I love to see the beautiful jewelry that is made with the beads I create. So many different styles, its wonderful!
This bracelet is made by Carla Foster. She doesnt sell her work so its NFS. She makes beautiful jewelry, I'd wear it all!! This bracelet has the cutest little flying pigs, just adorable!!

Thank you for sharing Carla!!

July already?

Geez, I can't believe its July already!! I've been so busy with life these days that I've totally neglected things.
I have been doing some earrings and kumihimo braids tho......that I can do at night while I'm sitting.
Want to see.......

So yes, I have been busy. We also lost a family member, my sister in law, who was more like a real sister to me that I've ever known. She passed on unexpectedly on March 6th, 2013. Her only daughter is getting married tomorrow, July 4th. Her mom will not physically be there in the traditional way but in spirit she will be there, with all. I was able to make a necklace for her daughter using cremains beads. They turned out beautiful and the necklace just reminds me so much of her moms blue eyes. Its not the same blue but they sparkle just like Lyns did when she smiled. I did take a few pictures before sending it up north for the wedding.

So I guess yes, i've been busy...... Hope your summer is going along wonderfully!
Till next time,
Sue

Whats new!

I'm back. Its been just over a month since my last post. I've been busy with life, Drs 2 days a week, kids, garden, dogs and friends have moved back to Florida and right across the street! Jess doesn't play with fire like I do but she does like to craft so YES, I'll take that....having a friend that enjoys creating is a good thing! :-) She likes to crochet and does beautiful work! her Etsy shop is https://www.etsy.com/shop/MamadukesCreations She makes the cutest things. Her Etsy shop is just getting started this item that already sold and my favorite, but no worries, you can have her make one for your little one as this is a made to order item!! I'm sure once she is settled into her new home she will be back up and running with a nice full shop!! Right Jess?! I've been making earrings......and have loads more pairs to make into more earrings. Heres a pair I've finished. Its not listed in my shop yet but will be soon! thanks for stopping by, until next time take care! Sue

Second Reveal..........drum roll .... My bead Soup!

Lupe Meter, http://gesmpccorner.blogspot.com/ Sent me this bead soup.......well I, being very new to making any kind of jewelry was totally stumped on what to do with her beautiful polymer focal. I would just sit and look and move things around and just had no clue. I figured her focal piece should stand out so I would go with what I knew best, simple! Heres the soup she sent me and the beautiful focal piece! And here is what I've come up with. I actually no longer have it in my possession. My daughter was modeling it for me and when she went home, it went home with her. She doesn't wear much jewelry but it looked beautiful on her so I didn't mind it leaving at all. Lupe, I hope you like what I've made with your beautiful soup and focal piece! Since I'm late getting started I need to get going on seeing this second reveal and I'm starting with http://gesmpccorner.blogspot.com/ For the rest of the list of blogs head over here.......http://www.prettythingsblog.com/ Be sure to look at Loris' blog first, her soup there is beautiful!! Thanks for stopping by sue
