love that link❤. Enjoy the quiet while you can😅. Thank you! Empty nester here and retired…every day is play day😊. Just making some hammered oval links. So enjoy your vids!❤
Hello Carrie 😊 Beautiful Bracelet!!! Great job on the Video too!!! Thank You for the shout out 🤣 wasn’t expecting that! 💜💕❤️ Yes, I have double booked myself too! Life is Crazy, sometimes you have to be silly to survive! It is a necessity to have a good sense of humor and the ability to laugh at yourself. Making jewelry is therapeutic for me. I get joy from starting with wire and a few beads, or just wire and making something beautiful! I have been making jewelry for 20 years. Life is what you make it, so Make it Great!!! 🥳🥳🥳
Love this! Definitely going to make this. How inspiring and thank you for the great ideas. I just retired and am having so much fun learning from all you wonderful jewelry crafters on UA-cam.
@@Gumby25D fantastic! My husband will be retiring in 2.5 years but I know for a fact he’s not doing anything intricate or fiddly things. He watches me do jewelry or paint and just looks bewildered at how I have the patience! 🤣 he’s kind more of a chainsaw/tractor guy. BIG stuff!
Love this link. Can’t wait to try it. My three girls are almost the same age as your children. 24, 20, and 17. My youngest starts school, senior year next Thursday in New Jersey. Can’t wait to check out some more of your videos! Thank you
That is awesome! These ages are fun, but a whole different stress level, am I right? I jokingly say, “if I could just go back to rotten sippy cups and poopy diapers for a few days…” but then I’d miss all the wonderful conversations. 😊 thanks for watching and commenting, mama!
Hello Carrie, a new subscriber and empty nester retired. Loving my time off and making all types of jewelry including but not limited to wire work. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. ❤
Thanks for the shoutout, I was surprised 😊. I love learning from you and will delve into this link tomorrow! It’s beautiful, thank you for sharing your talent.
I'm an empty nester...my baby boy turns 21 at the end of September, my oldest son is 23 and my daughter is turning 26 in November.....AND.....she's having a baby girl in March!! I cannot wait for this next season of life as a Gigi!! 😁
@@lexylaney haha! Life is funny 😆 she seems to be ok now. Believe it or not, when my husband got there one of their vets quit so they couldn’t see Susan. 🙄 always something. I’m so glad to have you along! Thanks for watching and commenting (and laughing, too!) 🧡✨💚
You know, I’ve had several inquiries about that ring and I guess I’m going to have to do something about that!! 👍😉 Thanks for watching and commenting! 🧡✨💚
Just found you! Thank you for a great lesson. I learned so much from you. If you cut one side a little longer and then bend as you say and continue. Just an idea,
I had thought of that as an option but I wanted to keep it a little simpler with just cutting 3” pieces but that is totally a great option! Thanks!! 😊 💚✨🧡
Oh good.😅 I was worried that if I didn’t cut out my silliness people would be turned off. I’ve seen several comments on other channels from viewers saying they liked the quiet. I guess that’s not me and people who like what I do, like yourself, will tune in and I let the others go. I just started my channel a few months ago so I’m still testing the waters. Thanks for your sweet feedback!💕
New sub here! This is a georgeous link...i wonder if you could pull knot tighter with a pair of parallel pliers(found on Amazon), or even anneal the knot wires before tightening it up. Think i'll experiment this weekend. Thanks Carrie!
Hi Carrie, new subscriber here. I have lots of gold filled wire. This would be great for using up that wire up. It would help me if you told me the diameter of your mandrels. I have several wrap and tap pliers from several different companies, so telling the diameter in millimeters would be wonderful for all of your videos. Thank you.
I hear you 😉 will do! 👍 At one time I had the mm written on the bail pliers with a sharpie. Guess they don’t make sharpies like they used to! 😁 Thanks for watching and commenting. Always great to make new friends! 💚✨🧡
@@TheMolli555 hi! Someone else mentioned that I should give the mm for the steps on the bail pliers, but I sadly must say that I still don’t know 😜 I had them written onthe bail steps at one time, but they’ve since rubbed off. I use the 5th out of 6 steps which looks to be about 6-7 mm. Did I answer your question at all? If not, feel free to ask more. 😊
Oh no! I’m so sorry that you’re having issues. Are you tapping it out with a nylon hammer? That kind of helps mold it together a bit, and flatten of course. Mine, at times, still slip a bit but once you get the loops formed on the ends, it won’t go anywhere. Happy creating!
@carriefoscatodesign Hi Carrie I've just got the hang of how to do these. They are slightly different-sized. So in another hour or so, they will be perfect. Thank you Jackie 😊
How beautiful Carrie, I had done this link a long time ago but they didn’t come out as nice as yours 😞I think because I used the wrong gauge!!. My daughter’s name is Caroline, I wanted to call her Carrie. When she was pre teen, she changed back to Caroline. At 14 she changed back 😡. Since then we, her parents call her Caroline, every one else calls her Carrie. I so understand. I am sorry about your dog’s b hole ‼️♥️
Hi! It’s been about two months since I did this video, and of course, I’ve forgotten all I’ve said in it. So reading your comment is like being refreshed on all that wackiness that goes on in my life.🤣🤣 and I forgot to say in the video, I think, that my middle name is Virginia. So that would have made more sense with the “carry me back to ol’ Virginny”. Oh well. Thanks for taking me down memory lane! 🤗💚✨🧡
@@mariacolon1717 hello! I did a poll asking my subscribers what they liked about my tutorials and what format they enjoyed. The majority enjoy thorough instruction and time spent talking with a friend, so that’s how my channel is formatted. It’s a free service (that I work very hard to prepare), and you’re free to find what you prefer. Happy creating. 💚🧡
I had so much fun making this chain link for a bracelet, necklace, and even earrings! Thanks for watching! 🧡✨💚
It will make a BEAUTIFUL set. Thank You!
I’m so glad you think so! Thanks for watching and commenting! 😁🧡✨💚

