A Paris Inspired Design.

 

This design developed itself, I was practicing on the smaller glass seed beads, then added them to a smaller chain. I continued this pattern to create a necklace.

The Eiffel Tower charm had been sitting on the desk and I knew somehow I wanted to incorporate it into this piece. After completing the usual necklace, I used a bit of chain to attach it to the jump rings on the beads, so it would dangle a bit below.

The chain is a antique bronze tone, and the metal is about 3mm wide. The finished product had motivated me to create a matching set of earrings.

My First Attempt.

 

I would like to first inform you that the horn comment worked with the postal worker, she honked and I jumped and got my package!

Alright, today I received some glass seed beads.

 

 

The spacer beads, 8mm glass beads, so I jumped right in and attempted my first piece..

 

 

I had chosen a clear 8mm bead and a pink/blue glass bead that had caught my eye. I placed on silver spacer bead between them to look like this. Then, I decided on a silver chain.

Neither snow nor rain…

 

N either snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. Unless it requires a USPS worker to get out of their truck to knock on your door, then that’s a deal breaker. Even if its sunny.

Help me raise awareness to this practice by passing along this photo on social media.

You can also find it on my Facebook page here.

That’s right, it has happened yet again. *sigh*

Not on this character…

 

Today has been a rather long day for me. This morning a pipe under the sink decided to come loose and fight every attempt to fix it. While running back and forth turning the water on to check yet again if all the places came loose were tightened or covered, I did manage to meet up with the postal lady.

Which brings me back to “Looky what I got today!” For those of you just joining, or to those who are the random passing reader, I have been updating my readers on my latest hobby craze… Jewelcrafting.. And no, I don’t mean on my World of Warcraft Character.

Drop Cross

 

My daughter has been nagging me to use some of my supplies to fix a necklace she gave me. So I redesigned the necklace a bit, and the results were great.

 

 

If you want to see what all I did to put it together check out the post on my blog.[Read More]

One Country, Divided

 

Apparently our media is fueling animosity and racism in the America people. Our pride in our country is suffering, as we fight among ourselves over laws, beliefs, and religions. It has been one troubling thing after another, to pit us against each other.

USPS Redelivery? Yeah Right!

If you were here for my previous post I Solved It, about how I was at home waiting when the USPS left a PS Form 3849 in my mailbox, with no knock at the door, and my following rant about how this practice is actually costing the USPS.

Well it gets even better! I admit I was annoyed, but I went online to https://redelivery.usps.com/redelivery/ and scheduled a next day redelivery. Today, I go out to my mailbox to receive yet another card.

Fight For Your Future!

 

Remember SOPA? Let me introduce you to CISPA, also

known as Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act.

This bill would make a U.S. law that would turn Google, Facebook, and Twitter into government spies, handing over your personal data, and the companies would be legally immune.

And it just passed the House.

I Solved It.

T he USPS is in dire straits, and has been since email has swept the globe. This new instant interaction has cost the company tons of money, and for the past few years has considered cutting hours, and laying off employees to compensate. This tragic spin has spiraled further and further downward, leaving a once flourishing company grasping for ideas.

So I was struck with the solution for their woes a bit ago, and my inspiration came in the form of a little orange card, that once again had magically found its way into my mailbox during my break from stalking the arrival of my expected package. [Read More]

A Little Fun With WLW

 

T oday I decided to use WLW or Windows Live Writer and see how it works to help me so I can post to a few web blogs I have around the net .  My first obstacle I found that no mater what I tried I couldn’t get my theme on my main site to load at Nightwyn.com. I uninstalled, reinstalled, then I caved and used Google.

First I tried a tip I found at wordpress.org, that told me to check to make sure I hade an "unassigned" category.
