Mini-Fundraiser

Look out! Our super bedazzled phone cases are sure attention getting conversation starters! The hard phone case is covered in colourful gems and other shiny bits plus a few watchful eyes.

We have made a couple of these one of a kind special cases in hopes of raising a little money for the Canadian Cancer Society. Everyone seems to know someone touched by the disease and we wanted to help out in a small way. 100% of the purchase price of this phone case will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society.

As an extra thank you for your support, we will also send you a surprise MoonRox Grab Bag filled with over $150 worth of jewellery! It's a win-win!

Please note that this phone case is only suitable for iPhone 6/6s. Each is one of a kind but we promise that yours will be just as awesome as the one pictured!

For more on the Canadian Cancer Society, visit www.cancer.ca. View the phone case in our online shop! 

Thanks!

DIY Phone Case

Love me a good craft project! With a phone upgrade last year, I had to recreate my over the top phone case for the newbie. Made a couple for some friends that had upgraded too. Pretty much DIY-ed the hell outta these! I think I will make a few more and have a plan to add a couple one of a kind numbers to the online shop.

Crafting a wacky phone case

 

This was way easy and oh so much fun to do. I adhered loads of bits and bobs and googly eyes to a phone case with super strength and flexible glue.  It pretty much weighs a ton, but  I love the weirdness of this. The next one may be more orderly or maybe I'll do one with just eyes!  

Winterized

This Winter seems so long to me... I think we are only half way through.  How have you been keeping warm?  Me, I cozy up indoors with lots tasty eats and piles of jewellery making... or bundle up in multiple layers and truck around to cozy up elsewhere with lots of tasty eats!  Here are some photos taken lately.  Been a bit snap happy with my new camera.  Still learning how to use it.  One day I will have to dedicate a weekend to reading the manual online.  Plus I always take a lot of phone pics.

Bright Lights Bracelet in Mint.

Coffee afternoon.

Day drinking and banter.

Lady Di was listening.

My pretty new rings from our friends at House of Moda

Camera in case and Hoibo mini.

 Three cute hair pins for an even cuter two year old.

Artful desserts.

Savoury and sweet yummies.

Calm moment in the café.

Large Sparkle Dot Stud Earrings. 

Donut break.

Sending off our loyal old friend, the penny.

Failed baking endeavours.  Nutella stuffed chocolate chip cookies with sea salt.  Almost chipped my tooth.  Next time will have to get the proven and delicious recipe from my Sister and not trust random find from Pinterest.

J. and T.'s annual Superbowl party.  Good times!

Gluten free and regular crust pizzas.  

The gluten-filled one was so much tastier.  Darned gluten.

I live in this cozy sweater and will continue to until 25 degrees Celsius or May, whichever comes first.  Don't judge me if I am wearing this if you see me.

Snow day in Toronto.

Love how peaceful the semi-deserted city can be.

I kind of like a good snow day.  If it's going to be cold, we may as well have a pretty blanket of snow coating our city.  So I (unwisely) went for a midnight walk, just to enjoy the sparkly clean snow.  Had to enjoy it 'cause as soon as the snow gets trampled and muddy, I curse it and wish it would all go away. 

Random lemon photo.  I was playing with the manual focus of my camera.  Plus I love citrus everything.

Suffered a painful cross town excursion waiting in aforementioned dirty snow for 1 hour and 15 minutes for a streetcar that never arrived.  Lost feeling and flexibitlity in my feet and complete faith in our public transit system, but met the kindest cab driver that let me warm my toes on the dashboard heater... then I was treated to such a nice dinner with some of my favourite peeps.  This giant meatball was delicious.

Turned out to be a lovely evening...

complete with a brief visit inside a yurt.

Went bananas on the fingernails and found myself staring at the cheery dappled coloured bits all week. Will have to try this again with a more restrained palette.

Love my re-usable thank you bag.

Tiny Key to My Heart Necklace.

Dropped off new jewels and ogled the kick-ass hand drawn temporary tattoos at Frock.

Brunch with every board game option.

Six unsuspecting piggies went for dim sum...

Celebrated the lunar new year with family.

Caught up on house work and as a side effect, fell in love with my Fire-King collection all over again.

Those are the random photos for now.

Been having some technical difficulties with the website.  Some evil 'bot has hacked it and after a few stressful days and sleepless nights, I have chosen to ignore the problem hoping it would just plain go away.  Not the way things happen, so I'll have to face reality and get on top of that. Hoping to be up to date soon and then we'll be able to share more jewellery pictures with you!  In the meantime, visit the SHOP for any of your MoonRox needs!

No sweat

The last week went by in a blur... Been working away and eating massive meals lately!  I have been feeling as if I've been in a bit of sweat shop at times and have been grateful for the friends that have volunteered to lend a helping hand and to keep me company.  I fear I have taken on a task that is a bit over my head.  I have been hired to make many, many necklaces for a company. I have come to realize that this work is slightly outside of my realm and is going to be an enormous undertaking in very little time. I wasn't really going to talk about it here on the blog, as it is not for my own line, but for someone else. However, as it is all-consuming right now, I can't seem to help myself from discussing it! I've posted pictures here or there of materials gathered and I'll probably share some tidbits of work in progress, but I will likely not share the final product.  Let's just say there will be a lot of tubing and spray paint involved...  Wish me luck!  I like a good challenge!

At the same time, I have been keeping busy with MoonRox related work and getting ready for the Fall/Winter Collection.

Anyhow, here are some random photos taken lately.

Keeping office work fun with glitter pens and washi tape.

Spotted this rug that looks like it is made of lots of lots of men's ties chopped up.

My new iPhone cases arrived in the mail.

I always love a huge pile of pasta.

Had some treats.

Visited Kid Icarus to pick up Father's Day cards last week.

Feasted on lobster.

Caught some live music and somehow came home with a bag of candy like a kid on Hallowe'en.

Indulged in some quality dive bar chicken wings.

Gorged on delectable Polish delights.

Was treated to see Roger Waters' The Wall.  Serious show.

Enjoyed the gorgeous weather and made sure to work outside as much as possible.

And tried to keep cool in the heat wave we had.  

This is always one of my favourite times of the year... Love Summer!  Super long days and warm evenings make me happy!

My computer is misbehaving and this post has taken me far longer than intended with lots of waiting time for pics to load, so I'm off now!  A large pot of tea and a late night of work await me!  Goodnight and hope you had a nice weekend!
