More hair pretties!

November 25th, 2007

So here are a few more finished hair pretties! I also made some kite, umbrella and mice for Ava which are in her hair and Im not able to photograph them! She fell in LOVE with them! She’s been on a “Ratatoullie” kick the past 3 days and when she saw the mice she screamed “It’s ratatoullie!”.

My favorite are the piggies and the princess! They are actually supposed to be a ‘queen’ according to stampin up, but I think most little girls will see them are princesses.

Enjoy!

Just in time for Christmas!

I have to tell you that when I saw the SU! catalog back in August there was a set that JUMPED out at me and screamed resin! I didnt order it until a couple weeks ago and I was so excited to finally put it to use yesterday! I started out making the resin the good ol’ fashion way that I always do and I picked 4 images to start with; apple, rainbow, pig and owl. The only one I havent got a picture of yet are the sweet little piggies! They’re still drying with adhesive on the clips….so you’ll see those soon! I also plan to pop some more into the molds now that I know how much I LOVE them!

Anyway, I used the ‘ABC images’ set from SU! which has the CUTEST little images and I’m going to be making cupcake, kite, boat and a few other pretties soon! But for now here are the finished product!

Are these not so cute?!?!?! And to make it even better they are totally customizable! I can change the background colors or the colors of the images! The diameter of the main images are 1/2 inch and these are on 2 inch long professional strength hair pins. (Thanks goodness I keep my liscence updated!) I can also put these on smaller hair pins as well for smaller heads, but I really made these for big girls. And to be honest, Ava and Audrey have so much hair that they can handle a bigger clip!

And as for the name, we call hair clips pretties. It started out when Ava was a wee baby and we needed to tame her hair. She was born with a mullet! It’s just stuck over the years.

I should have LOTS more ‘pretties’ over the weekend, so look out for them! Next I’ll show you my long put off recipe books using my long neglected bind it all!

New jewelry!

September 22nd, 2007

It’s time again for new jewelry in my etsy shop! 

I have found some more lovely pieces of vintage beauty to mix and match together, this time all necklaces. I have four new necklaces, two styles with two color options each! I should be adding another 3 or 4 necklaces within the next week!

This time, I was able to find chains that complimented the cameos and the settings and Im very pleased with how they turned out. Two of them feature vintage beaded brass necklaces at 15 inches in length. The other two necklaces have approximately 20 inch length faux pearl strands.

Now onto a peek!

If your interested in any of them all of the information is available in my shop! I had a lot of fun finding the pieces and putting them together and I hope they find great homes! Have a wonderful night.

Buzza, buzza, buzza
