And we have all sorts of new stuff to tell you about

We have a new website. We have a new store. We have lots of new jewelry designs and kits coming to you in the upcoming weeks. And there is a new book we are just finishing up that will soon be available as both an ebook and a print book, our first printed book. 

And we have a new blog.

“What’s New”: The Homestrung Blog

One of the newest and neatest new things we have is the new HomeStrung blog which you can find under the “What’s New” heading.

The blog is where we will be introducing new jewelry projects, new tutorials, and telling you about any new books we are publishing. It will be where we tell you about special events and deals. It you have explored the website you may have noticed a category called “Debby’s Deals”. We will talk about that in a minute.

The blog will also allow us to shorten our emails, giving you all the highlights and then allowing you to link to those things you are most interested in. The emails tended to get lost in time, but the blog info will be around for ever.

Anyway, the blog is where we tell you about everything upcoming, ongoing, and exciting at HomeStrung.

Debby says we have too much stuff. Too much stuff is good news for all of you.

It means, on a somewhat irregular basis, Debby is going to be clearing out all sorts of things. Beads and gemstones that either never found a home in a jewelry project or are from a kit we no longer support. Kits and jewelry projects we no longer can get materials for. And there will also be things she finds that are deals just too good to pass up that she will happily share will all of you.

Watch the “Debby’s Deals” section of the shop where she will put all of the stuff she is selling at ridiculous prices. She will also tell you about what’s available and upcoming in the “What’s New” section.

Lots of New Jewelry Projects

Did we mention we have new jewelry kits coming? This particular project will be available in the next couple of week. Watch for the announcement.

Steve Met the Surgical Robot…

…and is still here. It’s been 8 weeks since the surgery and the only real problem has been a little disagreement between him and the doctors as to what qualifies as “returning to normal day to day activities.” 

If you want to know any more, just ask him and we are sure he will talk you ears off.

Wear a Little Red, White, & Blue this Holiday

Show your patriotism this next week with Special Holiday Jewelry that you make yourself.

We pulled out some of our brightest and best red, white, and blue glass pearls that look great with silver plated chains and wires. Your new jewelry will sparkle and shine all day, from the early morning flag raising, the pancake breakfast fund raiser and parades, through the family BBQ’s and picnics, and lasting on into the night until the last of the fireworks are just smoldering memories. Your jewelry will be there with you, a reminder of what a great place it is that we live.

We have 3 pairs of earrings, 2 pendants with necklace chains, 1 holiday necklace, and a bracelet, all in traditional red, white, and blue. These projects are all relatively easy to make and wear, requiring only basic wire wrapped loops, a little wire work, and the ability to open and close a few jump rings. If you feel like you need a refresher on any of these techniques, just drop up a line and we’ll send you some instructions. (Each kit also includes a printed instruction sheet which should get most of you through with no problems.)

We have some special holiday prices for all of you. Going clockwise, starting in the upper left corner:

Clicking on any of the above project descriptions will take you to its catalog and purchase page.

A Special Deal for the Holiday

Through the 4th of July, if you purchase any 5 of the individual projects, we will throw in the 6th kit for free. (Hint: the Swirly wire pendant is the most expensive kits and really, truly wants to be free, but, hey, this is America and you can order what ever you want, however you want.)

Get your orders in so you have plenty of time to finish your jewelry. But remember, this jewelry also looks great on other holidays, i.e., Memorial Day, Flag Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Bastille Day (just reverse the colors, or even Steve’s birthday. And any day is great when you just want the world to know where your heart is.

If You Are In Town

If you are local, we are opening the studio this Saturday, June 29th, from 10 am to 2 pm as a free day for those who would like to come on in and finish their holiday jewelry under our watchful eyes.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, concerns, or just need to talk, feel free to comment below or drop us an email at: debby@homestrungjewelry.com.
