Hey everyone! My current craft projects have been revolving a lot around jewellery and I’m highly considering making a light box for photography purposes – the weather’s been drab today and I had really wanted to get some photos taken of my recent jewellery creations!

I have been working on a new layout for this website, it’s going to be a little bit less blog-ish, I think, once I’m done and a little bit more into showcasing my crafts – jewellery and crochet work. As well as the packaging that I’m working on for those as well. It’s rather awesome what one can do with cardstock and a printer. I’ve also been deciding if I want to keep ‘Chelle-Chelle.com’ (which would end up on any jewellery packaging that I do…) or to pick another name.

Decisions decisions…

But at least I think the new layout is almost done!

Just written today and titled “About You”, please click here to check it out.

I’ve been working on some new crochet projects recently, so I’m hoping to get them done soon and get some photos up.

The Kay Blue earrings were designed and created for a friend’s birthday gift. They feature light blue curved, foil lined glass beads, silver tone eyepins, silver tone chains and sterling silver earring hooks. They measure over 3″ in length.

“When the Stars Go Blue” is named after a song. The necklace is made with a upcycled wire-wrapped star with curled wire and glass translucent blue seed beads as its focal point. Silver plated spacers, blue rounded bicone glass beads, silver plated eyepins and chain were used for this piece. A decorative silver plated toggle clasp was used to finish off the piece. Total length is approximately 22″.

I have a coworker who’s going to be a dad soon. Whenever I’m working at the company and there’s someone new having a child, I seem to come up with something. Well, it’s only happened twice so far (while I’m employed, don’t really have time to come up with gifts when I’m in school and not finding out that people are going to have kids until like a month after it’s occurred). So here’s some photos of what I’ve come up with! (Picture heavy with 7 awesome shots of Mister Snuffles.)

And this is how it all begins…
