Weekend Wants!

I want to start a new feature format Weekend Wants, which I think will help get more exposure than Thursday features. It will showcase a few things that I've seeked out on Etsy and really want!

I'm starting this week with some of those who has commented on the last Thursday Feature.

Circle in The Sand -Buttons Supplies Needlework Scrapbooking HomeDecor

This Etsy shop has some really nice vintage buttons. Here I found this lot of 12 buttons. I can so imaging a really sassy cuff made with these!





AriDesigns Studios

Aridesign has some real chic stuff! I love this Green Mandala Bangle made with decoupage. Will look real nice with a green or blue summer dress!

Lovely necklace! Reminds me of the beach... you must see it closer up as the details show better.

Versatile Necklace IN THE MAKING

If you've seen my work in progress pictures, this was what I was making. It is a versatile necklace, worn 5 ways as a necklace and 2 ways as an adjustable bracelet (17/20cm).

It still needs some fine tuning to ensure safety when wearing and needs to be photographed. Here are some photos of the necklace in action.

Standard lenght

Four other ways to wear it.

WIP - Work In Progress

I have 2 on going project at the moment. First is a necklace/chocker/bracelet and the other is a Chinese styled lamb shank stew. It is my first time making them both! So pray for me!

Lamb shanks is in the pot for 2hours now and needs another 1 hr.


3 - 4 more links and I am done. After some fine tuning and testing, this little piece is ready for some photos!

RedRubyonFire on Etsy Major Overhaul

My Etsy shop - RedRubyonFire - has undergone a major change! I've decided to list some of my hobby pieces and have been making more over the last few days. Here are some.

My style is a little medieval/renaissance but simple not to be to over the top. It's like a medieval meets minimalist look.

I am in the process of looking for more findings and beads. Once my shop picks up you will see slightly bolder pieces. I am hoping that it will be soon!

Please drop by and let me know what you think! Thank you!
