What's New in August?

It’s that time of the year again!
We are having a birthday!

In honor of our 5th birthday, we are having all kinds of great sales over in our www.bluemorningexpressions.com store. I will be putting everything in the store on sale for the ENTIRE month!! Just remember though that many of our items are one of a kind and when they are gone, they are gone and will never be repeated again. I am in the process of making a lot of design changes this year and retiring many of my previous designs so if you see something that you like, be sure and snag it now.

I have 12 new bead kits on the site, most are for eyeglass leashes but I also added two new earring kits and one ladybug necklace kit. All feature my own unique beads so rest assured, you will not be getting a mass produced kit of beads that can be found just anywhere.


I took two weeks off to go and wander about the upper northwest of our beautiful country and came back refreshed, inspired and thankful for all the magnificent vistas that we are blessed to call home to. I took hundreds of photos and was inspired by new pallets that I don’t normally see everyday.

Once you have gazed at the spectrum of colours radiating from the depths of the earth in Yellowstone or the stark beauty of the desert colours dashing across the landscape, you come away with a new pantone sample to create from. Photos will be posted on my website when I get a chance.

But back to work!

Waterslide Decals! I got 20 new sheets of designs up on the website, I used one for a heart that I did as an example. I was so happy with it that I intend to create a whole set of beads. I did make an error in the sizing of the decals so they are a bit too large for the moment but I will correct that soon.



www.bluemorningexpressions.com is very close to being complete. I have added a discontinued category for my old designs. Most of those are under $3.00. I also have been working on free instructions—I just am not getting as much done on those as I would like. I don’t sit down to write like I used to.

In my running around, I regrettably have neglected my other duties to my other sites so I need to focus on those sites here in the next few weeks. That means that new patterns on www.theseedbeadpatternstore.com and www.x-stitch-patterns.com have been set aside for a few and it also means that www.cliponearringsboutique.com has not been updated as promised. I will take care of those things very soon.

Thank you so much for all the input and emails. I enjoy all
the encouragement that you send my way.

Until next month,
Julie

What's New in July?

www.bluemorningexpressions.com is filling up slowly but surely. I am trying to at least put a couple items in the different categories so there is a small representative to what is to come. I know that there are a lot of categories that are still blank, but rest assured they will be filled!

I also have taken the time to get some new canes created. I did a couple kaleidoscope canes and one little white daisy for the fun of it. The kaleidoscopes are not in the store and one of them was used for a fund raiser necklace and earring set that I did. The other kaleidoscope's future is unknown at the moment.

Under Bead Kits, I now have two earring kits and one ladybug necklace kit. The ladybug comes with all the beads you need to create one necklace using my original ladybug polymer clay beads. The new earring kit consists of my cute little spiral tube beads and other goodies.

I am still juggling all the sites and keep moving from one to the other in no apparent order. I have a notebook full of new designs for www.x-stitch-patterns.com and am slowly but surely reworking loom patterns into peyote patterns for www.theseedbeadpatternstore.com. Both of those projects are scheduled to be done shortly. I also have some new earrings and designs ready for www.cliponearringsboutique.com.

Eyeglass Chain kits. I have the original one done and photos taken, I am now in the process of putting together my kits. I have all the main beads bagged and the findings together, but I am in the process of coordinating all the additional spacers and other goodies that will go in the kits. I have about a dozen of them about ready to go.

Charms and charm bracelets, please bear with me, I am working as fast as I can to get them completed and updated.

Waterslide decals. I have 20 designs up and thousands more to put together. I am working on cleaning up all my artwork from the last few years and putting these things together for use on polymer clay, candles, wood plaques and anything else you can think of to decorate.

I still have to put all the children’s jewelry up on the website, I have not even started that and I still have hundreds of earring designs that are not up yet.

I also am doing a lot of one of a kind buttons that I have spread out on my work bench right now and almost ready to upload. These are not made to order creations, they are one of a kind, when it’s gone, it’s gone type of buttons.
