Video tutorial on making a special dish for your jewelry

Tutorial at Cute Simple Stuff Blog

"Today I am sharing this idea of an item that comes on handy when you have a situation similar to mine. Every time I would go and take a shower, I would always take off my jewelry or accessories before taking a shower and then place them next to my shower. It was getting kind of frustrating because I didn´t have a “proper” place to place them while they were there and before I put them back on where I usually store them...First World Problems. I know, but is always the small things, and if there is something that could simplify and make like just a tad bit easier, I´ll take it".... Read more

"I love making polymer clay accessories and jewelry in general, but I feel weird when I go out without earrings, especially to special events or on the weekends to have fun and such not that I do that often, but when I do, I like to doll myself up a bit.

Easy to make and would make perfect holiday gifts

Tutorial at Wellnesting Blog

"I whipped up these earrings early last week so that I might have something to wear during the wedding. I was inspired by the vibrant gold tones of the Virginia foliage in early fall and wanted something to complement the peachy-coral colors of the wedding. After some experimenting and lots of half-baked (pun intended) attempts, I ended up with these.  I love them more than I thought I would, and, in all honesty, more than I love most things I make.  They're perfectly imperfect, and I find myself reaching for them most mornings rather than my standard pearl or diamond studs. I call that a win".... Read more
