New Fall Line Preview

Just popping in to treat you to a sneak peek at my upcoming fall line.
You may have seen my floral Petra necklace in my shop. I love the aesthetic of mixing silk florals with a variety of beads, chain and ribbon so much that I’m taking the inspiration and creating a new line for fall. I’ve added a [...]

Back to Work!

Not too much to report today, back to work at the day job and coming down off of a very relaxing and lovely weekend. Friday didn’t amount to much, G was very sick with some sort of stomach bug and I was feeling a little yuck myself. Saturday was a nice relaxing day at home, [...]

More Fun With Shrinky Dinks

Second attempt with the dinks. I’m even more skeptical that these babies will become a viable tool for me. This time, I used the version of dinks that you can run through your inkjet printer. I went out and purchased some Chinese Indigo Clip Art by Dover, and manipulated the images to change colors and refine them [...]

Experiments from the Liebling Lab (a.k.a. My Kitchen…)

Muahahaaaaha! Muaaaaahahahaha! Muaaaaaahahahahahhahahahah! Ahem. Okay, that’s my best “mad scientist” impersonation. Not so much? Yeah…I know.
Anybody that knows me well will attest that I’m all about learning new things and expanding my horizons. I’m also impatiently desperate to gain the skills I need to craft some truly original work, and wish I could condense all the time and [...]

Summer Goes By Too Fast

Don’t you just feel like summer flies by too quickly? I love summer, always have. Especially now that I’m working full time, trying to get my jewelry sales off the ground and am not enrolled in classes at school. That will all change come the end of July, as I will go back to school [...]

Wow! I’m LAZY Today!

So…It’s 2:56 pm and I’m still hanging out in my robe. The downstairs neighbors are apparently gone, which resulted in zero thumping, zero slamming items and doors around like pure cavemen this morning. Needless to say, sleeping in was not a problem! Ahhhhhh…
I’m liking this. The biggest thing I’ve done today is to get off [...]
