I am now officially on squirrel patrol. I had the roof repaired yesterday and the little critters chased out of the attic. This morning they were back at it, trying to chew back into the attic. I have been chasing them away all day.
So, unfortunately, I have had a delay in my anklet productivity. But, it looks like things have quieted down now so I can resume. Today's project will be cat and wing charms. I have just received these cute angel wing charms as well as some adorable cat charms, so I think with the weather being so wonderful, I will sit outside and create some pretty anklets.

Creating anklets today...
I started the day staring at these "peace sign" charms I had ordered a while back. I had promised a friend of mine that I would make her a few and had yet to do so. Today was the day I thought I'd tackle that.
To me "peace" means balance and harmony. I decided to create small cards for the anklets to emphasize this. The anklets themselves were easy and simple. I didn't want to make the jewelry very complicated, but instead use some harmonious colors. Before I knew it I had finished hers and was making some for the Etsy store. FUN!
The problem with having so much fun is that I don't always get my other job finished, which is why I am still awake. Hobbies can be like that, especially when you feel passionate about what you are doing. I hope to sell some of these soon to help the animals.
Oh well, good night and soon I hope to fall asleep too! ~Christine

About Groovy Anklets
- Groovy Anklets
- Hello! My name is Christine Krebs, from the Baltimore / DC area. My hobby is making anklets (especially during the winter months) and selling them to help animals. I have a degree in art from FSU (many years ago) and have carried my creativity into many areas of my life. I was inspired to start selling anklets when I couldn't keep up with the demands of making them for free. Because I am very compassionate about animals, I thought it would be a great idea to donate proceeds to the local area animal shelters. I decided to name my shop "Groovy Anklets" because each piece is unique and a little more original than what you might find at an average store. I am inspired by gems, spirituality and beauty. I use all sorts of beads and charms. I love using crystal beads, charms that carry meanings, and stone beads. I hope you enjoy your little visit to my blog. Stop by my Etsy store if you are interested in my creations. Thank you!
