Hi, I'm Chrissy. I am happily married stay-at-home mom and slightly obsessed jewelry designer.
Chrissy, the Stay-at-Home Wife and Mother:
I have been married to my husband Shawn for eleven years, and we have two precious children Alex and Emerson. Shawn has always been very supportive of my love of beading and doesn't complain when I buy more and more beads! He even use to finish my earrings for me until I got better at the bead wrapping.
Our son Alex is six years old and is in first grade. He is such a happy and smart little guy, and he loves to do crafts. He actually has a tackle box filled with his own beads, and he loves to bead with me!
Emerson, or Emmy as we call her, is our little princess. She just turned nine months old and is celebrating her first tooth. After her birth, I left my job to stay home, and it has been such a blessing. I always said I wasn't stay-at-home material, but was I ever wrong! I've become a surprisingly good cook and my house is actually clean. I love helping Alex with his homework and watching Emmy reach her milestones.
When I'm not beading or taking care of children, I ring in the church handbell choir and I co-direct the preschool choir at church.
Chrissy, the Slightly Obsessed Jewelry Designer:
"Slightly obsessed" may be an understatement. I notice people's jewelry before I notice their faces, and I actually dream about jewelry. My bead catalogs are held together with packing tape because they've been read so much. And I actually have a section of our den set aside as my beading zone. Yes, I think I'm more than "slightly" obsessed.
I've been designing jewelry for about six years. It started out as a creative outlet for me, as well as a way to make my own Christmas gifts for my relatives. Now that I am staying home with the kids, I'd like to build my passion into a small business that will allow me to continue staying at home once they both are in school. I am self-taught, learning from books and magazines.
I try to use exciting blends of color and stones with unique shapes and textures. I strive to make each piece eclectic and unique. Each piece I create is a wearable work of art, and I love creating exciting and extraordinary pieces.
