Hello to all! It has been a very busy weekend thus far. We are in the process of painting our living room and dining area. A fresh coat of paint goes a looooonnnnnngggg way! Since moving to where we live, we have been "okay" with the drab off-white color. But after a few years, it grows on you, but in a blah way. My brother-in-law came this week and started the ball rolling. We painted the living room a very pretty pastel baby blue that changes colors. By that I mean that during the day it looks one way, in the afternoon another way and in the evening another. Strange, but good. We painted the dining area a brown that looks like chocolate milk. It compliments the blue so nicely. Over all its coming along great.
I am not posting any new creations today because, as you guessed it, I'm beat. LOL! But I promise that I will post new creations either tomorrow or Monday.
Thanks to all that are a fan to my page and I look forward in sharing more in the next few days!
Good night!!

Design a Day- Day 3 and 4
Day 3
Crystals & Ribbons Set- This wonderful set consists of a pair of earrings and a necklace that are made with black ribbons, black and white crystals. This set is very pretty if you want have a elegant evening out on the town.
This set was inspired by my love of black. When I was a teenager all I would wear was dark colors and black was on the top of my list. But as I got older, the world was not just black and white, but full of color. But black remained as one of my key colors. It goes with everything, right!?
This set is not just black, but it sparkles and it has such a delicate look to it. I loved putting it together and I hope you like it too.
Day 4
Burst of Orange and Brown Tones- this set consists of earrings with a matching necklace. A mixture of dark orange and brown resin beads with silver tone round beads.
Length of earrings with hook is 2 inches long and length of necklace is 24 inches round. Beads on necklace are free and can be worn w/ closure in the front, the back or side- whatever your mood is.
This set was inspired by my love of coffee....coffee? Yes coffee. the colors of the beads with the mixture of the silver tone beads just reminded me of a great satisfying cup of coffee I would get at Starbucks. Coffee is such a pick me up that it makes me feel free and ready to conquer my day. I hope this set will inspire you to feel that way too.

Lola's Glimmering Eyes Collection
Collection consists of matching earrings, necklace and bracelet.
This set was inspired by what Joyce from Baby's Breath Handmade asked me to make for her. She emailed me a picture of what Sarah Jessica Parker wore in one of the movies she came out in not too long ago. I said to her, "Sure, no problem! I can do it for you..." Well the necklace alone is brilliant, but I felt that I needed to make more. So I made the matching earrings and Kata made the matching bracelet. Presto! Lola's Glimmering Eyes Collection came to life. The reason why I chose to entitle this collection Lola's Glimmering Eyes is because Joyce's little girl has such beautiful eyes that they glimmer when she smiles. I loved and enjoyed put this collection together for Joyce and I hope you do too!
Earrings are made with two 10 mm crystal clear rondelles and silver tone chain.
Length of earrings are about 1.75 to 2 inches long
The necklace is made with 8 crystal clear rondelles- sizes (4) 8mm and (4) 10mm. Length of necklace is 16 inches round. The bracelet is made with both crystal clear rondelles and crystal clear glass beads- measures about 7.75 inches round.
Perfect to wear if you're going out casual or in the evening.

Design a Day- March 1st and 2nd
It was very exciting to finally start the "Design a Day" for the month of March. My first piece called "Big, Bold and Blue" .
After looking at many different magazines for the upcoming Spring season, big and bold is the "in" thing. When I was shopping for beads and these beads really stood out to me. They were big, blue and bold. Perfect for Spring (or any season I say). I thought that these would make a wonderful pair of earrings.
Kata loved the color too because she loves blue! LOL!
I hope you enjoy my newest creation for Day 1:
Day 2- Design a Day for March 2011
This design "Blue and Purple Earrings and Necklace Set" was created after having some grapes one day. I loved grapes- especially the green kind, since the purple one give me an allergic reaction. :( The color beads I had reminded me of the purple grapes that I cannot have, so I decided to make a set of what I can't have. I mixed blue resin beads and purple resin beads to make this beautiful set. I used gunmetal pins to give it a nice smokey feel. I loved how it came out and I hope you do too!

"Where Silverware Meets Personality" by Seth and Michelle King
"Where Silverware Meets Personality" Huh? That's what I thought at first when I read the business card, but upon viewing what was on MK...kreations vendor table it clicked why they quoted that.
While shopping with my family at our local mall, MK...Kreations vendor table caught my curious eye. I started looking at their very unique pieces and for a moment they looked very familiar..."Could this be silverware?" I thought....then Kata said to me, "Mommy, look....spoons as earrings and an octopus pendant...." Yup it was spoons and forks handcrafted into beautiful and unique jewelry pieces. I saw bracelets, earrings, pendants, rings, key chains, necklaces and much, much more...here...check out the pictures I was able to take with my blackberry below...
I briefly spoke with Michelle and I expressed how beautiful their unique pieces were. She told me that they just started posting on Etsy and not all their pieces are there. I told her that I have a blog and that I would definitely be posting this on my blog tonight.... and here it is..... the pictures doesn't do justice to actually seeing this beautiful shiny pieces in person.
Please visit their Etsy shop to see more of their unique "kreations" for yourself. You will be totally blown away and you will definitely see your silverware in a different light. I sure am!
