Figured out some stuff about the website and managed to list a bunch of stuff. Birds, flowers, US states. I'm pleased and its worth having a look at. 

Just got notice that I was turned down for the Valentines show I wanted. I had made a bunch of nice Valentines earrings for the day, but now I'll just put them in regular stock. It doesn't look like I'll be in a show until March 14th in Strongsville and March 21st in Rocky River. 

Merry Christmas everyone. It's a slow time in the bead biz, now that the Christmas sales are over. I haven't made many post earrings, and often customers ask for them. So I'm using the slow time to make some. Here's a photo of a few. 

I haven't had any crosses in my inventory, but I saw some on You Tube and made these. They look a little dressy, and aren't your little gold cross, but I like them. I have some earrings and a nice long necklace with black herringbone beads

I've made a bunch of inexpensive post earrings in the flags of countries. I've got Ireland, Italy, France and a bunch of Scandinavian countries. I've just added the ones in the photo -- Germany, Hungary, Catalonia and the US. They're a bunch of fun. The Catolonian flag has long red stripes said to commemorate someone running his bloody fingers down a gold shield during the time of Wilfred the Hairy. I don't make this up.  

I've been asked to do watch Bands for Apple watches. I'm reluctant because they come in varying sizes and a sample is not likely to be sold. What I have made are these little bands that go around the watch band. I've got them in two sizes, 22mm and 17 mm and several designs and colors.
