Falling Short

When August had just begun, I said to myself, "Self... this year you are going to have a whole slew of new Halloween charms ready by September."  Unfortunately, I must have been distracted when I was telling myself this.  Its October 1st.  I've got nothing.  I have been completely involved in taking care of everything else that time slipped away from me so fast.  Considering the circumstances, I am going to cut myself a little slack though.  Its been a rough year.  I was still hoping to have something new and exciting for this year.  I do, but its only in my sketchbook.
So now, I think its a little late to really try and stock up.  I could attempt it, but I'm just not sure I could really catch up.  I'm afraid that I wont be able to do any shows before Halloween. I might just have to let it go this year and look into the following holiday seasons.  We'll see.

...  I started to write this on Saturday, but its Monday now ...


Today was a great day.  My Sweetheart and I went apple picking.  If there is one thing I have to do every year, its apple picking.  The weather today was gorgeous.  It was breezy, clear blue sky, no rain, 68 degrees beautiful.  We had cider and cinnamon doughnuts, and did some wine tasting.  Went home with a ton of apples and bunch of other things, including our 4 pound jar of honey.  Today was a great day.  :)

This week my goal is to focus.  So many things have been distracting me.  Too many things.  Whats worse is that even with so many distractions, I can't even get those things done.  I should make a list.  I should write out things I want to have taken care of by Friday this week.  Maybe I will do that tonight while I lay in bed.  Contemplate what needs to get done.  Its as if the tasks are piling up in my brain and causing lockup.

I hope to have some pictures soon.  If I can get my act together.  :)  Keep your fingers crossed.

Top Secret

I have been slowly, but surely, working on a top secret design. I haven't told anyone about it yet.... Its running a little behind though, which is a bummer because time is almost up for the year on this one. I got sick last Friday and its been slowing me down. I did manage to finish a special order present for a friend of mine right before I got really sick. But now though, I am so tired of my nose being stuffed up!

I have quite a few prepped to be finished, but I may only have a few done before its too late. If not all, a few finished would be great. Fingers crossed people! Be ready, I should [with some luck] have pictures soon!

Finished Earrings

Well, the earrings are done. They look real cute too! The perfect accessory for the rest of October and any Halloween party you may be attending. These little guys are hopefully going to be available at my local comic book shop and possibly available in the Artfire shop as well. If you are interested now though and can't wait to see what happens, feel free to throw me a message! (first come first serve)



Skulls!!
(2 pair available)



Jack-o-Lanterns!!
(1 set available)



Pumpkins!!
(2 pairs available)

Each set cost $22 dollars. They are individually hand formed, and painted. They are also made with sterling silver plated earrings. I have a nickle allergy, and my ears have always been super sensitive, but I haven't had any problem with my set. The pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns glow in the dark! Also I discovered that the pumpkins with just the eyes are black light sensitive!

Halloween Charms

Fall is here and that means Halloween is coming.
I have created some charms that are now for sale in the shop.

There were a few different designs available besides whats listed, but they sold at the fall fair on Saturday. There were Bats and Frankensteins. There will be more next year :)

Check out whats left at the shop!
