Today I closed my Creative People NW etsy store. It had been open since 2009. But wait! This isn't sad news! I'm starting a blog and will post all kinds of cool creative things there. Plus, I'll be finding great affiliates that I believe in for crystals and more.

I've been busy doing repairs on a 1988 manufactured home in desperate need of updating and fixing what 'handymen' have done to it. Plus, one of the big changes has been to um, cough, cough, 'deconstruct' a massive 'closet'? in the front bedroom to turn it into a craft room to sew, create art, and make jewelry. I'll let you know when the blog is up and running and I'll make sure to put lots of pictures up here to see. Thanks for staying around with me these years. I love having you drop in to say Hi!

Hey there! I hope everyone is doing great and to give you a bit of a smile, here are pictures of 2 new pendant/talisman necklaces and a fresh picture of a favorite Crazy Lace Agate Pendant. As gardening season winds down, I want to make more pendulum & Tarot inspired pieces. So let me know what you think!! Hope you enjoy my Ace of Wands and my Lapis Lazuli Pendulum/Pendant necklace.

Some of the jewelry I've been making and will try to post on my store tomorrow. There are a few more pieces to take pictures of. I'm bringing back the earring design that I created in 2009 of earrings that you have removable drops so you can wear without or add other drops, like pieces of chain, small charms, etc. Also a Garnet & Red Tiger Eye ankle bracelet that could be worn as a wrist bracelet with a long dangle. 10 1/4" long. Thanks for looking!

Two more items to make. A wire wrapped pink & green Ocean Jasper in Sterling with a coordinating necklace of Pink Morganite, Seraphinite, & Green Aventurine. Then a 14k Gold Fill wrapped Titanium Druzy tear drop that can be worn on a chain, leather cord, or neck collar. Going to be a busy week.

Going to add 2 mm faceted Amethyst beads on this pendant holder I made from 14k gold fill wire and will wrap around some of the wire. Then make a necklace from wrapped links of Larkivite, Amethyst, and Blue Lace Agate. There is a Feldspar 'flash in the Larkivite beads. Larkivite is found in Norway.
