Online Selling

I've been wanting to open an online store for quite awhile, but I'm not quite sure on which website. Do you have any recommendations? I'm thinking Etsy but if you have a different site that you like better please let me know. Thanks Ladies :)

Orange :)

Orange is a very neglected color in my jewelry making so I decided to use it in a couple necklaces :) I really like how the chain looks :)

All the lampwork beads were done by Nell Stanley (click her name to be taken to her artfire) :)

My First Hollow Bead

I made my first hollow bead! A hollow bead is were  you make two disks side by side, and as you build them up they fold in onto each other making a hollow bead. The color glass I used changes in different lighting how cool is that!? I think it's Moretti dark transparent lavender.

I really like it when it's purple! :) I might stuff it with seed beads, and make it into a pendant :)

Maggie Monday

Can you believe I almost forgot to do a "Maggie Monday"! Ok let's see what happened this last week with Maggie? She's been doing this really cute thing like when I take her to the bathroom after she does her business she jumps like a foot away from that spot then wipes her feet like a kitty cat lol. It's the cutest thing you've ever seen ^_^. In the mornings when I take her out after she's been sleeping she stretches out her front legs, and sticks her booty in the air lol ^_^. So adorable! I always thought that when I got a puppy I would dress it up in cute clothes, but if you put clothes on Maggie she just stands there all defiant and grouchy, and will not move until you take the clothes off of her lol. I really don't blame her though because she doesn't look so cute in clothes since it smooches down all of her hair. I could go on forever about Maggie, but then I wouldn't have anything to share for future Maggie Monday's.

Untill Next Week
Be kind to animals,

My Glass Order Came in!

My glass came in on Monday like planed! I love getting new colors to play around with! I order my glass from http://www.morettiandmore.com/ because they have their site set up so you can buy by the rod if you want which is amazing especially if you want to try out a color before committing to buying a 1/4 pound of it. Take a look at the goodies I got :) (around 10 pounds of glass!)

If you want to know the name of a color just ask, and I'll try my very best to help you out.

Maggie Monday

Today is the start of a new series on my blog called Maggie Monday! Maggie Monday is just a post where I update you on everything new or exciting about Maggie. If you don't know who Maggie is check out the picture below :)

Today Maggie went to the vet for her yearly checkup. For a normal dog this would be no problem, but for Maggie it's like torture. For one Maggie is afraid of riding in cars which is due to the long five hour ride we had to take to get her when she was a puppy. She actually did pretty well today though. That was a surprise because she also had a bath today which she doesn't care for. She also has to be blown dry because she's so tiny she'll catch a cold if she stays wet. The vet kept having to get smaller instruments for her lol. (ie. to weigh her, to trim her nails, to give her shots, and to take a fecal sample lol.) The vet gave her an all clear check up :) They also suggested we get her spayed since she's so tiny it would be in her best interest. Let's me know if your pet's are spayed or neutered, and if it had any affect on them or if there were any complications. I hope you enjoyed the first instalment of "Maggie Monday".

Until next time, Happy Beading,
Jessica and Maggie
