I know

    I know that some of my post have been off topic but tonight I thought I would tell you all a little more about me. My name is Maggie, but my nickname is Cat. I am a nineteen year old goth, and I have been making jewelry since I was twelve. I started selling jewelry last year to earn a little bit of money. Most of my inspiration comes from nature, and most of the jewelry I make is gemstone and stone. Some of it is made with rough stones still in the raw and some of it is made with tumbled stones. I love working with the stones when I'm making a new piece and I fuss over choosing just the right stone each and every time.
 
    As time goes on, I am learning new and better techniques, as well as using new stones. I love undertaking a new challenge when it comes to making the jewelry, even though I'm not always successful in learning the technique. Of course from time to time you will see something other than jewelry appear in one of my stores. Like wax tarts I have in my esty store or a hand sewn item that I have put together. I love crafting and making things with my hands.

Another thing I would like to mention to all of you who like powder eye shadows please check out Esoteric Aesthetic over on etsy. The owner makes some really great eye shadows. 

March Is Irish-American Heritage Month!!!

I have just discovered something that is wonderful its called Irish -American Heritage Month, which is this month. As someone who is very proud of my Irish roots I am thrilled to have discovered this, but sadly it doesn't get them same recognition as many other ethnic heritage months. Many people do not even know about it. I know that there are millions of Americans with Irish ancestry and with such a wonderful history that deserves to be celebrated it would be amazing if we could all work together to bring this more recognition. I will link two very interesting sites that give some more information :

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish-American_Heritage_Month
• http://www.virginiasoftware.com/webpageirish1.htm

I am proud to be Irish and American! We should all be proud of our history.
