View Lexi's comment about her mom here!

Lexi also has an Etsy shop with adorable handsewn dresses and accessories for your little one as well as handpainted items too. She's a busy mom of two with a talent to create, run an her Etsy shop and host three blogs! Wow! I have trouble with one. She a member of CAST a Christian Artist Street Team and she an EtsyMom member and lives with her precious little family in Tyler, Texas.

Also in the news....You might have noticed that on the front page of the Rustique Art site, there is a featured website for that month. Last month I was urging all of my visitors to check out the fabulous finds from The Cottage Junk Co.

This month I'm featuring the amazing talent of Teresa Oller of JJ-Jewels. Her designs set her apart from the other jewelry artisians because of her eye for color and classic style. Her wire wrapping is amazing! She also hosts her own blog and I encourage everyone to read it and visit her world of wonder.

Back in Black!

Very simple and completely elegant....I love this design!

Cross pendant measures 1.75" approx. shaped out of non-tarnishing silver wire into the divine shape of the cross. Black faceted crystals in a flower component complete the classic look of basic black.

Pendant is a perfect weight so that it lays very nicely right below the hollow of the neck. However, this necklace has sterling silver extension chain to give additional length if needed. A little silver heart attached for a finished look from behind.

A wide organza ribbon gives this design the look of a "feminine" black tie attire.

This necklace is now available in my Etsy shop!

Bling'n in the Spring!

Fresh as a daisy!

These are as fresh as you can get, just jumping off of the workbench and ready for my Etsy shop and the Rustique Art site! A great gift for Mother's Day...which by the way is 5 weeks from today! In fact they are so fresh that I havn't even put them in the shops yet. Your the first to see.
I'll be busy putting these little cuties on the site in the next couple of days....so get ready to click, click, click.....

"Mother's Day" special price until May 1st all keyrings are 10% off....wow! Now you can get two for under $20! And, when you buy two....I'll pay shipping!

AND.....How about a giveaway! Easy to do, just post a comment telling me something special about your Mom. It could be anything or more than one thing.
While your at it go ahead and subscribe to my blog, that way you won't ever miss out on the latest and greatest.
Get busy posting those comments....i'll be annoucing the winner on May 4th....spread the love!

One more thing....take time in your day everyday to stop...thank God for His blessings, hug your babies and tell them more than once that you love them, tell your husband or wife that they make your heart skip a beat when they look at you, call one friend or more each day and catch up on their life, do at least one random act of kindness, find a kind word to say about the person driving slow in front of you and treat yourself to at least 15 minutes of sunshine.

Snowy Day!

You gotta love the Texas weather.....70's one day, snow the next....back to 70's and thundersnow today! Wow....we have some wild & wackey weather.

This kinda of day allows creativity to blossom and the more it snows outside.....I'm all warm and snuggly inside having a "grab your cup of java stay in your jammies burrow into your studio and play all day" kinda day!

For example....this is why you save buttons before you get rid of clothing!
And even if someone passes on some random beads that you think you'll never use....think again! This little 3" ornamental cross was lovingly made from scraps...how sweet! It will probably be the fastest selling design.....since I only have enough nuggets to make one more. Guess I'll have to dig out some forgotton beads that I stashed somewhere.....Enjoy your snowy day!

Why is March Mad?

What is the Madness of March? I'm not sure....maybe someone could fill me in! It's quite possible that the term means the looney mad, not the angry mad. In that case I can relate. I have a show in 5 days and I am beginning to feel a bit crazy. Like, why am I writing in my blog when I could be making a cross? Oh well....chalk it up to madness ;) so funny!
Speaking of the show... details would probably be necessary so that you can save the date and come out to visit me!

What: 2008 March Madness Arts & Crafts Show
When: Satuday March 8, 2008 9am - 4pm
Where: Guyer High School Corinth, Tx (map in link)
