New Site Design 2010 ! New Jewelry!

Hi!

I've realized recently (a bit later than I should have) that I really need to keep up with my blog and make updates of new pieces, things going on in my world, etc. I am going to be posting much more often and hopefully keep things interesting. We'll see. Like diaries, I want to write in them and I start it, but I usually just don't keep it going. Time for me to make a change and become a real blogger! haha

Just to start things off...I've had my website redesigned and I'm pretty damn happy with it!

Hope you like it! www.metalsugar.com

Here's a new piece I made that I'm super excited about! My Cap Necklace with CZ's set around it! You can buy here: http://www.metalsugar.com/product/cap-necklace

Brooklyn Lyceum Recession Buster Craft Fair May 2 & 3

Come on out to the Brooklyn Lyceum May 2 & 3 for the Recession Buster Craft Fair!


 Brooklyn Lyceum Craft Market Official Website

May 2 and 3     
The Anti-Depression Session!

all handmade crafts priced at $30 and under


We want everyone to thrive in this sucky economy - both crafters and consumers - so we want to help get the goods flowing in both directions.  This is a time for keeping our money local and helping our artists thrive, all the while keeping an eye on the ole purse strings.  This market is designed for those of us who can't spend like we once could, but still want to support the arts the best we can, get to know the artisans' of NYC, and get lovely handmade things in the process.

So please come to the Market, buy as much as you like (get those mother's day and holiday gifts early), and let's keep our money out of Target and Walmart!!

It's massive, seriously.

I forgot how massive it actually was and am scrambling to get things made in time. Oh stress, how I love thee.

On another note, I'm really dizzy today-I'm really not sure why. Hope I'm not sick! Eck!

New Necklace-TT the Flower

Howdy!

What a lovely Labor Day Weekend! One of my best friends came to town from LA and I met her boyfriend and we all caught up and had a blast! This didn't leave me much time to think about jewelry, much less make any. After about Day 3, I was feeling totally overwhelmed by my need to create something new, anything new.

On Day 4, which was last night, I couldn't fight the urge any longer. I sat myself down at my workbench and sketched a few things out, hoping to come up with my first piece in my new line of tiny charms I've been wanting to make for months and months. I did it and here is my first piece!

Piece #1: TT the Flower!!
$45

TT is hand-cut in sterling silver, hung on a dainty ball chain, and brushed for finish. He's full of smiles and charm and yearning for a new home. Each TT will be slightly different-think of them like those twins that really look alike but you can tell them apart, haha.

I'm pretty pleased with him and I hope you smile if nothing else when you see him.

Feel free to take a closer look at this little guy on my website www.metalsugar.com or in my Etsy Shop!!

Stay tuned for more updates, events, and random goodness!

Bosco Looking Precious














What could be more appropriate for my first blog post than a picture of my adorable son, Bosco. I get to look at this face every single day of my life and it never gets old. Aaah, life is good!
