I've been quite a busy bee, which is why I had to abandon my blog (and my fabric shop) for a while. The wedding planning crept up on me, and I have been up at night worrying about details. There is still a lot to plan, but we have gotten some big things (candy buffet, photographer, etc.) out of the way, so I'm feeling a tiny bit better with the plans right now. My biggest problem is that obviously I can't be the one to set up the centerpieces/candy buffet/guest book/table numbers/name cards on my wedding day and that is totally freaking me out. I need to hire someone super insanely organized to do that for me. Any takers??
Also, I have been working on a new spring line for my jewelry shop. While I haven't added anything for a really, really long time, I decided that I really needed to put my heart back into it. My new designs will include handmade earwires (I am so excited about being able to make my own!), sterling silver chain, and some designs with paper. My paper shop has been closed for a while, but I am still madly in love with paper -- so I found some new ways to incorporate paper into some jewelry. The predominate colors in the spring designs will be, well, springy! Pale pinks, greens, yellows, and purples. There will also be hints of deep brown, like the rich soil that the flowers are popping up out of right now.
I'll be showing some sneak peaks in the coming days. I hope to have the line launch on April 18th.

Pins in the process of being made - felt backs (ecofelt from recycled plastic) are cut and ready to have pins attached.
Finished fabric pins! They come in a set of three -- small, medium, and large -- in a round tin. I hope to have them posted some time this week.
