Well, if you are keeping track.....this makes the second blog post for the month!! That's right!  Now, I probably won't see you until July....no, I won't hold out that long!!! I wanted to give everyone an update on my business, Jude and everything else going on....I apologize now for the mix of pictures (at least the order of them!)  I can only do so much until Jude wakes up from a nap....and I stay up late making jewelry so  I can't do my blogging then.  In fact I am also trying to branch out with a website for my crafts and jewelry since they are continuing to sell so good!!! It's really exciting!!  Who would have thought the hospital shifts would have prepared me for jewelry making at midnight or one a.m.  (even Jude lets me sleep....do I take advantage of it?....no....oh, well, I know I'll pay for it one day!!)

Some of the array of crafts I've been making and selling!!
Vintage spoon and fork hooks.....

My ever popular skeleton key necklaces....I will post a few, but I don't have time to post them all!  If you live in Johnstown, stop by EcoKids to see the rest - the display is always changing!!!


A custom piece I did for a special friend of mine...

Thrift store mirror.....

Becomes shabby chic!

Button earrings

Decorative ladder....



Get's a facelift!


Vintage frame becomes a necklace display for the store....





Spoon plant/herb markers....hoping to make more soon~


And of course the STAR of the blog....Jude the dude hanging out at the park!!!

Swinging and loving it~

Hey, mom....it's a bus!!!  (One of his many fascinations these days...in fact, he knows the sound of it in the morning and I have to pick him up to the window to see them!)
Our little man (17 months already!!! )

He really is the king of the chair.....

He probably just saw cars and trucks go by...hence, why he is soooooo excited!!!!
