It’s time to vote in the next Creative Color Challenge!

For February, we’re choosing between two brand-new palettes:
Palette #212 (Vol. 1)
vs.
Palette #476 (Vol. 2)

I’ve pulled both color cards and will be creating a full jewelry design based on the winning palette. The design video — along with the coordinating Creative Color Challenge Collection — will be released after the poll closes.

Voting is open now and will run through the end of the day on the 21st. Be sure to cast your vote before it closes!

I cannot wait to see which direction we go this month. Each palette has such a different personality, and I already have ideas forming for both.

Go vote and help decide what I’ll be designing next!

So - being a new mom to a quite cute puppy ... I'm not having a live today 😔 🐕‍🦺 I have forgotten how much time it takes to train a puppy and I feel that I need to spend this time with him today. I'll be back in two weeks for the next live and I will do a live tutorial that day too!! Don't forget to check out the videos I've done over the last 2 weeks if you haven't seen them yet!

✨ Today’s video drops at NOON! ✨

I’m unboxing the Australian Picture Jasper (Noreena Jasper) collection from Gemstone Orphanage, and I couldn’t stop creating — so I made five different earring designs using this box.

If you love earthy gemstones, cohesive bead collections, and jewelry inspiration, you won’t want to miss this one. See you at noon! 💎

Today’s video goes live at 12 noon!

This asymmetrical Kind Heart necklace tutorial was designed to pair perfectly with the Flower Pot earrings from the TGBE unboxing. I’ll show how to create the focal drop and then build two different patterns on each side of the necklace using beads from the Soft Flex Kind Heart collection. 

Let me know what you think of the asymmetrical layout.

Join me LIVE on the 29th at 2 PM CST for another Design & Unwind Live!

Grab a cozy drink and settle in for a relaxed afternoon of jewelry making, creative conversation, and behind-the-scenes updates from the studio.

During this live stream, I’ll start by chatting a bit about the weather and what it’s been like here lately, then I’ll go over the jewelry and projects I’ve completed over the last two weeks, including close-up looks at recent designs and finished pieces. I’ll also share what’s coming up next on the channel and in the studio over the next couple of weeks, including upcoming videos, projects, and creative plans.

After that, we’ll shift into live project time, where I’ll work on one or two jewelry projects while chatting with you in real time. This is a relaxed, interactive space where you can ask questions, share what you’re working on, or simply unwind and enjoy some creative bead chat.

This live is perfect for anyone who enjoys DIY jewelry making, bead weaving, handmade jewelry, and creative livestreams.

📅 Live on the 29th | 2 PM CST
🔔 Set a reminder and come design & unwind with me!

I challenged myself to see how many earrings I could make from the January 2026 Bargain Bead Box, Arctic Aurora. The result is six different designs using both bead weaving and wire working. If you enjoy creative challenges and earring inspiration, this one’s for you.
