About Me:
I am an art student going to the Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online. I absolutely love it! When I am not doing school work, I am spending time with my family, many animals, church, and making jewelry. I have very little time for much else and can not wait to graduate! Disney here I come!

On Etsy you can find my handmade wristlets, coin purses, and jewelry creations, which I make with designer fabrics and high quality parts. I started sewing when I was wee little and making jewelry 5 years ago, although I started out my jewelry making with hemp. I graduated to using precious metals and absolutely love it! Somewhere along the line I have become a bead and fabric addict and can't help myself! Do not get me into a bead or fabric store....egad!

Where does Sweet Irie come from? Well Irie is my kitty's name; the light of my life she is such a sweetie!! In any event, I started creating and designing jewelry in 2005 shortly before Irie was born. Having a kitten around the house made it very hard for me to make jewelry; back then I generally only used hemp and she absolutely did not want me to work! She loved loved loved playing with the long strings I was using to make knots with and no matter how many times I would cut a piece off for her...she wasn't happy! She wanted what I had in my hands. Then after I was done with the jewelry she would somehow get into the bin I had them in and spread them all over the house; one after the other! hehe ;) I finally realized I would never get anything done because of her need to play so I starting dabbling with more involved techniques...using precious metals for a more 'professional' look. After a while my little business began to grow and I used the name Sweet Irie because she used to 'help' me with my designs. At least now she doesn't jump right in the middle of my work. I am at peace...

Announcment...

FREE excel Etsy profit/loss worksheet & goals...love 'em or leave 'em...

How many of you keep track of your sales, profits, and losses? How many get discouraged if they do not meet their monthly sales goals, even if it is by just a few? I find it necessary to keep track of all these things and on my Excel spreadsheet, I have found that it is quite helpful and gets me excited to meet my sales goals! With that, I normally set my goals dependent upon what my sales were for the previous month and from last years numbers. I do not always meet the goals, coming just shy of… Continue

So I am branching out...

While many of you fabulous Etsy sellers may currently advertise on various platforms, I have shied away from it due to cost. I currently do not play all that much on the computer (due to time restrictions), but seeing these super cute ads on the We Love Etsy site, I decided today that I would try it! So, I am branching out... Yikes!!! I am scared I will not be able to afford it and so very excited to see my little ad in various parts of the web (so much so that I keep going to those sites, to se… Continue

Thanks very much for the good words about my knitting! I'm glad you like the fingerless gloves. Thanks for keeping my knits in mind for gifts, etc :) I'll be happy to combine shipping, do a custom order, just drop me a line when you are interested :)
