I made 4 more pieces today. I also added 7 to my goal and took away 2. So, really I added 5. I decided to make a couple lanyards and eyeglass chains, and also decided rings were a waste of my time.
Today's creations include interchangeable clip on and pierced earrings, a bracelet and an eyeglass chain.
Total made so far: 24. Remaining needed for goal by 9/11: 56. I think I can do it.
Orders can be requested from pictures, but no guarantees are made that the piece will be available. All pieces are different. Custom orders accepted. Prices negotiable, 50% used to buy more beading materials and 50% donated to an ovarian cancer organization. Email me at janinemkr@gmail.com for order requests! RIP Rita Ann 7/1/2001

Sets of matching sets
I made more jewelry today. I finally got a chance to use the stuff I bought on Sunday! And boy, did I use them. I think there is only one thing that didn't get incorporated somehow, and I'm sure I will find a use for it soon. :)
I'm trying to do the stuff that takes the longest each time I make a batch, such as necklaces and bracelets. Unfortunately, they're also the things that are most popular, so I have to make more of them than most other things. I've got two jewelry making parties scheduled for September before the respective run/walks.
I made 5 pieces total, with a matching set of pierced earrings (can be interchanged), bracelet and necklace and a matching set of clip-on earrings (can be interchanged) and a necklace.

Organization keeps me sane
I ran to Wal-Mart and bought some more beading supplies (btw, you do not want to be in Wal-Mart when the power goes out. The generators last 20 minutes and people go hysterical trying to check out, not to mention the associate coming over the PA every 30 seconds telling everyone to make their final selections). I also mega-reorganized.
I'm hoping that if I stay organized through the run/walks, it will go much smoother in the long run.

Teal jewelry 7/22/2011-7/23/2011
A request was made on Facebook for pictures of my jewelry. I was already thinking about starting a teal blog, and that made up my mind. This year, my events are the one for the Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Ohio in Columbus on 9/11 and for Ovar'coming in Indy on 9/24. The past two days I have made 14 pieces, toward my goal of 75 additional pieces for a total of 120 pieces. I sold 29 in 2009, and I'm hoping to sell more than that this time around at each, so I wanted to make sure I would have more than enough.
Today I made 3 necklaces, 3 pairs of earrings (2 pierced, 1 clip on...can be interchanged), 1 keychain, 2 cell phone charms, 3 bracelets (1 large enough to be a possible ankle bracelet) and 2 book thongs.
I used the double carrick knot that I taught myself for the wedding favors on the keychain and cell phone charms. I actually made a third cell phone charm, but it's now on my phone. :) I think it looks like a support ribbon.
Bracelets were far and away my most popular item in 2009, so I'm going to be making a ton of them. Personally I'm not a fan...they irritate my arm when I'm writing or typing or really just doing anything. But, I'm not selling to me. :)
