It’s been a long time but I’m back! I’ve been so busy with my cookbook sales and of course Christmas, but now that the dust is starting to settle, I really wanted to update my poor neglected Cat Can Bead site. I promise to update here much more often once again!

My most recent jewellery projects have been custom family necklaces. I’ve now made many of these for my friends, but would love to start making them for everyone. What a beautiful way to carry your loved ones with you everywhere, and just like the families they represent, no two are exactly alike!

The pendants are sterling silver, and the “birthstones” are Swarovski Crystals. I also add charms to personalize them – they really are very beautiful! I wear mine a lot and I always get compliments (and orders too!)

The pendants sell for $15 (which includes 4 family “birthstones” in the colours of your choice) Each extra birthstone charm is $1.00

If you would like to order one, just e-mail me, and I will have it done within a day or two!

I’ve been neglecting my blogs a little bit lately as I prepare my cook book for print! Yup, it’s all coming together and with any luck, it will be available by Halloween! I am getting very excited about it too!

At any rate, I just wanted to post a few pictures of some recent work and commissions I have done! As always, feel free to drop my a line with your beading and jewellery-related questions, or if you’d like to comment, I’d love to hear what you have to say

Feel free to join my Facebook group too, and check out the latest creations! See you at Catherine Robertson Designs!
