Knit necklace

I fell in love with knitted necklace's quite some time ago. So i set out to learn to make them for myself. I failed at learning to knit. But!! Knifty knitter has been wonderful to me :) Last night while watching a movie with my boyfriend, i was determined to make one for myself. After some fidgeting with my knitting tools, and knifty knitter tools, a few mishaps later and I finally figured out how to make it. I wore it proudly today and It will definitely continue to be apart of my wardrobe!

I used a small 4 peg loom, not a knifty knitter one, but still a loom. And 3 different yarns. I love how it turned out.




Hope everyone has a terrific day.

Poxie Jewelry on display at The Bean Pole

I finally finished my display at the Bean Pole in downtown Hickory. My boyfriend made a cute sign to hang, and I packaged and priced everything. It's so neat to have my jewelry hanging in an actual store for people to purchase. And it's already made a few sales! I had to go take some replacement items yesterday. Here's a few pics of my display!





The first and last image were taken by the shop owners for their website, I took the middle one yesterday with my cell phone so it's not great quality.  But you get the idea!   Now I need to go make more peas in a pod necklaces because those are what people want!


Have a wonderful day!

Snow!

I woke up today to a lovely surprise.  We had about 2-3 inches of snow on the ground.  It's still snowing heavily and isn't expected to stop anytime soon!  I love the snow.  It's so beautiful and fun.  I thought I would share a few pics of how its looking here!





I live in a Townhouse surrounded by other townhouses.  So a lot of these pictures are my neighbors homes.  But all the same anyways.  Hope everyone has a lovely day and enjoys the snow, If you have some your way.

New Items!

Here's a peep at a few more items available now at poxiejewelry.etsy.com







I am more of a night owl, and currently unemployed.  So every night I stay up really late and craft or write or work on my website.  While crafting I like to have Netflix playing in the background.  The only problem is I finish one show after another and then I run out of things to watch.  My younger sister mentions a show called Greek, and after only 3 episodes I was absolutely hooked.  So my time has been spent creating jewelry and watching numerous episodes of this series.  If you're into college drama, a bit of humor, and some serious scandals, You should check it out.  But be warned, the man in your life will probably dislike it!



That's all for this post.  Expect a tutorial or two soon.

Jewelry Hanger Corkboard

Materials:
 Glue Gun
Staple Gun
Fabric
Pearl Beads
Lace
Scissors
Nails

I made this To hang all my many necklaces on!  It was fairly simple to make.  I chose my fabric and lace first.  I stapled the fabric to the board. the lace was just glued on.  I made the fabric flower out of my scraps and glued it on.  The "thumb tacks" were made by putting a Small nail through a pearl bead, and then through the cork board.  I think it came out very lovely.  And I cannot wait to hang it on my wall.
