I made this last night while watching Pushing Daisies:

It’s the first one I’ve made in almost 18 months. I dig it. I named it Missiletoe. KERPLOWIE!

My new fancy wire isn’t here yet, but I found almost 38ft of 26g sterling silver wire when doing an inventory of my beads. I don’t have very many crystals left, but I have enough semi-precious stones to bedazzle an army. I also found a huge pile of things I already made, but then put in a box and forgot about. I’ll take pictures and throw them up on Flickr later; some are kinda neat.

I suppose this means I’m back in the Purl Necklaces business. I frankly love the name far too much to let it die a painful death, and it’s definitely something to occupy my time – I don’t have time to be cranky and full of angst if I’m making shiny things and under cutting the competition. And I mean seriously undercutting, too – I am far too lazy to price things, so we’ll be dusting off the old “by donation” method. If you want something, let me know and we’ll chat. Pay whatever you think it’s worth (plus a couple bucks for postage), and it’ll be in the mail the next day. That’s it. I’m easy.

So, yeah. Splash your loved ones with a Purl Necklace today!

(hell yes I make myself laugh a lot)