From one quirky gal to another…you are totally awesome! Love all the jewelry you share with us! ✨
I guess that’s why we get along so well, and have great taste in boots! 😁😁
My kids are all on their own and I am a grandmother 5x. Now caring for my aging parent. Wire work is calming

@@carriefoscatodesignagree! Like you said that’s why us Mom’s need to stick together and support each other💕
Beautiful designed link and I love the wrapped bead link idea
Yes! I’m going to be finishing that beaded version up tomorrow. I had plans to do it this evening, but my middle son invited us for dinner! 🤯🧡
Hello Carrie, a new subscriber and empty nester retired. Loving my time off and making all types of jewelry including but not limited to wire work. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. ❤
Wow! What other types of jewelry you do? Resin jewelry with flowers has always fascinated me, but have yet to try it. More tools to buy… 🤔💭👍💯😁
Oh and thanks for joining me and commenting! 🧡✨💚

This is gorgeous! ❤
Oh, thanks, Jillian! 😁🧡✨💚
I love this link and will definitely be using these myself. I can't wait to see what all I can do with this.
Oh fantastic! I loved how it is so simple yet so interesting! Glad you can put it to use! 💚✨🧡

@@SAstonFamily I am so excited for you!! 😃 all my kids says they don’t want kids of their own. Maybe they’ll change their minds. Wow, a grand baby! 👶💕
I'd love to have a bracelet in silver wire in this lover's knot.
Oh ok! And I haven’t forgotten about the bangle. I’m hoping to get to some other projects this Thursday and Friday 🤞😎
@@carriefoscatodesign wow, a bangle! would love, love to have one.
Oooo too fun
😃😃😃 thanks for watching!

Really nice ! Love that ring . Do you have a tutorial for that too ? Just subscribed 👍🏻
You know, I’ve had several inquiries about that ring and I guess I’m going to have to do something about that!! 👍😉 Thanks for watching and commenting! 🧡✨💚
@@carriefoscatodesign absolutely…I hope you do , they look fun to make💕
Just an FYI... I've used this link to make rings. I anneal the wire first, which makes it much easier to manipulate the wire.
@@gjk540 love it! Thank you! 😊
Oh great idea. Did you use 18 gauge?
Just found you! Thank you for a great lesson. I learned so much from you. If you cut one side a little longer and then bend as you say and continue. Just an idea,
I had thought of that as an option but I wanted to keep it a little simpler with just cutting 3” pieces but that is totally a great option! Thanks!! 😊 💚✨🧡

Both excellent ideas! I might have to ask my husband for those pliers. I’m sure he’s got ‘em 😂 thanks for the tip! 👍
Could you use a washer?
Ohh, I guess you could! I’ve yet to pick those up and mess around with them in projects, but that’s a great idea! 👍
Excited to try this. Love your videos.

@@brendapemberton3822 Xuron and same brand for the chain nose with the blue handles. Love both! Happy creating

What is the stone in the ring on your pointer finger of your right hand? Thinking of getting another silver ring with that stone.
I believe it aquamarine in a pebble stone shape 🤗
