Welcome

Hello and welcome to my new blog.  I am going to try this again, lol.  I would really love it if you'd follow me on this adventure I am about to embark on.  I will try my best to keep it interesting and fun.  Thanks so much.

My name is Kimberly Kreamer, I am the creative force behind Pretty Pretty handcrafted jewelry.
I am a native New Yorker, with a strong background in fashion, merchandising & design.
When my third child was born, I stopped working in the fashion field and started studying the craft of jewelry making. I try to keep my designs hip and trendy and I like to say that they are made especially for today's "Spiritually Aware & Fashionable Consumer". 
My designs are mostly inspired by my faith, family, friends and nature. I love to just sit down and create original pieces.  I never really know what I'm going to make, I sit at my desk and look around at the materials laying in front of me and it comes to me then.
My workspace


My Desk


As of right now I work in a corner of my home.  I have a large desk to work on, with lots of wall space to hang things, and a nice big sliding glass door right behind me which gives me lots of natural light.  But unfortunately this space is in the front hall of my house.  So you walk in the front door and BAM, Pretty Pretty is right in your face!  My dream workshop is a small building in my backyard.  Somewhere I can go and be ALONE, which right now is IMPOSSIBLE do to the fact that I am smack dab in the middle of everything that's going on.  Constant interruptions from children, phone ringing, opening and closing the slider behind me to let the dog in and out, in and out.  Ahhhh one day I will have that little workshop.

Workshop Inspiration


  Some day...In the mean time I am a full time wife and mother.  Meet my family; "The Kreamer's";


Pretty Pretty Ava Selene, 8 
My baby girl.  She is the inspiration behind the name of my business.  It is what we have always called her.
Well, she's still very pretty, fun, wild and crazy but she is quite the girly girl.  She always has on a piece of my jewelry or one of her own creations. (I made the elephant she is wearing, she made the wood choker, not bad). 

Maximos, 9 
The sweetest boy in all the land.  Since the day he was born this child was, loving, caring, kind, smart and so observant.  He is someone that can find a compliment for anyone.  I wish I could be as nice as he is.  I so admire him.


Kohl 17
My first baby.  He is the person in my life that taught me how to love unconditionally, and I am so grateful to him for that.  But right now; he is 17, learning to drive, learning to work, learning about people and relationships , going into his senior year in high school and driving me out of my mind. Ha ha.  But he is also very funny and one of the most polite young men I know.  And I am very proud to call him my son!


Kenny, my husband, my best friend, my soul mate and my favorite person in the whole wide world.
We have been together forever and before that we were best friends.  I can hardly remember him "not" being in my life, and I don't know where I'd be with out him.  He pushes me up,  inspires me to be a better person, he rights all of my wrongs and gives me wisdom and knowledge in my faith.  Without him I would be lost.

Well, that's all about me and my life.  I plan on making this blog mostly about my jewelry and fashion, but I'm sure there will be some family drama tucked into it also.  Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and my family.  I look forward to getting to know you too.  God Bless!
