I've been playing with beads since I was little. I tell people my fascination with them began because they looked like candy to me, and I was a kid who could never get enough! Years later I just wanted to create my own jewelry because I knew how, and it was much more economical. Now I do it as an expression of what's in my heart, which is why I call it Lizzie Love. And I love that other people get excited by my creations. That's really the best part!

Why Lizzie Love?

In the past year I've really become focused on my Lizzie Love, and have begun selling my pieces locally, both retail and custom. I've now opened an online shop, www.lizzielove.etsy.com that has been really fun creating. I've been trying to feed the need while still focusing on my wonderful piano students and my amazing little boys. (And my amazing big boy, too!)

My stuff

I wanted to share what I've been doing with my beads lately. I posted this scarf, knitted by my mom and embellished by me, this morning.

Do I have time for this?

Oh, this seems like such fun, but I don't know what I'm doing. So, after about an hour, I feel like I've mostly been playing around, with only a tiny little blog begun. I'm looking forward to using this spot as a great place to vent about the crazy joy that is my life...
