So much has changed in this one year. First things first.. I now have a baby boy! He truly makes my heart go pitter patter. He has brought many moments of laughter and tears. He’s a kind old soul that just wants to smile and run! He started walking at 8 months old. But, because I’ve been so busy with Alexander and of course Isabel.. and do not forget Sarah! I’ve not had time to spend time with my lovely beads.. until recently. I’ve recently gotten everything in place to begin again my love, my craft. Let me tell you what I’ve been playing with… Beautiful miyaki seed beads. I’ve been creating French Beaded Flowers.. This is one of my first..

From Vintage Mom Creations.. Little Pink FlowerSo much is coming into my heart and mind now.. I just don't have enough time in the day to create all of my thoughts! But, avid reader.. prepare for an arresting amount of delicious beaded pleasure coming soon.. my heart can't be contained for long!As a side note I thought I'd share my newest photo of Ms. Isabel ( she's the one with down syndrome that many of you have grown to love) she's now 4 years old and a wonderful big sister. One of my best friends Joy created this wonderful piece of digital art for me ( you can find her on the internet by searching "Goddessjoy" she makes WONDERFUL jewelry.. and is an artist I guarentee you will love.. her link is also listed on this page) anyway.. here is my baby girl now.. Isabel~our down syndrome princess!

It’s hard to believe an entire year has passed so quickly! It seems like just yesterday I was furiously wrapping gifts and shipping orders and preparing for Santa Claus. But.. here we are again. Black Friday is on the horizon.
If you are anything like me.. your palms get damp.. your mind is rushing along the lists.. and you are looking for DEALS. Savings. We just don’t have the money this year to be hasty. No junk for us, thanks. We want CUSTOM at a fair price. Handmade with Quality.
I’m here to let you know.. I’m feeling you. And I’m coming up with solutions. I want you to be able to have a wonderful personalized gift for your special someone for an affordable price. I have started marking items at sale prices. I will also be in my studio for the next two weeks upping my stock. So that I can offer you fresh choices, new styles. Quality Custom Jewelry for a fair price.
At this point I have some custom items all ready featured. Dreamer is one of my favorites.
It is one of my hopes that my clients can feel comfortable enough to contact me and let me know what you would like your pendant to say.
Are you a mother? A Maiden? A crone?
If you notice the first photo listed at the top of the page.. This custom mother’s necklace is like no other you have ever seen huh? I wear this one. Those are my kiddos. Now tell me? What do you picture yourself wearing? Your mother? NOW is the time to get those orders in. Those ideas and thoughts flowing. ORDER soon. Christmas is NEXT month folks. I DO have layaway available for large items. ( keeping in mind that I’m not shipping till the item is paid in full.. I think that’s fair don’t you?)
I’m looking forward to this Christmas holiday. ( well, as an artist I am.) I’m looking forward to creating wonderful items that will make you or your family/ friends feel great. In the next week I will be posting gifts for coachs, teachers, friends and family . If you don’t see what you are looking for.. please don’t hesitate to send me an email! familyleafcatcher@yahoo.com OR if you are already on Etsy just send me a convo.
