How creativity can be forced sometimes - day 1

I usually get my stuff shipped by Fedex. I thought I could try Canada Post this time...

Huh, let me tell you it's the LAST time I use them. I ordered over 2 weeks ago and my shipment is still on the other side of the country! If I had used Fedex I would be way up to my neck in necklaces and other creations!

In the meantime, I am forced to be creative, which is actually a blessing. I have to use the georgous crystal rounds and pearls from Swarovski that I ordered back in December. I am presently making a bracelet with charms made out of these pearls and rounds...

I was playing with the different colours and with 1 briolette that I had - I was really wondering why in heck I had bought only one? What was I thinking? -, well, here is what I made yesterday, and I love it!

It's true what they say that in order to be creative you need to try different things and it will all unfold right in front of your eyes.

Gotta to get back to work before Chloé wakes up from her nap...

Can I exercise please?

Saturday morning, making pancakes as a family and sipping coffee, ahhhhhhh how I love Saturdays! Since I am in the mood, I decide to pull out my mat from under the couch and do a bit of Pilates.

Toddler "Awwwww, I want to do it tooo!"
Mommy "Ok, I'll get you your own mat"
Toddler "Yeahhhhhh".

Ok, that'll be fine, I'll be able to do it without interruption as she will be busy imitating me.

WRONG!

Why are toddlers like cats? They are exactly where you are stepping next, where you are kicking next and where you are stretching next! I swear, one day, God forbid, there will be an accident!

Anyways, got to do some and now back to my work table where I need to finish silk cords (which is the non-fun part of making jewelry) for relaxed necklaces, like this one!

Happy Saturday!

Yum, it reminds me of cherries

Ok, I just finished one of the rare bracelet available at Chloé & Me Jewelry!

I got this idea while I was nursing my baby in the middle of the night...this is a time when I am the most creative!

I am totally in love with these red beads and pendants and am constantly looking for ways to enhance their beauty, if at all possible. After all, Swarovski's crystals are magnificent at their raw state!

True blood...

Ohhhhhh, how this one reminds me this show True Blood, don't you think? I love it!

E-mail me to get one of your own!

Defibrillator

I think this crystal is now alive, check it out!

Whiteout...l'enfer blanc!

Well, the weather outside is frightful!

I wanted to get my clothing display so I can take better pictures of my necklaces on a display instead of on me! But...I guess I will have to forego that idea, check out the weather here in Montreal this morning!

Waiting and waiting...

I am waiting impatiently for my shipment of new Swarovski crystals and components that I need to continue my work!

I can't wait to see how I can create new necklaces. I have ordered many more starfishes of various colours. There is one that is Bermuda blue! It's absolutely fabulous! It shines like nobody's business!!

Here is a picture of a necklace I made for my fiend Gen in this peacock bermuda blue. Doesn't it remind you of the ocean?

I still dream of living on a beach somewhere one day...I think it's just sain to dream!

Bonne journée!
