The Big Move....Between Shows

Harvest Hues went well. I've changed my display and quite happy with it. I got a lot of positive feedback about it!


My next show is Cream of the Crop. It is a bigger show and is on for 3 days from Oct. 12 - 14. One of my pieces that will be available is a necklace I made for a special order that has now changed. The beads are all handmade by me and the silverwork as well.




I also (amidst my reorganizing) came across some copper chains I had previously ordered. They are similar to Pandora or Troll but they are copper. I had an idea to try one of my large hollow cored beads on it. I LOVE how it looks! I have one or two other beads I may do this with as well!


Special Project

I finished another non-jewellery project and got it sent off in the mail this week. Huge success. It was a birthday gift for my cousin and she loved it!

Catching Up With Technology.....

Well kind of....

I just put my shop onto my IPOD last week and today I thought, maybe I can put my blog on as well. Bingo!

Makes them both easier to manage.

You ARE noticing I'm not totally caught up, though. I still have an IPOD, not an iPhone, and there's no camera in this baby. :)

This week I'm prepping for our annual Harvest Hues show on Saturday. This year I'm changing my display up a bit and also having a sale from now until Saturday in my shop (www.prairieskycreations.ca) or at Harvest Hues.

10% off any items with fall colours: Red, Yellow, Orange, or Copper. For shopping on-line, just use the coupon code HARVEST12 at checkout.

What a BUSY summer!

I've been so busy and putting on miles this summer! First we organized a reunion out at the coast, then as soon as we got back I had an anniversary photobook to work on (over 800 pictures!), then a lovely day at the valley for the Midsummer's Art Festival, then organizing our own jewellery exposition - Harvest Hues, quick trip to Calgary for a wedding and now my next show Sunflower at Yorkton. I've also done Beads of Courage each month.Busy! Busy! Busy!

Amidst it all, I have managed to come up with a few new enamelled pieces as well. We'll see what this fall brings! :o)
