

Peace, Love and Hot sauce

Pendant-a-licious!

Wow, I'm slow at this. Cant believe its been more than 2 weeks. I'm so ready for school to start back up so I can get the kids back into a good routine and maybe have a little time for myself and my jewelry again.


In my last entry I mentioned some fabulous pendants that I picked up from http://www.analiese.etsy.com/ and a hint to what I was working on for some birthday gifts. Well, here you go!


For my baby sister, the beautiful dragonfly necklace. I had such a fun time with this one, wire wrapped links with Picasso jasper and glass beads all tied together by the beautiful colors of the fimo clay dragonfly pendant by Analiese Designs. Hopefully I can get some pictures of sister modeling it while she's back this next week. YEA!!!!

I managed to get all worked up and not get pictures of Jessica's Pinup girl necklace... go figure! This is the pendant that I used, again from Analiese Designs. The necklace was wire wrapped links with faceted black glass beads and Swarovski crystal pearls. The turn out was simply elegant yet funky and fun. I better get pictures of this quick!

And last but not least... I couldn't resist, I made one for myself! "Betsy" is just adorable. Who cant resist a hot cowgirl, on a fence with her fancy red boots?
Again, wire wrapped sections with large red fossil beads, crystal accents and sterling silver. Even had fun and used a "stirrup" toggle clasp to keep with the cowgirl theme.

(excuse the poor photo quality, it was dark when I finished and had to use artificial light... ick))

So there you go... the latest from TPJ. I really love these pendants and hope to do more with Analiese Designs in the future. With that being said she can turn just about any picture into a beautiful pendant, so if you have something in mind and would love to have a necklace just let me know and we can get to work on it.



Next week is super busy for me but I hope to have a little time to work on new pieces and keep an eye out for new items in my Etsy.com store.



Until next time

XOXO
