New toy!!

Hey peeps!

This past week my husband gave me my Christmas present early!  It is a Brother 780-D embroidery machine!!  I love it!  I used my mom's Babylock machine for years, so I got pretty familiar with the machine.  Now I can monogram/embroider almost anything!

I have started back making more of my pouches.  I love this pouches because they have so many uses.  I use mine to hold all my chap sticks and lip glosses.  Such a life saver!!  I no longer spend forever searching the depths of my purse for one tube of chap stick!

These are also great for holding USB sticks, personal items, etc.

I will also be working on some baby bibs and other personalized items (probably key chains, pocket tees and scarves).  I am so excited to start working on these items!  If you have any ideas or items that you want to order, just contact me and I will be more than happy to make it for you!

Personalized items are great for birthdays, wedding party gifts, anniversaries, and baby gifts!

Here is my new machine:

I included in the picture two new pouches!

New! New! New!

Hey Everyone!

So...I have fallen behind on posting new items...yeah..  I had two back-to-back shows these last two weeks (great to see everyone who came out!) but now I am getting back on track!  I have been posting new necklaces these last couple of days.  I will begin to post new earrings later this week.

I hope all is going well with you!!  I am so excited about Halloween coming up!  Me and the hubby are going to a corn maze and haunted barn this weekend.  He has been trying to get me to watch really scary movies this month.  I caved and watched a couple, but that's it!  After a couple scary movies, I think I'm set for the whole year.

After Halloween, I will be rolling out my new logo!  My current logo is my Halloween themed banner!  I have already introduced my new earring cards at the Sacred Heart Fall Festival.  But I am waiting till November to completely change over.

Is it weird that I am super excited about this??  I loved my previous logo, but it was very hard to pair anything with it and it was making it difficult to add coordinating marketing products.

Any-who...

I hope you all have a wonderful day and please stop by to see many new additions!

Just a Day at the Market

Hey peeps!!

This past weekend I was able to set up shop at the Wesleyan Market!  This takes place at Wesleyan College, which up until a few years ago was actually an all girl's college.  Me and the hubby had such a great day!  Though the veterans of the market said it was a slow turn out, we had a blast with all the customers.  It was such a great relief to see actual buyers (compared to the Battle of Byron last month  :-/).  Because of the great turnout, we will be returning on the 28th!  Yay!  Which everyone was saying that the end of the month market is much busier!  So if you are local, I highly encourage you to experience the market.  They market had several wonderful vendors.  Many that served great food!  One of which we had for lunch.  It was a great booth that sold Mexican food.  It tasted so fresh and flavorful!

Unfortunately, we were too late to buy dessert (Dustin left to go to some baked good vendors and they sold out before noon!).  But all in all, we had a wonderful day.  I have several new necklaces and earrings that I will try to add this week.

I will also be introducing some seasonal jewelry this year!  I am currently working on some Halloween/Fall earrings.  Some Christmas necklaces are also in the works!

I hope you have a wonderful week!

Just a little something to consider for Halloween.  :-)

Hey Peeps!

Happy Wednesday!

I am working on the Newsletter...so have not fear!  It will be out soon-ish.  I can't tell you how excited I am for tomorrow!  Since my hubby has to work late, I will be making the most of tomorrow to take my mind off of it.  :-)  It will be all about Project Runway and jewelry!  I will be making a pit stop by my all time favorite store to pick up some supplies for a top secret project (which I won't even reveal on here!) and then home to work on adding some new listings!

The new listing that I have waiting to be added are and assortment of necklaces and earrings.  I find myself making more and more long necklaces when I am prepping for Fall.  So I decided...Long necklaces are so in for Fall!  I didn't even bother to consult the trend makers on this one.  Yep!  So I will be working on getting those listings up ASAP!

Tonight I have also discover Flavors. This site has allowed me to corral all my social media for Some Kind of Pretty to one easy location for any follower to use...it even has the etsy store!  So, please follow me on http://flavors.me/somekindofpretty   :-)

I want to leave you with this bright happy necklace for the evening.

Long week...Lots of Rain

So, if you live in Georgia, you may have noticed that every evening it has been raining...a lot...  The excessive rain has actually dampened many of my plans.  I don't have a gym membership anymore, so I like to go on a walk as a warm up.  I can't really walk in the rain.  Of course, there are other options for exercise, but I'm lazy and I like my walks.  :-)

But, all this rain has given me the opportunity to stay inside and work on my jewelry and prepping for a busy Fall season of craft shows!  I'm so excited!!  I am even getting some Christmas jewelry made! (Don't hate me for getting on the Christmas train already.)

In preparation for an upcoming show, I am making a new display for my long necklaces.  I decided that I don't show you all enough of my process, that I will do a DIY for a long necklace display.  :-)  If this rain ever lets up, I will begin my project.  But  till then, I will keep everything a surprise.

I just hope that your week has been a good one!!  I know I'm glad that it's Friday!  What do you have planned for the weekend?

Catheryn

P.S....

I love these!
