Handmade Comfort and Style

Everyone needs that piece of clothing in their wardrobe that can be worn with just about anything. I love shopping on Etsy for gifts and of course things for my self. I want to share that experience with you so I have put together some cute outfits below. All from Etsy!In this picture... Sleepy Moon Elliptic necklace in sterling silver. This necklace is a great little everyday necklace for the woman on the go. You can literally fly out the door with out thinking because it is going to match anything you are wearing. Art Affect Everyday Pencil Skirt is the perfect staple piece for your wardrobe. I can't tell you how many times I have thrown on a simple pencil skirt with my shirt either tucked in or loose. It looks great!

In this picture... Conscious Clothing Striped Hemp Racerback Cowl Dress This dress looks super comphy and I can't live without a dress like this. They are easy to wear and can be paired with leggings, a belt or even jacket for a whole new look. Be Something New Brown Leather Flower Headband This head band is super cute while still being neutral with the browns and light blues. I bought my first headband on Etsy and I am hooked. I am especially excited to have it for the summer because it will be so easy to keep my hair out of my face in the hot weather!

Signed By Me

I have started to sign each piece of jewellery by adding a small tag to the clasp. I have hand stamped the initials SM for Sleepy Moon on each one. So far these tags are only on a couple of necklace, but eventually they will be on all Sleepy Moon necklaces.

I think these tags will ad an extra personal touch reminding the wearer that someone made this piece of jewellery and it is not just one of the million necklaces sold on Etsy or at a store... it is a necklace made by me! (Sleepy Moon)

Spring Inspired Jewellery

Yesterday was a beautiful spring day. I went for a walk with my camera and found so many beautiful plants growing everywhere I looked. Among these plants were these vibrant red flowers. I ended up taking this picture of them.
Many of the pictures I took inspired me to create some springy jewellery, but the red flowers and blue sky spoke to me the most!!
I decided to make a multi gemstone cluster necklace that features genuine red ruby and a blue chalcedony gemstone all wire wrapped in sterling silver. The ruby is abosolutely gorgeous just like the red flowers and the blue hold the same moody contrast that the sky has in the photo.

Jewellery For Your Tree

I am now making these new Christmas ornaments I like to think of them as
jewellery for your tree!

I will be making single ~One Of A Kind~ Gemstone decorations as well as sets of four, six and eight, matching ornament sets. These would make perfect gifts for a loved ones first Christmas away from home, an office Christmas tree or gift exchange even parents and grandparents!
I have designed them so that I can keep them very affordable! Though if you want to go all out I will gladly take custom orders.

Its almost time to start Christmas shopping and if your doing your Christmas shopping online or on Etsy you will want to order things even earlier because you have to take shipping time into account. I know I have been checking things as favourites for future present ideas. I know that I am going to get everyone a different handmade soap and maybe some lip balm. Do you know what are you getting as gifts from Etsy?

This is my studio...with little junior jewellery maker, my son!
With his most sneaky look on his face.

This is what he sees mommy doing.
I think it's so cute how he has the little beads divided up between trucks.
When I woke up this morning I knew he had been in there because I could not find the piece of chain that I had cut for a new necklace I am making.
It is still missing!

Here is my main source of storage!

Here is wear I hang my necklaces so I know to take pictures of them so I can post them to Etsy.
