Pictures of my Cuff :-)

My husband often assumes the role of "photographer" when it comes to my jewelry business, and last night he decided to snap a few pictures of me with my beloved new cuff. Yes, the one that I am not selling because I made it perfectly sized to my wrist and incorporated my {{jewelry by jessica theresa}} colors, of course!

So, enjoy! And pardon the lack of hair and makeup. I'm not ALWAYS fully dressed and ready....trust me! ;-)

 My husband told me to pretend I was "deep in thought". By the way, I am not an actress.

Alrighty that's enough for now. Gotta go and get my 40-miler bike ride in before the kiddos wake up. ;-)

New Website Design!

So. I redesigned by website. :-)

All you have to do is type in www.jessicatheresa.com and you will find everything! All the links you need. <3 

I'd love feedback! What do you all think? As my 4-year old always says...."Talk to me! What do you think, mama? Talk to me!"

Feel free to let me know what you love/hate about the new design. Those of you who know me can likely vouch for the fact that I love to write and love to blog. I have blogged on and off for the last 10 years or so, mostly as a way to satisfy my love for writing. Therefore, now that I've started my jewelry business, I really want to get back into avid blogging again and connect with everyone. So please join me?

Anyways! I thought you all would like to know that I have learned how to "mommy rap". My 4-year continuously asks me to "sing" to him (not sure why...have you ever heard my voice? Most people plug their ears. Just sayin'...) For some unknown reason, instead of singing our usual songs, I decided to try some freestylin' today. Why? No clue. But one of my "mommy raps" went something like this:

My name is Mommy..
I like to wear pink..
Jewelry makes me happy..
And Kaden really stinks!

I'm pretty sure I opened a can of worms after singing my first "mommy rap", because my kids have been asking me NONSTOP for me to "freestyle" for them. Non. Stop. 

Ok I'm being summoned to sing again. I will leave you all with a picture of me and my 4-year old making jewelry together... <3

Happy Birthday Brandon!

Last night I didn't get much done because it was my hubby's 30th BIRTHDAY!!!! Happy Birthday to the love of my life, Brandon! :-)

Back in Action!

I'm back!! Back to blogging and here to stay!

Those of you who know me, know that I've always loved blogging, as I have kept a few different blogs on and off over the last several years. I actually have a secret passion for writing. My alter ego has always wanted to be some sort of respected fashion designer, editor, and/or stylist (preferably all three), and live in an amazing picturesque loft right downtown in a beautiful big city, with a phenomenal panoramic view of the skyline to boot. BUT!!!! To be honest, I'm pretty sure I've got an even better "real" life...as wife to my amazing husband who always makes me feel beautiful and keeps me laughing 24/7, mommy to two beautiful little boys who fill my heart to the brim, and now jewelry designer to let my creative juices do what they do best....design fanciful and unforgettable statement jewelry! :-)

I love to read blogs. LOVE. IT.  Whether the blog is about fashion, jewelry, crafting, motherhood, running....or whatever the topic may be...I absolutely enjoy reading the personal stuff that makes a blog a blog: the personal stories, the new ideas, the trials and tribulations, the funny stuff, the list goes on.

So here we are, back to the world of blogging. I plan on writing about my design ideas, current collections, future collections, custom orders, seasonal designs, fun stories, sales and discounts, new listings, and just about anything in between!

Oh, and maybe a few random stories too....like the fact that my husband and I are running in the Fox Cities Marathon on Sunday! :-)

And I would also like to use this blog to connect with other crafty ladies, fashionista's, work-at-home mama's, and small business owners out there. Sometimes, it's the networking, connections, and relationships that make life a little more fun! So, if you have a blog and would like to be added to the "Friends of Jewelry by Jessica Theresa" blog list, feel free to comment and list your blog here!
