~UWIB~Celebrating Womanhood~
April Blog Hop
"We are sensitive by nature, we are strong in our worth, and when injured by a reckless world, we gather to heal one another. That is the greatest of our celebrations, to reach out and heal with love and uninhibited compassion. It is our natural reaction to pain."
excerpt from: Celebrating Ourselves as Women By Anne Marie Baugh

My "Mother's Love" necklace is included in my 'Tribute to Womanhood' collage
Reflecting on Motherhood as part of the uniqueness of Womanhood, I chose to create necklace calling it "Mother's Love". The pendant is a locket and perfect for enclosing a photo of you and your child/children. It is "one of a kind" and definitely would make a perfect Mother's Day Gift. Visit my store at: http://www.jmjcreations.etsy.com/ "Take a moment to notice the women around you. Yes, the woman as mother, but also the girl in transition to womanhood, the businesswoman, the caregiver, the healer, etc. Take the time to thank each and everyone for their contribution in the world.

Carla Ekman was a database designer/software engineer for 19 years, but since 2002 she has been running her own business from home called Cobweb Corner.

She is a very creative jewelry designer giving each of her pieces an artsy flair!

She is constantly trying new materials and recently began doing digital altered art with scrabble tiles,bamboo pendants, soldered glass etc.

I am so glad she gave up her "day job" to dedicate her time to designing! I absolutely love her tile pendants and, of course, I couldn't resist! I bought the Bunco Fairy for a friend of mine who plays Bunco twice a month. When she opened the box, she went crazy over it! She said she was going to start a tradition with it by giving it to the winner to wear until the next Bunco get together. Clever! eh?

(isn't that fairy the cutest little thing you every saw?)

And take a look at this precious little gal, just a sittin' there proud as a peacock 'cause the voices only talk her.....I got news for her..."they talk to me occasionally, too!" LOL!

I purchased this "little pretty" for a friend's birthday gift along with the ball chain to go with it. What a classy statement she makes when she wears it with a black turtle neck! WOW! Everyone has asked just where did she find such a striking pendant......"I know where!" LOL!

And last but certainly not least, I celebrated my Mom's birthday by purchasing these beautifully faceted topaz earrings set in antiqued brass!

"What Show Stoppers!"

My Mother is 84 and loves to look good even if she is just making a trip to the grocery store! The people in town just love her and her stylish ways. They are always looking to see what new jewelry I have purchased for her. When they saw her with these pretties on they went crazy....these earrings really have a lustre that is hard to describe.

Stop on over to Carla's shop at:

You will definitely be in awe of her talents!
