It's October...

...and that means it's Breast Cancer Awareness month. Last winter, my good friend, Corrie, lost her battle to cancer. Today is her birthday and she would have been only 34. So in memory of her and in line with breast cancer awareness month, I created a new line of jewellery and thought it would be awesome to launch this line on Corrie's birthday. You can check out the entire line at Melanie Cronyn Designs. All of the Corrie line is made with pink rock quartz which is a beautiful sparkly clear stone. It's really a stunning stone! I've posted a couple of pictures to give you a taste. The first is a necklace, the rock quartz is dangling in the middle of a sterling silver hoop.



Check out this pair of sweet earrings, made of the same rock quartz, but hanging from a sterling silver hoop ear wire! These ones are my favorites!



So, in memory of you, Corrie, this new line of pink jewellery is dedicated to you - you are missed!

how to get your pet out of an emergency...

...with the Pet Emergency Evacuation Jacket of course! And for mere $480 (US) it can be yours...errr....or your pets. This jacket is fancy though, with flame retardant fabric and a carrying handle (because that will come in handy when your cat is attacking you for even thinking about putting that thing on him/her). It also includes pockets for holding tools and supplies...that's right, so your cat or dog can help themselves get out of these emergency situations when the tools are right at hand.
For your viewing pleasure, check it out...



now that you get a good idea of what it looks like - check out the cat model....champion cat I have to say, for putting up with that. Hope he got a lot of treats.



In case you'd like to get your christmas shopping started, you can purchase this bad boy at Japan Trend Shop

Upcoming fall wedding!

Over the weekend I got back on track and made earrings and a bracelet for my best friends sister - who is getting married in a few weeks. Here is a quick picture of the earrings.


I also made all her bridesmaids earrings as well. I think they turned out beautiful and I never would have thought to put all these colours together if it hadn't been the colours used in their dresses.


I can't wait to see them on the girls on the big day!

Also over the weekend I booked some studio time and did some silversmithing, I'm not quite done polishing what I made, but watch for those pictures over the next few days - I'm really happy with what I came up with.

Next up...baby!!

I'm am terribly sorry for not writing in ages, but I have a bit of an excuse, I'm pregnant, and for the last 5 months I've been exhausted! It was debilitating, I can't even tell you! I would come home from work, and flop on the couch until it was time to go to bed! thankfully my husband does all the cooking in our household, otherwise I would have starved because I just would not have had the energy to make anything!
Here's a 3-D image of the baby, it's a boy!

Anyway - all the tiredness has passed now and I'm back on track and ready to get on with making jewels and preparing for this baby!
I'm making jewellery for a friends wedding and should have some pictures in the next few days! They will be a beautiful mixture of fall colours! I'm off to get started on them!
