JorjaRose Jewellery, 1 Bracelet = 3 Pairs Of Earrings!

JorjaRose Jewellery, 1 Bracelet = 3 Pairs Of Earrings! ...

Recently whilst visiting the gorgeous town of Napier, I came across this Necklace and Bracelet set, which I purchased from Farmers, on sale for $12 for the Necklace and $10 for the Bracelet.

I had a Farmers loyalty redemption of $20, so the set just cost $2!!

I wore the Necklace and Bracelet that very same day, then went back to Farmers {the next day}, and purchased a second Bracelet for $10

When I got back home from our loooong weekend away, I pulled apart {or deconstructed} the second Bracelet to make these 3 pairs of Earrings!

Love it when you can make a complete set of Jewellery, just by getting out the ole set of Jewellery Pliers, and a bit of imagination!

What do you think? … are you going to try this too?!!!

Storage Ideas With Kathe: Jewellery Storage, Oh My …

Jewellery Storage, Oh My …

So I have been searching in vain recently for my {lost} set Jewellery Pliers.

After spending many hours sitting on the floor of my Craft Room searching, I decided the only option I had left was to buy another set …

Little did I know that this would set me back $24.95!!!

So recently I shopped at my favourite store, Jacqui e, and boy did I get some bargains, like a Belt for $1.30, down from $25, and Scarfs for $3.50 down from $40!!!

I also purchased a new Necklace and Bracelet set.

The Necklace was $19.95, down from $39.95, and the Bracelet was $12.95, down from $24.95

Whenever I purchase a new set of costume jewellery, I always purchase 2 Bracelets, that way I can pull apart {or deconstruct} the 2^nd Bracelet, and make a pair of Earrings {or two}!

So yesterday I set to in my Craft Room making some Jewellery, and this is the result …

While I was making some jewellery, I thought you may be interested to see how I store my rather large collection …

The Necklaces hanging are hung on double hooks, which I designed myself. They are stored in my Closet/Wardrobe, that way you can’t see them if you were a burglar looking in through my bedroom window!

I have a rather large collection of Rings, which I store in a container on my Dresser, along with my Earring collection.

Please bear {beer/bare???} in mind that this is 20 years of collecting jewellery, I hate to show you my MakeUp collection!!!

Have I inspired you to try and make some jewellery too?!!

Sending paper-hugs your way,

Kathe.

Happy New Year! I Finally Got My Craft On ...

Happy New Year!

I finally got my craft on yesterday afternoon, and whipped up this little number …

It was for my bestie Megan’s Birthday, and what a birthday she had!!!

Meges had lunch out with her 3 daughters, and then in the evening, a whole bunch of us went out to dinner to celebrate!

We had dinner at “Poppy Thai” in Richmond, and there were approximately 12 of us dolls that were able to make it, AND I was the only blonde {except for Anna}!

We must have made a bit of noise because we had so much fun.

You know me, I am a foodie, but forgot to take a photo of my Starter, which was “Poh Pieh Puck”, eight vegetarian spring rolls with vermicelli and vegetables, served with sweet sauce.

For my Main, I had “Pad Priew Wan” Poppy Thais’ sweet and sour sauce home made to perfection then stir fried with fresh seasonal vegetables with Chicken ...

And of course I had to have Dessert, which was “Chocolate Lava Cake”, served with Ice Cream, Strawberries and a Passionfruit Coulis … oh yum!!! ...

Now back to the gorgeous card…

I have been wanting to try out my new set of Dies, the “Sizzix Gatefold with Jar Pop-Up”, and this was the perfect occasion.

I also got to try out some of my new stamps sets from the new Occasions Catty,  ”Birthday Blooms”, “Grateful Bunch”, and “Timeless Textures”. 
The "Timeless Textures" stamp set is great for layering images, here I stamped firstly in Sahara Sand, then overlaid the next stamp in Tip Top Taupe ...

I added a belly band to the card, as it sat better with it.   As you can imagine, the card was very full in textures with all those flowers!

I also added a Tag, so Megan can also use this as a Bookmark later on!

All in all, I was very pleased with the way this card turned out.

And of course the pressie was wrapped in re-purposed Stampin’ Up! packing paper, with a belly band that has been embossed, and some colour co-ordinated butterflies with my signature Pearls added! 

Hmmmm … what shall I make tomorrow?!!!

The “Sky Is The Limit”!!!
