Tooele Holiday Boutique

I've signed up for the Tooele Holiday Boutique. The boutique will be at the Best Western in Tooele (next door to 7-11) on Nov. 20-21. I am only going to be there on Saturday November 21 from 9am-8pm. Tell everyone you know! Hopefully this will be better than the Helper Arts Festival!!!

I'm waiting to hear back from another arts and crafts fair here in Tooele that will be the first part of December. Stay tuned for more info on that.

New Watch Bands

About a month ago I got a new shipment of supplies and I've been able to have a lot of fun with them. I wish I had more time to work on this, but I guess I have something to look forward to during Thanksgiving and Christmas vacation! I think my favorites out of this bunch are the multi-colored and the pearl band. The mulit-colored goes with just about anything, and the pearl dresses anything up.

When I first started making the watch bands I didn't think I would wear them. But I'm absolutely loving them!

Re-Structuring

So, the arts festival was a flop! I'm pretty bummed about it, but after taking a couple weeks to think about my experience I've decided it was a good thing. At first I was pretty angry about the whole experience. The first thing I did when I got home from the festival was move all of my jewelry making things to the basement. I didn't want to look at the supplies that reminded me that I was a failure. I haven't gotten to the point where I can make something new, but I'm getting there.

Thanks to all my friends and family that have supported me so far. I'm sure I'll be up and at it again very soon. I'll keep you posted! Here are some pictures of my newest watch bands that I made before I went to the arts festival.

Earrings

Here are some earrings that I've been working on. I've been struggling with thinking of different styles of earrings that I can make.

Necklaces

Here are a few necklaces that I'm making to take to the arts festival. Most of these necklaces have stone pendents or are completely made of natural stone.

Help Art Festival

I've decided to get a booth at the Helper Arts Festival this year. It will be Friday August 14-Sunday August 16 in Helper, Utah. You can find out more information about the Helper Art Festival on its website http://www.helpercity.net/Arts%20Festival/website/index.html
