Do You Have Ideas For Your Dream Craft Room?
What I would give to create my dream craft room?! Oh, Boy! I’d go crazy I’d go to Michael’s, A.C. Moore, Joanne’s, Boston Bead Co., along with several other shops physical stores and online. If I only had the time and money. =) Wouldn’t you??!!
While making a piece of jewelry I like to give it a name and while naming it tell a little story, well try to at least. I don’t know how many people out there do this kind of thing but I think it’s necessary with certain pieces as they are considered wearable pieces of art. Every artist names there artwork don’t they?

There is one other reason I love October..it’s my birthday month-how fun. So, this is my story behind naming this bracelet “October Sky” (it wasn’t named after the movie).
