Busy Creating

Wow this holiday season has been busy so far. After Thanksgiving, we went out to get our tree and we did all our christmas decorating. Last weekend we had our 13th annual christmas party, which is a weeks worth of creating. Making all our own food and desserts. We tried some new recipes this year. Chicken liver pate dip and Buffalo chicken wing dip were a couple of the favorite.

Also, I have been working on some jewelry designs and filling christmas orders.

Here are some of new items I made

I made this sweet little charm necklace for a friend...she is going to give it to a special friend of hers.

Broken Promises

I said I would take some pictures at my class today, but I got so caught up in the process that I totally forgot. The class was super, I made two fine silver rings. They are a little rustic, but once I get them shined up I will post a picture.

By the way only TWO more spots left in my giveaway. I hope I can give my earrings away this week!!

Happy Sunday! Many of you have time off this week, so get creative, whether you cook something new or start making Christmas gifts. I would love to show off your creativity. Send me a picture and tell me what you are working on!!

Only four spots left for my giveaway!! I want to give those earrings away this week!!! "Flying through Hoops"

During this past week I have been working hard...jewelry making and knitting. I have always loved vintage looking jewelry and was inspired by all the long necklace I have been seeing. Take a peek at this necklace. It is made of vintaj brass chain, champagne colored fresh water pearls and clear crystals. It is really fun to wear.

I will have this posted in my etsy shop today.

Today I going to a PMC (precious metal clay) class and I am going to learn to make rings. I am going to take my camera, so I hope to take some picture of creativity in action!! Hopefully, I will have a couple rings to post this week.

Get inspired and do something creativity today...let it feed your soul!

Creativity 365

I have been work on several different things this week. I made this really cool bracelet from buttons that I got from a crafter over the past weekend. Knitting during downtime. I have also been working on a long triple strand vintage necklace. Hopefully I can post it later this week. I have been using more and more vintaj supplies in my designs. I love the warm brass. Check out their website and blog at http://vintaj.com.

There are so many creative people out there...I hope you consider buying handmade when you do your christmas shopping. Get a cup of tea and cuddle up on your couch with your computer and SHOP. No need to fight the crowds. Of course check out my jewelry at http://bwillydesigns.etsy.com and search other treats such as: hand knitted scarves instead of buy the mass produced ones at the mall from other sellers on etsy.

Be creative your self and make some of you x-mas gifts this year. Really...people always need potholders. hee hee

If you are making you x-mas gift...tell me what your making. Let's share it with the world and inspire creativity!!

Creativity 365 Busy Weekend

I started the weekend gathering inspiration at the Bay Area Extravaganza. Now, I promised to take pictures, but I forgot because I was totally engrossed in all the fabulous artist!! I found so many treasures and new techniques. I could have spent the whole day!

Peter and I went to our friends Theresa and Eric for dinner. It was a special treat created by Theresa and another friend Lida that was inspired by Julie-Julia. They made Bouef Boriunginon. It was a labor of love...a whole afternoon of cooking

Today, I got early and was excited to try this new kit. It uses Wire Mesh that can be manipulated in many ways. I has handmade glass bead and colored wire mesh...it is very cool I can't wait to wear it. I will also have two post on http://bwillydesigns.etsy.com in different colors.

I also made "flying free" necklace. it is one of my favorites

...it was a special order. I won't be posting it, but if you would like one let me know and I will work on getting all the supplies.

It was a creative weekend me and my friends. I hope yours was creative too!
