Handmade Holiday This Weekend and Class Sign Ups NOW

My Handmade Holiday event at my studio is almost here. If you're a local in the San Francisco Bay Area I hope you can join us on Sunday, December 14 from 11-4.

Also classes are up on the website and ready for enrollment. I am really excited about the classes on the schedule. An exciting addition to the regular jewelry classes are classes on SEWING! That's right! It's time I share my sewing knowledge through simple and fun projects that are perfect for the beginner. The first class is a great tote bag with leather shoulder strap. More sewing classes to come (including QUILTING!)

*** A giveaway winner was picked!*** Comment 6 wins the pearls. Congrats Lee. The pearls are yours. Email me your address and I will mail them out!

Hi All!
As you may have heard, I have started doing a live feed on Fridays from my studio. The segments include a variety of topics, mostly centered around what I have on my workbench.

I am using the Periscope App to broadcast, and then I upload each segment to my YouTube channel. They are pretty fun, and it seems that you guys like them too, which makes me super happy.

I have just uploaded the one from earlier today. I have embedded it here. You can find the entire series on my YouTube channel. Give it a follow and you will be notified each time there is a new upload.


I also shared a cool promo I received from Swarovski. It is a sample set of all of their crystal pearls. It's pictured below.

If you would like to have it for your very own, leave a comment below and I will randomly choose a winner on Monday and send it over to you.

Also more info coming next week on the new classes for 2016 at the studio and don't forget to mark your calendars for my open studio holiday jewelry sale event and FREE Make & Take on Sunday December 13. More info here.

Thanks for watching! And hope to see some local friends next Sunday.
