To the Men who ROCK 3 LOVE

I've neglected you for a while...ok, a long time is more like it. Been wearing multiple hats so please forgive me. It's always such a delight to photograph who's rockin 3 LOVE DESIGNS, an extension of my multiple layers and one of the hats I wear. This "man caver" is wearing 3 LOVE DESIGNS Men's Picture Jasper bracelet and 3 The Hard Way necklace...made from a .38 special bullet casing, a single tiger eye bead and an antique copper blank all hanging from brass rolo chain..we think he wears it well! htttp://www.etsy.com/shop/3lovedesigns

Forgive Me...but

I have no excuse. I've neglected you for so long...(no wonder you guys stray). Well, I've been doing all sorts of things, good, bad, and indifferent. In this "down time" I've really tapped into my creative side and what started as passing time, is rapidly developing into a skill to take more seriously. So here are a few pieces created with you in mind...

Group Shot...PLUS A SNEAK PEAK INTO FALL!!!

Here is a sneak peak at what's cooking in that brain of mine...Asian Cuisine anyone? A fusion of sterling silver,copper and brass on a simple band or maybe not so simple...Stay tuned for the end result! You can always expect the unexpected.


All together now. I finally finished the russian wedding band to add to the group.

In the Closet...The Remix

Fellas I know it's sometimes a bit of a challenge to keep up your side of the room, your side of the bathroom, and of course, your side of the closet. We like to give fellow cave dwellers a helping hand out of the cave man stereotype and into the cave gentleman prototype. With that said..here is a snapshot of how to make her happy!!

How to care for knits...

Want to preserve the life of your favorite knits and sweaters? The next time you do the laundry opt for the most delicate cycle on your machine and bottle of Woolite. Lay flat to dry either on top of the dryer or an inexpensive rack from Target or Wallyworld. Hangers aren't friendly to knits, they tend to leave indentations plus it stretches the fabric. If it's a little wrinkled, hang it in the bathroom before and during a hot shower, and let the steam do the rest! Keep your knitted items folded for maximum shelf life. Be sure to check the manufacturer's label for instructions. If it doesn't say dry clean only then you're good to go.
