Phonography: November Part I

November was the month that I finally downloaded instagram to my iPhone.  Needless to say things got out of hand very quickly, so I divided this post into two parts...

 

Peonies returned to the wholesalers. Happy day, they are my favorites!

I participated in the "Girls Night Out" holiday show at a local gallery ARTichokes selling some of my jewels.

Basement renovations continue. I absolutely cannot wait to share the before and after with you guys!

The very, very last yellow rose from my garden.

Tried some new beer. I'm not gonna lie I mostly picked it because of the name (and I love Goose Island's brews).

Experimented with some fleurs.

Down to the Wire

Hello lovelies.  This weekend was cold (as you may well know), cozy, and productive.  I spent most of my time indoors working diligently for this Thursdays show.  I'm excited about what I've been making, although with all my other obligations I haven't gotten nearly as much done as I had hoped, but isn't that always the way it goes?  I'll be showcasing a few of my pieces in a fashion show with other talented Wedding Hive designers. Plus with this show being a wedding affair I'm going to be creating lots of flower arrangements to fill up my display table as well.

I hope to see you all there, I'll have some new wares for sale, but if you can't make it I'll have lots of visual treats for you post show.  

 

This piece can be described as nothing short of a labor of love.  I told Matt last night that I might have to keep it for myself, as I've put so much work into it.  Now I know why couture beading is so outrageously priced!

Happy Monday!
