Now how cute is this fabric necklace?

Sooo super easy... I'm going to try it. I'm sure I have plenty of jersey tee's that can be donated to the cause... I'm only getting bigger and bigger.

I'm really counting on Sydney from the DayBook to give me some maternity dress suggestions. We are due around the same time and I'm pretty sure she won't go for something that looks like a frumpy-old-woman dress...

Houndstooth?! Yes please!!

Back on Etsy!!

I am back on Etsy selling necklaces! If there's a necklace you'd like but do not see, please let me know!

A new chapter is beginning in my family. Baby BOY number 4 is on his way AND we moved!! I am so excited to have a fresh start!

Now I need to decorate a house double the size of my old one (and I didn't decorate my last house at all) and I need to pump myself up to buy boy stuff for the 4th time. Good thing I can always rely on Baby Gap to provide me with some cute baby boy clothes.

I have tons of pictures saved on my computer of things I'd LOVE to do with my new home but I'm pretty sure I don't have an unlimited budget.

Where I've been.....

2010-09-23T12:52:00.003-07:00

I've taken a much needed hiatus from making necklaces. Sometimes making something and sharing it with others is really fulfilling and sometimes... well, it's just not. I have a lot of AMAZING customers who buy repeatedly and refer others, and I am truly grateful. There are a select few who have made this little business of mine somewhat frustrating and frankly, not fun. I decided when it wasn't fun, I wasn't going to do it.

I am still making necklaces for those who need something special for a loved one, friend or themselves. I am just not trying to grow this hand stamped jewelry business any longer. With the increase in orders, I have less time with my children (this is not a hobby you can do while your kids are napping... hammers kind of ruin it). If I'm going to spend less time with my children, it would REALLY have to be worth it, and honestly, what could be more important than my 3 boys....?

If you need to order, for now, you can send an email with your requests to:

alittlepearl @ yahoo . com

Thanks!!!

Still alive and kicking... enjoying our last week of summer vacation before the kids start school. It's definitely cliche to say but time really does seem to fly the older my children get. I really enjoy being able to stay home with them and watch them grow... wish they made a pill to stop that (the growing that is!).

I made this necklace for a good friend's birthday and love how it turned out. She's a little bit funky mixed with a lot of polish (don't even get me started on the cleanliness and organization that goes on in her house... it'd make you depressed, amazed, motivated, realistic and back to depressed all in one shot). Love ya AC!

The guitar pick has now received upgraded packaging! I love these little tins.

Graduation gift | hand stamped jewelry | a little pearl

2010-05-26T14:07:00.003-07:00

I have been making quite a few teacher/graduation necklaces lately. I LOVE this time of year!!! Summer is so much fun, well beside the fact that it gets blazing hot in AZ... I love going to the lake, vacations to visit family in Colorado, swimming lessons, etc. Here is a picture of a necklace I did for a good friend... it turned out super cute and I hope her sister lOvEs it!

Her idea was to use the phrase "reach for the stars" and although we are missing a star (it took longer than expected to ship) it still turned out sweet and funky.

I need this!

Ummmm.... could this wallpaper be anymore awesome? I think not. Not to mention the baseboards and chair....

The Mother's Day rush this year was crazy! I am exhausted from making so many necklaces. I've fallen asleep on the couch at 9:00 the past couple nights which has sort of annoyed my husband. But taking care of my three children AND stamping a milllion necklaces (yes I am over exaggerating, slightly) has taken it's toll. He says it's reminiscent of our honeymoon when I fell asleep at 6:30 our third night? Whaaaaat?! Puhleez.... okay, so it happened and I'm not proud of it but it's been almost 8 years. Can't we let it go? No?

Anyway, I'm happy to say that I have mailed all your jewelry. Check back in a few days for a sneak peek of a NEW necklace that I am excited about!!

I have these guitar picks... just sitting here. Doing no one any good (especially guitar players). I want to stamp a clever phrase/quote/saying but feel creatively-challenged. Sooo... I was thinking, if YOU can come up with something clever that I like, I will stamp one for you FREE of charge and will send it to you.

Look... totally sad don't you think? He/she needs a good home....

Life has been super crazy lately.... eye surgeries have taken a small chunk of time away (like almost all of January and half of February) but this 20/15 vision is nothing to complain about! I am working on new necklaces and even some things for men so stay tuned!!!
