new jewellery!
Hi everyone!Over the holidays, I made lots of new jewellery and I decided to give you a preview of what's going to be up for sale in the coming days. Above is Mango Tango Fleur Necklace made with my handmade lampwork floral bead, Sterling silver, Swarovski crystals and a hand-dyed ribbon. I LOVE the colours.
This is Felicia, the beautiful deep honey-coloured kitty. Say hello! Felicia is handmade by me, etched for a velvety look and feel and I hand-wired her with Sterling silver, Swarovski crystals and a gorgeous hand-dyed ribbon. It's hard to tell from the picture, but the ribbon is stitched with sparkly golden thread!
Prince is a gorgeous sophisticat in shades of purple and aqua and I paired him with another hand-dyed string in similar colours. This necklace finishes with a beautiful Sterling silver 'S' clasp. 
How do you take your tea? I like mine with milk and two sugars, thanks! I created this adorable bead to resemble a cup of milky tea. I hand-wired the bead into a pendant using all Sterling silver and it hangs from an 18" Sterling silver snake chain.
Could Bettina the kooky bunny be any cuter? I added my popular 'kooky' style eyes to my bunny bobble design and OMGoodness! How adorable! I wired Bettina into a pendant with Sterling silver and Swarovski crystals. She's perfect for spring and Easter!
I also made a few owl pendants including the lovely Amy pictured here. I created Amy with amethyst-coloured glass and gave her plenty of personality! She makes a super sweet pendant :)Everything pictured above and MUCH more will be going up for sale on my various sites (I haven't quite decided yet.. I may just post a few things on each different site!) this week so remember to check back often.
Don't forget you can always sign up for my mailing list where you will receive notification whenever I list new items (no more than one notification per week, don't worry!) I also send a notification to my mailing list whenever I have a giveaway! Speaking of which, it's been quite a long time since I've had a giveaway. So, let me ask for a little feedback!
In a giveaway, would you like a bead or a finished piece of jewellery? Please leave your preference as a comment below and this will decide my next giveaway!
Hope you're all having a wonderful week :)
Love,
keiara

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
Hi everyone!
I'll take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy St. Patrick's Day and also finally post a pic of new dreads :) I was supposed to have green dreads (and, oh, it's the most gorgeous wool!) but I couldn't quite get all the pink out of my hair so I put in the Easter dreads early. I've had a ridiculous amount of compliments on the colour but, truthfully, I'm not diggin' it. I just don't think I like too-bright, neon-y colours and these really are over the line. They're certainly cheerful though!
Anyway, back to St. Patrick's Day! I LOVE St. Patrick's Day. It's so much fun to get all decked out in my green accessories. I decorate the house too! I have tons of beautiful decorations from the wonderful, beautiful, terribly talented Shelley of Prairie Cottage Rose. She makes fantastic runners, ornaments, crocheted things and more. I absolutely adore her (and her work!). This year's jewellery adornments are from various lovely ladies: custom hair clips and brooch by Betty of Designed By Betty Shek, custom button necklace (and matching bracelet) by Collette of Noodlefish, gorgeous felted heart pendant by Meli of Stemellina (she has multiple shops - check them all out!) and an AMAZING felt bangle with clover embroidery (I should really take a picture) by my favourite fiber artist and good friend, Debbie, of Felter's Journey. Whew! Yeah, I really get into my holidays! I want to thank ALL of these ladies for their continued patience and willingness to accommodate all my custom requests too. You're all amazing and talented and I love you!
Ok, gushing over.. for now ;) Hope you all have a wonderful day! Lots of love and luck to you :)
Love,
keiara

Sakura
Hi everyone!I was asked to create one of my Sakura trees and matching bracelet lentils for a specific wedding outfit. The lovely customer asked for brighter blossoms than my usual so I made some deliciously bright pink encased stringer and hoped for the best. What do you think? My sweet customer is pleased with them and so am I! I really like the brighter pink against the black and white.
I just received a huge order of felted beads so watch this space for some new jewellery designs!
Have a great day :)
Love,

a week from today!
It's just one week from today that I'll be on a plane to Florida!!! I can't WAIT to see everyone :) There's this super cute face that I miss so much.. my daughter, Kaia. She'll be travelling down from Tampa to stay with me at my mom's house during the Thanksgiving holiday. I can't wait to squeeze her until her eyes pop out! Hey, you would too.. don't you SEE that face?!?
And I'll be seeing Mom and my sister, Leah. Hopefully Mom will take us to Jaxson's again which is where this picture was taken. Leah just moved into a new house with her boyfriend, Eric, and I can't WAIT to see her new place! I'm so happy for her :) Mom is also doing pretty good and has recently been getting back into the dating game. Good for you, Mom! I can't wait to give them tons of hugs.. and to eat lots of Mom's fabulous cookin' :) Leah even bought me a ticket to go see the Rangers game (ice hockey)!! What a great sister <3
And no visit would be complete without some quality time spent with my best friend, my anam cara, the other half of my soul.. Emi. It seems aaaaages since I've seen her.. even though it was really just in April! Emi has three kids (which are basically like my 'second' kids lol) and I can't wait to see them too. A big 'thank you' to Emi's fiance, David, for always putting up with the two of us :) In April when I couldn't travel to see Emi, David arranged for all of them to come down and stay near my mom's house! What a guy, huh? I can't wait to see you, Emi! <3As far as what this means to you, my lovely customers and friends: My website shop will be on hold starting this Friday and will return on Friday, December 4th. My Etsy shop is also 'on vacation' until my return. I WILL be accepting custom orders while I'm away though! All orders will be on a first come, first served basis and will be created upon my return. This means that I will START all custom orders received during my trip on Friday, December 4th. Please note that my lead time may be slightly longer than usual but hopefully still within 5 - 7 business days. If my lead time gets longer than that, I will notify you PRIOR to accepting your order, so no worries :) I hope that all makes sense ;)
I have new Ready To Go - Beads! and Ready To Go - Jewellery! in my shop right now! I also have some lovely new key focals up for grabs! All orders received up to Friday will be mailed before I leave.. so if you see something you like, feel free to snap it up ;)
I suppose I should probably start getting things together for my trip.. but I'm still so busy making beads! Speaking of which, think I'll light my torch now.. ;)
Have a great day!
Love,
keiara
