Who knew that a box of sugar cubes could provide an hour of entertainment! My shipping helper (okay, she did nothing but chat with me) did a great job this morning and I have all the boxes ready to mail! The feedback on the Valentine Heirloom bracelet was great. This makes me quite happy because I have lots of ideas in my mind for that style! Okay, heading out to the post office, have a great day!

Just got ‘em all listed! Click on over to www.dudamart.com to take a peek! Have a fabulous Tuesday!!

Stay tuned… I’ll have new goodies in the Mart tomorrow around 11:30…

I’m adding this one too!

Did you see this in the Mart? Well I’m adding it to my little Year of Jewelry challenge. I’m so into these flowers!! I’ll have more next week. TGIF!!

I pulled these out of my jewelry archive. These use the button-style beads that I just listed in the mart. I used to have a tutorial somewhere… hmmm… They actually go pretty fast, I’m making one like this for the mart next week so if they look like they’d be fun to wear (and they are!) sty tuned!

Okay, got the beads up… now I’m working on photos of bracelets that I have made using those button-style beads. I know, they are different, but they are VERY fun to work with!!

I’ve decided that I want to have my own year of jewelry. No themes, just an attempt to make 52 pieces (or more, hey I can be optimistic) this year. I like looking back and seeing finished pieces, and I *think* you like stopping by and seeing finished pieces. Some will be crazy, some will be simple, some will show up in the Mart, some won’t… but that is my plan. So at least once a week look for some jewelry here! (Now I just need to make a page to display what I have done so far… ) Of course tomorrow you can stop by looking for my latest bead goodies AND jewelry…

Here are a few pics from my necklace class with Stephanie. Seeing all of her work up close and personal is just so inspiring! I really enjoyed making the necklace and I already have a few ideas for my next one.
