MY PEACE of JEWELRY - "Skinny" Pants

Now is the perfect time to wear suede pants. It's cool outside, but not raining, so you can't damage the fabric with wet marks.

I've had these red leather suede pants, since my mid-20s; that's almost 20 years ago! A little embarrasing but when I bought them, I could not even get them over my hips. They were my "skinny" pants. Women know what I am talking about by "skinny" pants. Maybe not all women, but basically ones who have struggled with their weight. "Skinny" pants are THE PAIR you buy EVEN THOUGH they don't fit at the time BUT promise ONESELF that "I will lose the weight!" to be able to FIT into the bloody pants! Guess what? I lost the weight! I've kept the "skinny" pants ever since and still can fit into them. My goal for November 2011 is to lose 10lbs ;) Maybe not all 10 pounds in November but will have lost a few. A pound a week or two is my goal. I am not interested in losing too fast because the faster you lose it the faster it comes back.

MANNEQUIN - DIY

Image
UPDATE a/o May 2012 Because I love to work with my hands and create a variety of things. I thought I could make my own mannequins.  I used the paper mache' technique to make my mine. See below for step by step on how to make your own WO-MANNEQUIN Materials : Grocery bags, wallpaper paste and tape. Tools required: brush, box cutter, plastic wrap Grocery bags Bags from my local store Wallpaper paste (premixed) purchased from hardware store Boxcutter purchased from hardware store Method : Papier-mâché technique What is Papier-mâché? It's French for chewed-up paper due to it's appearance. In this case, torn-up appearance. I used a main mannequin as the frame to create MY PEACE of JEWELRY WO-MANNEQUINs.

How to Choose the Right Earrings for your Face Shape

Image
I love to make jewelry; earrings included. But I have to admit not every style is right for every Woman. Depending on your face shape some earrings types are better than others. The types of earrings you wear should depend on your FACE shape. The four basic shapes are highlighted below. SQUARE SHAPE What is a square-shaped face? - sides of your face will be straight - face will be nearly as wide as it is long - your jawline will be defined, with only a minimum curve                                                                        - strong jawline                                                                      Best EARRINGS for square-shaped face - earrings with rounded designs - elongated earrings, especially under the chin line - dangling earrings - hoop earrings These styles are considered excellent because they add a softness to the facial angles *avoid very wide, bulky, square earrings Famous square-shaped  face celebrities

Getting started...

Image
I've been making or stringing beads together for years. I am not exactly sure how I started making jewelry. Oh yeah! I got started because I've always collected beads. I liked going to bead shops and bought beads that appealed to me then would place in empty pickle jars and store them on my shelfs at home. After a while I had so many beads that I needed to do something with them, which was the obvious - make jewelry. I bought some how-to books and that is how I got started. A few years back, friend of mine, who worked at Fox, encouraged me to let her sell my stuff at their Xmas bazaar. I was pleasantly surprised - I sold quite a few items. My friend was so cool. Here is a photo of the display table that she put together. Since then, I have never actually tried to sell my jewelry. But now I want to start. I created a catalog and the name of my jewelry line is MY PEACE of JEWELRY - pretty catchy. I don't have a website. It's too expensive and there are so many websites n
