This necklace has been featured in this treasury by Catherine. It is a treasury list that features CASTTeam members, and I am honored to be part of it.
I have to get listing more tomorrow, so I just hope we have some sun to take neat pictures and be able to list some items. I don't really know what I am going to do in the winter, since natural sunlight happens to be the best for my pictures. If I take pictures indoors, photos end up orange-ish and ugly =/ Anybody knows a good (not too expensive) lamp to avoid this ? I already have a light tent so I know this helps a bit.
Also, reminder to all, my walking team for breast cancer has a Silent Auction going, and we will feature items donated by fellow artists and crafters. If you want to bid on unique items and support a great cause, click here and browse !
Might be back later tonight with more interesting stuff to say =)

Sometimes you think you'll never make it into a treasury, and there's always somebody to remind you that you are absolutely wrong. I had a beautiful surprise yesterday, when I was back from work, I was part of Anastasia's black and white treasury. (You might want to check her shop by the way, she sells some neat stuff ! http://mattscraftywife.etsy.com )
The necklace featured is very special to me, as it is the first piece I made that was part of my Christian collection. It was the necklace that started it all, and since then, it has never stopped.
Of course, it takes me more time to put the pieces together and form a full collection, because this is a higher end product, and I really take my time to create pieces that have a meaning.
I think the treasury is still live, I don't know if it's Treasury West or regular Treasury, because I'm featured in treasuries in both, but go take a look, some great sellers are featured there with me !

I haven't done anything in a long time. No, it's not true. I made a lot of stuff recently, for my cocktail night coming up on November the 29th, but I haven't done anything to list on Etsy or on my own website.
Sooooo, after picking up my brownies from A Sugar Affair at the Post Office, I started looking at my stash to see what I could create. I was in the mood for grey. I don't know why, because I mostly like bright colors, but grey was my inspiration today. And I must admit that I am quite happy with the results.
I bought these borosilicate beads a long time ago and never found what to do with them. I have other colors as well, but I couldn't figure what to match this particular pair with.
This was the only thing I did today. I'm now waiting for my sister to arrive, because she's coming to spend the night with me ! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ! I can't wait, I miss her very much since I moved out. Here's a picture of my tiny little sister with a friend. I spent a part of the afternoon browsing through her trip pictures, and I must admit, I am jealous.
...So jealous, that I am planning a trip to Hawaii with her for the next year. She will also come with me to the UK during next summer. I plan on catching up on the traveling. (Although I won't find any kangaroos where we'll be going...)
Anyway, I have rice on the stove, and I don't want that stuck at the bottom of the saucepan...
I woke up to an inch of snow. YES ! SNOW ! If you look at today's date, you'll see that something is seriously wrong. We are not even in November, yet. But it's snowing. For those who don't believe me, here are two pictures I took this morning when I woke up.
This is my balcony. Looks like it's going to be Christmas too. I just wish one thing though. That we have a white Christmas just like last year. The year before, we had a mud Christmas. Not so cool.
This is the street. Snow started to melt already. Thanks goodness. I think I was going to have a panic attack or something. I woke up, then went straight to the window, to see if it was raining. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ! It's solid rain. Not fair.
Ok, I'll try being positive. I'll talk about Christmas, because i'm in the mood. (Wonder why.) This year, I'm at my own place. I cannot rely on mom and dad to cook for me or decorate for me. I will get to choose my own decorations !!! I already have one party planned, and I'm soooooo looking forward to it. I'm on a budget for the tree, but I might just get a gingerbread theme and make some cinnamon applesauce ornaments, and get a natural tree. I can only imagine what kind of smell my house will ahve during the holiday season ! Only thing is that I have no idea where I'm going to put that tree. I don't have room =P Here's my living room/bedroom. Where should I put the darn thing ?!
This is the bedroom's side, with my hubby playing on the PC. He plays so much, that he's now an object. He's part of this corner's furniture =P I can't see where I can put a tree.
And this is the other side of the living room. I would like to put the tree in the left corner near the bookshelf, but there's an electric heater on the wall, so I'm scared, don't want a fire ! I won't get a ginormous tree, but I want something decent, and I want to decorate my windows with lights ! I'd like to put lights on the balcony ramps, but there's no outside plug. I have absolutely no idea.
Anyway... I need advice =P
