My Summer Hiatus (But, I'm Back!!)

Wow!  Does anyone remember me?  I can't believe it's been 6 weeks since my last blog post!  Yikes! In my defense, I did warn you earlier this summer that I would be busy making memories, and that I have.

Shortly after my Boho Headscarf post, hubby, the kids and I packed up our car and drove down to Florida to visit family and friends.  Our trip was originally scheduled to last about 10 days, but we ended up staying a little over three weeks!

If you follow my Facebook page, you will know that my nephews' infamous "twins shower", which prompted me to start designing baby gift items such as the neck tie and mustache burp cloths and the neck tie diaper and wipes pouch, finally came to fruition while I was in Florida.

I designed some super cute cupcake picks, a neck tie bunting and mini neck tie "capia" pins for the event. (Capia pins are traditional Latin American monogrammed pins that guests are given to wear at bridal and baby showers.)

After the shower, I spent a lot of time with my mom and sister.  Mom and I did some sewing:

and sis and I took our kids to the beach twice, to the movies and to lunch at the T-Rex Cafe in Downtown Disney!

Do you see my beautiful niece sporting her AquaSeventy6 flower earrings?

The rest of our trip we spent hanging out with friends and cousins.  We were strictly budgeted, (I mean, really, who can afford a 3-week vacation, even if they are staying with family?) So, our friends in  Land O Lakes, Seffner, Town N Country and St. Pete Beach took turns inviting us over for dinner.  I can't express what a beautiful gesture that was, and how much we enjoyed their company! (Thanks to R&M, D&M, J&R, A&L, J&Z, and J&C for your yummy homemade dinners, good conversation and your friendship!)

Since I've been home, I've started to work on some new items, which I will be sharing with you this week.  I also had a HUGE sale in my Etsy shop (another reason you MUST follow me on FB!) I have missed my little blog, and I hope you've missed me, too!

Turquoise Drop Earrings

I'm "back" from my staycation with my Florida cousins.  We had so much fun showing them around town, hitting up some wineries and touring DC.  My kiddos start Spring Break on Friday, so I am going to try to fit in as much content as I can before I give them my undivided attention. 

I also have a special treat for you on Friday!  The ladies at Ma Nouvelle Mode will be guest blogging here on Aqua Seventy6 to talk about their beautiful blog relaunch.  You don't want to miss it!  (A little birdie also told me that they may be giving away an Aqua Seventy6 item this week, as well....stay tuned!!)

Last week I promised you a photo of the earrings I made to match Jeanie's Multi-Color Necklace.  I can also make these with a silver post to match the Dual Strand Necklace.

If you are interesting in ordering or for pricing information email me using the link above or visit my Facebook page.

Aqua Flower Earrings

I'm loving today's project:

I was inspired to make these earrings after trying a crack at making my own fashion board on Polyvore:

Gray and Turquoise Spring 2012 by aquaseventy6

I just bought this amazing gray knit maxi skirt at a local consignment shop for $4 (what, what!) and popped onto Polyvore for some fashion inspiration.

After finding those beautiful aqua flower earrings, I knew I could recreate the $40 look at a fraction of the price.

These 12 mm earrings are set on a hypoallergenic, nickel-free post and backing.  They are light weight and provide a  fun pop of color.  I can't wait to sport them out this weekend!
