Where did the time go?

I remember a month or more ago starting my summer vacation and making promises to myself that I would post on this blog more often. It did not happen. I have managed to fill my time with other more important (and less important) activities and ignored my blog. I couldn't even remember my password to log in! Hopefully, I will remember the new one I just created.

So, now that I am feeling justifiably guilty, here I am ready to make up for lost time.

My latest designs incorporate my own lampwork beads. In the past I have created and sold a few items with beads that I made, but this is the first time I have crafted many items from my own beads. And, I have already sold one of them on Etsy! Yay! I enjoy creating these colorful, attractive necklaces with sterling or Bali silver and a variety of Czech fire polish or seed beads. They are simple but keep the focus on the lampwork focal. With a chain extender, they measure between 16 and 18 inches. Check out some of them in my Etsy mini.
