My New Hobby!

I have recently picked up a new hobby which I absolutely love! Anytime I have spare time I totally immerse myself in jewelry making. This is a brand new thing for me so I am learning as I go, but it has been so therapeutic. Jon and I have been so incredibly busy with getting things ready for our move and working on selling the house. Today we actually had the painters, the electrician and the movers here at the same time. As we were working with all three the realtor calls to let us know we had an offer on the house. It was so hilarious how much was going on at one moment! But we worked through it. The offer wasn't exactly what we wanted so our house is still on the market! But I have faith we will have a great offer soon. This house is too cute to pass up. But back to jewelry making, I find it so relaxing and I really love creating and making these beautiful pieces of art! Well at least I think they are beautiful ;) I love little side hobbies and being creative. I guess I've always had a creative side. Jon helped with a couple and Brian really liked the leaf necklace!
So, I thought I'd post some pictures to share with you guys.

I thought this picture was classic! Jon and Brian Modeling the jewelry!
They are two silly characters ;)
