I know right!  I have not been slacking, really.  Still listing books on amazon like crazy, and guess what they are selling too.  Cleaning and organizing bedrooms and drawer so I can find and put things away.  We had a ice storm yesterday and I fell pretty bad so I am nursing myself back to health today and taking it easy.  Part of a "taking it easy day" to me is a visit to Pinterest.  OK you are right that is any day lol.  Well do you ever wonder if those really cool things we pin really work.  Wonder no more.  Here is a site that trys them out to see.  Such a time saver lol.  Check it out HERE and let me know what you think. As a consolation for no jewelry pictures, look at this one.  Made my day

well,,, I am using up all of the material and diy things I have...  I am an overbuyer lol tonight I am making lip balm.  Its really very easy,  you can find many, many sites with recipes.  Here is a basic one I use a lot.  1TBS beeswax pearls 1TBS shea butter 2 TBS sweet almond oil,  you can use any carrier oil you want.  olive oil works fine 10-15 drops flavoring melt all wax, butter and oil together in a double boiler,  a pot in a pot with some water in the bottom pot will work fine.  Once they are melted remove from heat and whisk flavoring in,  Working quickly pour the mixture into lip balm tins or tubes.  Let cool 20 minutes. Tomorrow I am making soap.  I will post that recipe too

No I haven't been making much jewelry,  I need to get some made for Team Blonde.  I will think about that next :)  Cleaning and organizing has been my top priority the last couple of weeks.  I have been cleaning out the book shelves and listing 90 % of it on Amazon.  For those who have never done this it is sooooo easy.  A great way to make money on things you aren't using anymore.  They even reimburse you for shipping.  Check out my books, there might be something you need.  Back to beads and jewelry soon.  Magikalglassworks Amazon page

I have been busy swaping out jewelry and listing on Etsy .  Here are the newest items I have.

Need to swap out some jewelry at Rustic River to take to the Driftless market.  Sales have been really good there so I need to move stuff around.  They saw the piece in the paper and want me to do a demo in the store sometime in February.  I am super excited about that.  Its very cold here and I haven't really made any jewelry to list.  I am planning on doing that today.  Have a great day. Here is picture I thought was cute as could be.

Just listed another pair of earring on Etsy , then I am going to being making jewelry all day.  The Driftless Market in Platteville sold a lot of my stuff in December and needs to be restocked!  I am so happy as January and February are usually very very slow sales wise.   I will post a picture of what is made before I take it up.  Have a great day.

Listed two new earrings in my Etsy Store.  I am also going be mixing it up a bit here.  Cool products, book reviews and blog and web site shout outs.  Its going to get exciting, so check back.
