My mom gave me this locket I don’t know how many years ago. Originally it was on a chain. At some point (10 years ago or so) I made a new chain for it with amethyst chips, round purple glass beads, and sterling silver wire. I liked it at the time, but hadn’t worn it [...]

The last two weeks have been my busy time at work. I’ve had no extra time for anything, other than eating, sleeping, and an occasional load of laundry. Thank goodness that is over now, and I can get back to my regularly scheduled life. I finally finished the necklace I was making for my Mom [...]

This post is rather late, seeing that my birthday was over a month ago, and we’re on the verge of spring, but I really wanted to share this necklace, so… Last year when I turned 40 I decided to buy myself a gift (or gifts) and I ended up buying a few pieces of jewelry [...]

So my third soldering attempt is way better than the first two. Pretty good, just a few lumps and bumps that need to be filed smooth (and who doesn’t have a few lumps and bumps that need fixing?). I’m still not quite there with the adding a bead of solder – I have a hard [...]

A couple weeks ago I noticed the leaves were subtly changing color. They were not quite so green, not quite so vibrant anymore. And I knew fall was on its way. Of course to me it feels like it should still be July. But October – October! – lurks around the corner. And once October [...]

Hi there! Welcome to my humble little blog. I’m Dawne. I'm also a maker of stuff, a wife, a mother, a mermaid in disguise, a lover of all things sparkly, and a chocoholic. I've been blessed with a gift of creativity and a love of making beautiful things. I think this world could use a little more beauty, don't you?
I enjoy playing with beads, wire, paper, old photos, thread, and glitter glue. There is simply no such thing as too much glitter glue.
Here I record all of my creative endeavors and escapades, triumphs and disasters.
Enjoy! Projects in Progress
