Sophiasa

Sophiasa is on Etsy!

noreply@blogger.com (s smallcomb) — Fri, 03 May 2013 22:01:00 +0000

Sophiasa is now on Etsy!

That's right! I promised you a shop, and finally, there is one. It is a baby shop, with just one item up at the moment, and plenty more to come within just the next few days. The jewelry really took off here in Michigan, and I just couldn't wait to share it with the rest of you. :)

Also, it's gone beyond just jewelry. There will be products of all sorts- one of a kind, handmade wood bowls, quilts, paintings and garden planters and decor- all created originally by local artisans in Lapeer County! So stop on by , and check often, because you're guaranteed to find something to fall in love with.

PS. When I say one of a kind- I do mean one of a kind. Just one. So scoop that original design up before someone else can!

Another PS: If you haven't noticed, the blog is slowly being made over. And to the left you will find links (those cute little circles there) to be able to follow Sophiasa on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Be sure to follow to keep up on what's in shop, what will be (so you can call dibs!) and what's currently being worked on!

Thank You!

Birthday Presents

noreply@blogger.com (s smallcomb) — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 00:18:00 +0000

Tomorrow is my birthday. I will be 31. So I enjoyed my last day of being a 30 year old with a little bit of shopping. (Okay, a lot.) Got this dress, and the shoes, two tops (including an awesome Rock & Republic studded top), yellow shorts, and cropped white pants.. can never have too many of those. :) Also got some paint supplies, beads, and metal clay. SO MUCH FUN, by the way.

Yes, my next purchase will be a full length slip for this dress! Lol.

Sorry for the MIA stuff lately. Posting will be back to normal very soon. Thanks for understanding =)

Fit Friday: Run Around

noreply@blogger.com (s smallcomb) — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 22:14:00 +0000

Got some new NB kicks. My joggers were worn. And now these do double duty:

Great for running around the UC. Ventilated, lightweight and comfortable. Which makes it perfect for...
Running. (yeah, it's a duh) There happens to be a fantastic walking/running/blading park just down the road from where I work.

Let's call it triple duty, because these things are pretty too :) Every runner has a brand preference. What's yours?

So here's a little (but very important) trivia for you..

Q. How often should you replace your running shoes?

A. Every 300-400 miles. If you run on roads, you'll need to replace them sooner then if you run on a treadmill. Running in old shoes is the best way to get an injury!

It was a very windy day. Hair everywhere, sun way too bright, shirt flying untucked.. I blame the wind for these shots, lol. Speaking of this Ann Taylor blouse, ohh I'm in love with the color. The exact same color of my eyes. And it complements my hair color. Isn't it great when that happens? :)

I've mentioned in an earlier post how white on white was the way I was taking this spring. And then proceeded with a color binge. So now, here is my white on white look featuring this great white lace top that has recently come my way. And pops of turquoise.

18 hours later...

noreply@blogger.com (s smallcomb) — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:34:00 +0000

I have to say, I've never sat down to start and finish such a detailed project in such a short amount of time. 18 hours isn't exactly short, but normally I spread that out throughout a week. This was made from Friday-Sunday. (Needless to say, I didn't do much else this weekend) The flowers were made from a previous project that didn't turn out right, but I kept them. Good thing! There is one beaded bead also made a few weeks ago, (at the end of the rope, attaching the flower) not made for any particular piece, just beaded bead practice. Put it all together and this is what happened :)

This necklace was never planned or sketched. I was looking to try a new stitch (tubular netting) and set about making a long rope.

Clasps, especially beaded ones, are not my favorite. But I do love a lariat. The idea for the lariat came after I added the flower at the end of the rope. And instead of tying it like I did with this tuquoise one, I opted for a peyote stitched slider. So it's completely adjustable, wear the slider all the way down for one unified piece or slide it up to your neck for a dangling flower bud.

The petals are a mix of round and pointed, using peyote stitch.

What do you think? I would really, really love to hear your feedback on this one! Thank you! =)

Just had to pile on the jewelry today. In the case of necklaces drawing attention to cleavage, when piled on, they also cover it. Good for the cleavage-shy. :) How do you like the tribal-y one? Made it last weekend. I'm not crazy about the length tho, and I may shorten it a bit. What do you think?

This skirt has been sitting in my closet for too many years (about 12!) . Worn maybe 3 or 4 times, I'm just about done with it. Can't bring myself to Goodwill it tho, because I just love the print and the way it drapes. Plus, the necklace goes really well with it! I'd like to DIY it, but really, what could I do that would improve it any? Any ideas you have would be greatly appreciated! =)

Orange You Glad?

noreply@blogger.com (s smallcomb) — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:27:00 +0000

A work in progress. And other pieces I've been working on..

I want to add more to it. Just not sure on what exactly. Any ideas?

If you remember a while back, I made this great Tribal Inspired necklace. Now there's a bracelet =)

I don't know about you, but come summer time I cannot get enough of beachy, shell jewelry. Better yet, this one does not need a clasp. Because really, who wants to deal with a clasp?

I love this piece. It sits a bit below the collar bone. The teal drops really pop.

Mixed metals are always fun.

Another new necklace(s). Sometimes the simplicity of heavily layered chains is all an outfit needs. Especially if it's made of mixed metals.

Fit Friday: Recipe and a good read

Strawberry Spring Salad

In the spirit of The Hunger Games, your good read, if you haven't read it yet. A must-read before you see the movie, so as not to misjudge it. Read the entire series! I devoured it in 2 days.

May the odds be ever in your favor. :)
