Happy Dia De Los Muertos!

So, I have had a busy couple of weeks trying to get ready for Halloween festivities.

• I had to make my halloween costume which consisted of a purple, black and green tutu, a corset top, a shrug with chains on it, purple hair extentions, purple and black striped tights and some thick chunky mary janes. I only made the tutu but it took me awhile to perfect it. This is a picture of the tutu about 3/4 done.

• I also had to make jewelry for Blair's bday present:
• I also made a few little 2 row peyote stackable rings that were in different combinations of pink, green and black (her favorite colors). I love these because they are fun, but low key and will fit under gloves for those who have to wear disposable gloves for work (I'm a nurse :P and she's a dental assistant). I didn't get to take pics of them before they made it into the gift box though.
  
• I also made a necklace a chainmaille necklace! First real attempt at chainmaille, but I think it turned out really well. I posted it on Etsy today, so go check it out at my shop SeedToBead!
  

• I also ordered supplies from Sun and Moon Crafts to make scrabble tile and glass pendant goodies. I made a glass pendant necklace with pink and white cherry blossoms and a green background for Blair's bday present. It was really cute, but was one of those things I didn't get a picture of before the festivities...(I know, smack me. hehe) I also played around with different papers and such and made a Jack Skellington and Sally square glass pendant with a simple "chain" made from montana blue seed beads that I purchased from GSBoutique on Etsy. This one I'm keeping for myself :)

• I also made a glass tile ring with an asian print on it.

I think that's it for now, I hope you all had a lovely Halloween and have a great weekend!

New shop, New items

Well, I took Etsy Admin Michelle's advice and I finally moved all of my items over to a new username that doesn't have random numbers in it that are hard to remember. Check it out at www.seedtobead.etsy.com I did it last night, and I had my first sale ever on etsy this morning! Dunno if that was a coincidence or not.



I also posted 2 new items today. Little Red Riding Hooded Scarf and Wiggly Piggly Bracelet!

I'm really jealous of whoever buys the hooded scarf. It turned out so well, I'm gonna have to make one for me too!

Welcome everyone!

Hello all, this is the inaugural posting of my blog for my etsy shop "Seed To Bead"!

First, let me introduce myself. My name is Jessica. I am 24 years old, and live in Indianapolis, Indiana with my boyfriend of a year. I have no kids, but I still think I'm a kid myself :) I am an agency nurse, and predominately work at St. Vincent Seton Specialty Hospital in Indy which is a Long term acute care hospital. The easiest way to explain what that means is that we take care of patients after they get discharged from the hospital, before they get to go home. These patients usually need sometime of rehabilitation before they get to go home. Most of them are being weaned off a ventilator or trach, or have wounds that needs some extra TLC :) I am a LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) and currently taking classes online for my RN degree so that I can have many more work opportunites. I especially would like to work in OB/GYN or Pediatrics. My ulimate goal is to be a nurse midwife and deliver babies! This takes A LOT of schooling, so that's a very long term goal. You need a master's degree plus some...

I consider myself a normal 24 year old (for the most part :P). I like to listening to music or discovering new music, going to concerts, watching tv, going out with friends, and playing video games (The Wii and any mario games are my favorite). I also like to make things, which usually turn out to be gifts for people. I crochet, knit and bead. I mostly make jewelry, but I also knit scarves, hats and blankets, so it's not uncommon for me to be working on like 5 different projects at once! I like working with chenille yarn (it's sooo soft!), pearls, and swarovski crystals; but most of my creations are composed of tiny seed beads. My favorite thing to make with them is a daisy flower.

I am currently in the process of changing my shop over to a new account with that username. My current shop's username is aegirl750353, and when I attended a store critique on etsy last wednesday, Michelle said I should change it so that people will remember my name, and it will make it easier for people to find me again! So I'm under construction I suppose you could say :)


Ok, I think that is enough about me. Please come and visit my store! Let me know what you think! You can use this handy little aim widget thing i made and it will send me an instant message! just make sure to change your nickname by clicking where it says aimguest1234 or whatever, so i know who you are! I though it was nifty :P (I'm also easily amused)

My etsy store right now is www.aegirl750353.etsy.com
It will be changing over to www.seedtobead.etsy.com
