Coupon for my Artifire Studio!

Since you all have been so great and helping me getting to over 1,700 fans at Crafty's Creations on Facebook, I've decided to add a coupon to my Artfire Studio! 

So, if you haven't visited Crafty's Artifire Studio, you probably should!  You will get a free gift with purchase!

Just a quickie on my way to bed!

A dear sister friend asked me to crochet her a bracelet.  I am absolutely in LOVE with this bracelet!  She said she wanted pink & purple, to tie myself & her because those are our colors.   I used the Pink Crazy Lace Agate (pink and purple) that I received for being chosen as Rings and Things Blog Partner, and Amethyst Swarovski Crystals.   

Sister Friend, Ashlie....I LOVE YOU GIRLIE!!

Blog Partner!!

So, I signed up to be a Rings & Things Blog Partner my name was picked!  What this means is, I was sent a grab bag of goodies to make stuff out of & review!  I've been soooo busy with working full time (with OT), dealing with sick boys (3 including my husband) and my own "can't get rid of it" cough.  Last week, I finally pulled out these beautiful Pink Crazy Lace Agate

I've been running my fingers over these beads for a few months now.  I pulled out my pink wire & decided on a ring.  Since that's my new obsession... LOL

Isn't it pretty?  I love how pretty it looks in the sun!  Thank you Rings & Things! Can't wait to see what I pull out of the grab bag next!

Lastly... I'm SURE that's a word!

I was inspired by some REALLY creative women during this auction!  Kat from Kat's Custom Kreations does some pretty amazing things.  One of them is crochet with wire.  I'd done it for a project for Hancock Fabrics about 7 years ago, and wanted to try again!  This was my first attempt.

It was a Christmas gift for one of my sister-in-laws.  Then, I decided to try a different design for my other sister-in-law!

And, I decided to make another with purple beads to add to my Etsy shop!

So, while working with wire, I decided to fiddle with a ring.  I *heart* this pink wire! AND the Tigereyes!

SOOOoooo many fun things happening in Craftyland!

Much Love, 

Crafty Cori

Nextly... Is that a word?

I was chosen as a Rings & Things Blog Partner for November!  I was sent a HUGE goodie bag full of fun stuff to make & review!  So, stay tuned for some fun Rings & Things stuff to come!
