Cynth's blog

Been away so long I hardly knew the place. Gee, it's good to be back home....   So, I found this draft when I logged in to blogger to delete spam comments. Thought I might as well post the p...

Autumn is my favorite time of the year. It might be because I loved trick-or-treating as a kid (all that free candy!). Or it could be because my birthday is in October. But I really think it's ju...

I recently made a purchase from Scorched Earth on etsy . Petra's ceramic sticks, drops and spikes are just fabulous! I put an order together with a certain design in mind, and for the most pa...

Recent jewelry to celebrate the season. No skull beads here...I like (and bought) colorful Czech sugar skull beads, but have yet to make anything with them. I guess I'm waiting for the right in...

My cousin and her husband recently came to town to visit my mother and me. We had a nice visit, but she came down with a cold, and was most interested in napping in the recliner! Trying to t...

We were on vacation last week. Really, a stay-cation. We got lots done around the house, but also did some day trips. We went to Bethlehem PA, which has a cute (but small) downtown shopping/eati...

Well, so much for keeping the blog going on a regular basis! I'll still try to do this, but will not beat myself up for not posting regularly. It will just be a once-in-a-while thing, and hopeful...

I've never been one to stop when there is more to be done or had. It's my downfall when potato chips are involved - LOL. But, when it comes to making jewelry, the more the better. I had another...

My friend Sheryl gives me old broken beaded necklaces to create new necklace designs for her. A few months back she gave me some Rose Quartz nuggets and a Rose Quartz and purple crystal beaded ...

What can I say? Blogging used to me more popular. Everyone's on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pintrest, etc. these days, so there are fewer and fewer blogs to read anymore. I still like to read ...

At the local gallery I am a member of (Orchard Artworks ), we will be having a special Renaissance/ Medieval/ Celtic themed show for July and August. We have guest artist Ellen Tepper joining ...

My friend Sheryl finds jewelry bargains every where she goes, or so it seems! She could keep me busy with project after project, well into my old age! hahaha. Last time we met, I gave her 2 neck...

I've been busy making jewelry, but my blog reader's wouldn't know it! I'm sorry about that. I need to slow down and take photos of everything! I had my annual Mother's Day trunk show at The Chel...

Preface: I guess I don't know how to "schedule" blog posts! I "scheduled" this to post on April 11. I just noticed that it was never posted. Rather than toss it, I'll post it now, for what it's w...

This blog is more about furniture these days than jewelry! LOL. First, all the talk about the Printer's Cabinet. It took all year, but I think I'm done talking about that. It's happily ever aft...

http://cynthsblog.blogspot.com/2017/04/good-bones.html

To re-cap, I got a printer's cabinet last spring from my neighbor. I cleaned it up then refinished the wood. In the process of cleaning, some of the drawers got splintery. So I lined those dr...

OK, so I have made a couple things with my loot from CJS in NYC. I've been busy since October filling my printer's cabinet. (here's the post about that ) I will write a post about the filled ca...

The minute I read a blog post (on Interweave's blog, in September I think) about CJS in NYC, a wholesale jewelry supplies warehouse, I dreamed of going there. It truly sounded like heaven to me....

It has been far too long since I've posted photos of jewelry. I have been making it. I just haven't been taking the time to snap photos for the blog! Sorry about that. Here's some simple neckl...

My mom had a huge sunflower plant come up in her garden this year. They were planted by a neighbor last year, and they are popping up all over the neighborhood this year. This plant has produce l...

I don't usually make a big deal about the 4th of July. I mean, not as far as it concerns jewelry. We go to family picnics, enjoy fireworks, do all the traditional stuff. But I don't go to great l...

A while ago, the folks at Znetshows  put out the call: show the versatility of our cultured sea glass !   While cultured sea glass beads are great for making jewelry (of course!), especi...

I'm humming the song "Message in a bottle, yea"... I got a request to make "message earrings". It's not really my thing. I make what the muse tells me to make. Most of the time. Sometimes, tho...
