The Good News: Murder, She Wrote is on all afternoon on Hallmark Mystery. The Bad News: It's season 6. #IYKYK

Someone remind me to stop checking me email before bed. Feeling caught up for the night ≠ The not so slight chance of getting some really bad news

Somewhere along the line, people started coming to me for advice on working with metal clay, because somewhere along the line I apparently became an authority figure on the subject, which is very strange, because Is still feel like I have SOOO much more to learn...

Is it bad that I use my treadmill solely to play music while I work? In my defense, Bluetooth connectivity wasn't even one of the reasons I bought it, and didn't even know it was an option for months.

Please give me strength, I'm about to teach my mother about phone widgets.

Another custom piece I did, which actually turned into inspiration for a new piece. The customer want a "twist tie wrapped around a silver bar". I offered them 3 different sketches and they LOVED this one. In figuring out how to make a silver twist tie, the heart design sort of came to me. #BSNM

Timeless & One of a kind, just like your love. Each piece is handcrafted using recycled silver & real rose leaves, so no two designs will ever be alike. This year, why not get her roses that last forever? #ValentinesDay #BSNM #ArtisanMade #Jewelry https://buff.ly/3WKnHiS

The weather tomorrow for Punxsutawney, PA. Why does it just seem rigged to me? #GroundhogDay #GroundhogDay

10+ years of making jewelry, I still don't feel anywhere near an "expert" But the last few years I've been able to help a bunch of people in my jewelry group with questions they have on their learning journey. Which I'm always happy to do. Within reason, of course. I girl's gotta have some secrets😉

Congratulate me! I was just doubly rejected by Artrider to get into two higher end craft shows later this year. Technically though, they put me on a waitlist, 25th at one show & 35th at the other. But neither show even has that many jewelry artists, and it's the same sellers every year. #Gatekeeping

A quick reminder that even though Kay Jeweler has their commercial air during EVERY SINGLE commercial break, there are other places to buy jewelry for Valentine's Day. Or any other day for that matter. *Kermit flails to get your attention* I even do custom. https://buff.ly/4j7892f

That's right, I still snicker at the mere mention of a ball-peen hammer. No, I don't have the mind of a 12 year old (in this case anyway) but I do know it's been pretty tough out there lately and you've gotta find joy where you can.

I'm sorry, does Kay Jewelers now sell Ring Pops? How am I supposed to compete with that?

Thinking of a sunny summer garden and nice, warm gold on an otherwise freezing, overcast day. I handcrafted this tiny grape pendant in 22k gold using a real leaf, meaning it's one of a kind. https://buff.ly/3CucwE7 #BSNM #ArtisanJewelry #Handcrafted

Just kind of felt like putting these here today...

I'll never understand my phone's camera and the app I use to track my packages. When I try to frame the barcodes nice and steady to scan them my phone doesn't read it. But when I'm fumbling around and the barcode barely passes by the lens it picks it up perfectly. #SmallBusinessOwner

Anyone else having trouble with the USPS website? I went to pay for my PO box but it keeps telling me my card information is wrong. I tried 3 different credit cards and Click to Pay and it still won't go through.

Anyone else having problems with Shopify payments not going through? It's been a week and it still doesn't even say pending or processing or anything. The money's just sitting there. And before you ask, I do have it set to daily payouts. #SmallBusinessOwner

If you've been on the fence about picking up some of my sized silicone mandrels for ring making, NOW is the time. I just found out my supplier is no longer in business, I don't have much silicone left, and don't know how soon I will find a replacement. Yay... forgedmettlejewelry.com/collections/...
