Update
Gosh. Where has the time gone since my last post?
I've been busy creating new projects. Created a new Etsy website. Been on vacation. And, doing a lot of jewelry repairs. Creating the new website has been the most time consuming. And, it still is not finished. I have no banner for the shop.
My original Etsy shop- www.sparetimebyyvette.etsy.com now features just my wearable creations- jewelry, knitted year-round scarves, and knitted shawls. It made sense to splinter off the non-wearable items; so, the embroidered canvas tote bags and machine embroidered guest towels have been moved to a new shop featuring my embroidery work- www.Eldersburgembroidery.etsy.com. I'm still in the process of photographing and posting new items for each site; so, visit both shops often.

Open House
The Sunday after Easter, I will be hosting an Open House featuring my hand crafted jewelry and all of my other craft items- colorful hand knitted year-round scarves, hand knitted shawls, handmade canvas tote bags with machine embroidery designs on the pocket, and fingertip guest towels with machine embroidered designs. Plus, I am busy making new items for the spring- most of which will not be available for sale on my website- I won't have time to post them on Etsy.
Details about the Open House are on the "Show Schedule" in the right hand column. Stop by to see me if you are in the Baltimore area.

A New Year
It's Spring- a new year for crafters. I've been busy getting ready. Upcoming events where I will be vending are posted under "Show Schedule" in the right-hand column.
On my website, you will notice that embroidered hand towels are being phased out. They will be available by custom order only. Embroidered fingertip guest towels are new. Guest towels are standard size- 11" x 18", cotton terry loops on the bottom side, and plush velour on the top side. Most of the previous hand towel embroidery designs are available on the guest towels; but many new designs are being added. Why the change? The embroidered towels are intended to be used as decorator items in the powder room or guest bathroom- more like fancy guest towels. So, I've been busy adding this new product line to my inventory. www.sparetimebyyvette.etsy.com.

Resin and Sea Glass Jewelry
My husband and I collected lots of sea glass on the beach in the Bahamas several years ago. The dilemma has been what to do with it to make jewelry. I thought of combining it with seashells some how. Then I thought of suspending the sea glass from pendants of different media. Finally, I decided on combining seashells with resin to make pendants. So, I took a resin class and purchased a book, which I've read cover to cover more than once. I finally got the nerve to try the resin on my own. At last, I'm producing finished pieces that I am pleased with. Earrings and pendants are now appearing on my Etsy shop this week. I'll share them here as well.

St. Martin Beads-- Mystery Solved
My husband and I took another vacation to St. Martin late October. We finally solved the mystery about the St. Martin beads that I wrote about in my first post on the blog, February 6. We purchased the beads at the open air market in Marigot, on the French side of St. Martin.
These beads are made from water snake. The beads have been treated to preserve the skin.
The remainder of the beads came to St. Martin from French Guyana. They are made of woods native to French Guyana.
