{New Lovlies}

Sorry about the yucky picture... The weather here has been less than stellar... This adorable necklace is for an expecting Mommy... They are the initials of her new sweet bundle of joy, that just so happens to be a boy!

This one is for a birthday present for someones niece. She has been studying German and her aunt thought this would be the perfect gift.... I do believe she is right! I must give props to my previous business partner, Kacey for this design- I do not know much about German... Kacey lived in Germany for a few years...

Heres The Deal Y'all

OK, so I am going to spill the beans.... I outed myself on my personal blog, so if you do not read it, I will go ahead and tell all of my lovely readers...

I am pregnant and due in September...

One BIG fact about the pregnancy is that I am VERY sick, like the most sick I have ever been in my life... So sick that I just spent 3 days in the hospital. So sick that I am now on 3 medications to deal with the sickness...

I am so thankful though, because it means that my sweet babe is growing strong and doing well. While I was in the hospital both Curt and I got to see the baby. It was so amazing, sweet little arms and legs moving about and waving at us. Looking just like a sweet little butter bean. I am however, calling IT a Jelly bean now that I think it is a girl. I was sick with Mason, but not like this, not this bad... Plus the heart rate is a hearty 175-180 beats per minute... That is fast and "normally" fast means a GIRL. So I am crossing my fingers. Because after this we are done with babies, I know I could not go through this another time...

I have been told 2 different due dates, the first September 11, and the second September 17... I have also been told that some super cool dates around this time to have a baby are September 7, September 9 (9/9/09) and September 16... So for those of you holding out for a Birthday present form our sweet little bundle of joy, hold your breath- ya never know...

So, now y'all know the reason for my splotchy posting and hardly ever even getting my work up here. Let me tell you I am doing good just to get the work out to the customers... But do not let this deter you from making an order, I promise, I need the orders, I am after all going to have a family of 4 now...

I thought so!

If you have any suggestions on a new name- I am all ears!!!!

{F.Y.I}

Hello, It's me... I know, I know... It has been forever since I have posted... I am a super slacker and have seriously been putting the little blog on the back burner... I have had some great orders lately, but I have slacked in taking pictures of them before I shipped them out. So, I thought I would remind you of some of my favorites....
Double strand.... Perfect for V-Day!!! You can display the initials of the ones you {love} the most.... {$40.00}

Family Tree.... Another perfect example of a GREAT V-Day gift... Great for Grandparents and Mommies.... {$42}

I love these bracelets... It is so FUN to display the names of the ones you love... This is the most popular style of bracelet that K&L offers... There were 15 purchased over the Christmas holiday!!! They are super durable and fun to wear... {$46} The price of the charm bracelet varies by how many charms you have on it. This particular on is $46 because of the amount of charms... Let me know if you need a price for a different amount of charms...

If you are coming from Jamie's Precious Pea's, WELCOME and please feel free to look around.... There are some links on the side bar of the collections I offer. Also, feel free to check out the ETSY shop!

Just Stopping In...

I am headed back out of town tonight, so I thought I would stop in and show you what I've been working on. I hope you enjoy.








Very Dainty... {$24} 16" chain with a pea sized tag monogrammed with 3 letters, it could also fit a 4 letter word, "love." Paired with a hand wrapped smokey-colored bead {optional}
Yes, I made something for myself... I used a large creme pearl and I must say I love how it turned out... {$34}

Said with Love... {$32} Ok, so I made another... Haha... I am in love with these new hearts that I just got in, they are way too much fun. I actually did 2 of these necklaces for a friends daughters, she wanted to get them something fun but age appropriate. I thought this would be just right...

"It's not the journey, It's the destination..." {$62} So, yes, I know this is backwards, I am told it is supposed to say, "It's not the destination, It's the journey..." I like it both ways. If you like this necklace and prefer it the other way I will make it the other way as well. The disc is 1.5 inches strung on a 24" satellite chain... I actually think this might be my most favorite creation....

I am excited to show you what I have been up to after the first of the year, I have been taking some classes to broaden my knowledge for jewelry and also learn some new techniques. I have had a really fun time and I am very excited, so stay tuned...


I hope Christmas was as fabulous for you all as it was for me. I am looking forward to the new year!

.:Leslee:.

{I know you have been waiting}

Ok, so it is not that I haven't made any jewelry lately it is that I have not had time to stop and take pictures before sealing them up and shipping them off. I did not even have the time today, my great friend Angie was kind enough to help me out, Thanks Angie...

Here is my last Christmas order to go out for the season:

{Trio Chunky $42.00, $6.00 extra to add the pearl}

The heart is my new shape, I love it and it looks adorable. I have one more design that I made that I will be posting tomorrow that I used on the heart... Adorable.

{Simply Me Monogrammed Chunky $28, $6 to add the pearl}

These "Chunky Bracelets" were a HUGE hit this season. On my last order I ordered a few extra so I do not feel so stranded next time.... I have 3 available in stock if you do not mind and after Christmas arrival.

{Simply Me Monogrammed Chunky, $28.00, $6 to add the pearl}

Single Initial Monogram



{Grammy & Me $52.00}
Such a favorite, this is the "Mommy Tag" turned "Grandma" tag necklace. I think it turned out nicely, hope you like them Angela!

{$28.00 and $6.00 to add the pearl}

This one wins for the cutest story. Earlier in the month my neighbor's son ordered a necklace for his girlfriend for her birthday, it was so cute. Well, last night when I got home I was checking the mail when the neighbors son and his buddy approached me, I was for sure they were looking for my husband to help them fix their bike or something. That was not the case, his friend wanted to order a necklace for his girlfriend for Christmas. He was so funny while he picked out the shape he wanted and decided what to put on it. It says, "Dp & PP 11.21.2008" I think this is the day they started "going out". Ahhh, sweet young love, to be this excited about making a necklace for your girlfriend is just so cute!

Love.

I love Angie's Wordful Wednesday. Head on over and check out the tons of other people that do too....

Holidays = Love

Curt + Leslee = Love

It has been hard to find time for each other this year over the Holidays. We have a crazy schedule as a family and this year I threw a jewelry business into the mix. For some reason, even though I know our schedules are more jammed than ever before, it has made it easier to find those "special moments" to spend together. I am so thankful that this guy is always there to fit in a few snuggles.
