Once a year my friend Elaine has a party at her house where she invites vendors to come and sell their jewelry. I’ve passed on this event for the past few years as I’ve been more focused on the fiber arts, but this year I’m making it a point to attend. So I’ve been trying to create inventory for the show.
Last week I dedicated Wednesday to jewelry making. I made these *
art nouveau earrings
And these…
various heart component earrings
The party is on Black Friday. It’ll be a race against time for me to have everything I want done by then. Unfortunately this means my other hobbies will suffer from neglect.
Yes. I’m slowly coming to the realization that I can’t do it all.
As for those of you who think Sammy is too sweet to plot any evil? Check out this picture of him.

See him giving me the evil eye? See?
Happy Monday, everyone! Thanks for reading. :)

You can do it all, my Opal. You just have to give up sleep and your friends in order to do it all. ;^)
Love the earrings!

The earrings are gorgeous.
Sammy? Evil? Well, I do think he’s giving you a very cautionary glare. Like…are you gonna spank me for being bad? Or perhaps, are you gonna realize I’m the one that made that mess, or blame it on the REAL culprit?
lolol
(((hugs)))

those art nouveau earrings are quite sexy lookin’! my favorites are still the hearts. and as for sammy – love those cat eyes….
November 17th, 2008 at 10:30 am
He still doesn’t look evil. He looks saddened that you would think so badly of him. :)
Pretty earrings! Can’t buy anything right now, but soon….

He’s PLOTTING! I can see it in his eyes. Oh, Opal, watch out the next couple of days. Sammy is plotting.
Love your earrings, all of them. If I wore jewelry, I’d buy some!
November 17th, 2008 at 11:33 am
Pretty earrings! : ) Oh yeah, I can totally see Sammy’s evilness now. Better stock up on catnip!

November 17th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
Awww…that’s not the evil eye. He’s just wondering why you take so many pictures. LOL
The earring are lovely. Good luck with the sale.

They are all beautiful! What wonderful work you do. I wish I had the patience (and dexterity) to do that. :D Although I think the most beautiful thing on the page is Sammy .
November 17th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Ooooo, he does look evil! But the earrings look wonderful. You’re getting quite good a jewelry making! Can you do stars?

I LOVE all of those earrings! The Art Nouveau ones are especially stunning. =)

Sammy, plotting? Hmmm. He’s very cute, but……maybe. Just watch yourself! Gorgeous earrings. Hope you get everything done for the sale! The fibre, socks and other things will wait until you get back to them.
November 17th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
You are right. Sammy looks evil. Good luck with the show!
November 17th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Gorgeous earrings – I really like the Art Nouveau ones…simply beautiful.
Sammy is not giving the evil eye! He really looks like an angel…. :-)
November 17th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
Grow, Sammy, grow…

I’m quite certain that your earrings will sell like hotcakes and that there will be no end to the hue and cry for you to make more! MoaR eaRRings!!!
Of course Sammy looks evil – all cats are evil by nature. They do sometimes accede to human wishes because it feels good to have a warm lap ro curl up in, to be fed and to have one’s ears scratched :)
Oh yeah – and there’s that opposable thumb thing – They don’t have any :) MUHWAHAHAHA….
Ahem…
November 18th, 2008 at 6:32 am
Those are so pretty! I hope you sell lots and lots!
November 19th, 2008 at 3:33 am
Sammy is clearly giving you a reproachful look for thinking he’s evil.
The earrings are gorgeous, as always!
November 19th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Good luck getting ready for the big day! All your jewelry is lovely. You are very talented :)
November 19th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Beautiful! You are getting a nice selection done. Keep at it!
November 19th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
Wow. Those are *nice*. I bet they’ll sell fast.
