Random Monday

So I spent the weekend shopping for supplies on at Etsy, perusing through my wire jewelry magazine and spending time at my local beads store. I have decided buy stamping tools to make engraved jewelry. There are Etsy shops that have really great deals on the supplies. At my local bead store, I got very large focal pieces of dyed agates to make big and chunky necklaces. I have been inspired.

I am really tempted to keep the bracelet that I have featured as the item of the week this week. It came out just as I envisioned. I already know the outfit that it will look great with, so I am going to hold out posting it on my Etsy shop. However, if anyone is interested purchasing the bracelet, just drop me a line at fabulouschicdesigns@yahoo.com and I can can make a custom one for you.

I have been neglecting my Artfire shop, so what I decided to do is reinvent my Artfire shop. My new business cards don't even have my Artfire web address :( My plan is to have my Etsy Shop feature my wire jewelry and my Artfire shop have my beaded jewelry and promote it accordingly. So over the next few weeks I am going to work on dynamic beaded pieces for my Artfire shop. When it is ready, I will have a Grand Re-opening Sale at my Artfire Shop. Any colors or specific styles of jewelry you would like to see in my Grand Re-opening?

So how about this random Monday, it was truly random. Covered three topics in one post.

Random Monday on Tuesday?

Sorry all for the very late Monday post. The last few days have been so busy. However, this weekend my in laws threw my hubby and me a barbecue to celebrate our recent nuptials. At first, I was a little worried because all the guests were people from the church that my husband grew up in but we haven't visited since we started dating, so I didn't know any of the guests. However it was a lot of fun and everyone was so giving. So I'm thinking, off to Ikea, we need a matching bedroom set. We have a mix match set, my old night stand and my dresser and my husband's old bed, dresser and nightstand that he had since college. It is time for an update, especially since I am embarrassed to say we are sleeping in a full size bed L

This is a very random post because now I am going to discuss a very different topic. Yesterday morning, as I was walking my dogs and where I have my very in depth thoughts such as what am I going to wear to work today, jewelry pieces, what I want to make for the item of the week, you know life altering decisions ;)
As I’m thinking of my pieces, I have these great ideas for jewelry pieces but can’t find the materials that I need to create the pieces. I am getting a little frustrated. I feel that my last few pieces are getting redundant. Don’t get me wrong, I love the pieces that I made and are all jewelry pieces that I wear, but I feel I am limited based on the materials that I have. So over the next few weeks I will be researching new online and local bead stores. What I am looking for are sterling silver and copper findings and charms, so if you know any online stores or Etsy shops that have unique and cool charms, findings, gemstones and/or beads please forward my way. I will also spend my Saturdays visiting local beads stores. Wish me luck!

I am also thinking about getting engraving stamps to make personalize jewelry. I will let you know if I decide to get it.

Two Dollar Tuesday Postponed :(

Two Dollar Tuesday will be postponed until Friday :( However, this extra time will allow me to create really fun jewelry pieces for Friday. :)
