the gracie headband.....

my good ol' friend colleen got one of my headbands and i am oh so fond of her new haircut and color. doesn't this make you want to chop your hair off???!!!!

the benefits of storms....

im sure you have all heard of the big storm that passed through northern california yesterday. it hit us hard, luckily we regained electricity after 6 hours (some people still dont have showers)...but when all you want is a good cup of hot tea and you go to boil water, and realize..."oh wait, we dont have power!!" we even watched a branch fly off of our tree and land in our yard, we were quite entertained by people running to their cars with the wind playing tug-a-war with their umbrellas. needless to say i was miserable for a while and yet i had plenty of time to work on some creations, some stuff i just got prepped while i wait for supplies...but come this weekend i will update a whole lot of stuff on my etsy:) quite a few of the items sold will also be added back too!

back at home:) working on some more jewelry to add on this week.
i can't thank people enough for all the support and encouragement...i plan on adding up the amount at the end of the month and after costs are taken out, sending the money away to help others:) i have been so excited over the response of people wanting to donate that i want to stay up all night and make stuff to sell and give....the problem with that: the lack of heat in my workspace in the garage could lead to pneumonia. i may have to invest in a mini space heater.

p.s. if you see an item you want in the sold items just e-mail me or message me at hopevenessa@gmail.com and let me know and i can custom make one for you. thank you:)

some new fall designs.....
