Little Birddies


I had a lot of fun putting these lavender birddies together. They are small enough for a young lady to wear as a "hang-down" pair of earrings and yet not be ostentatious. They look pretty darn good in my ears too! Actually, the first two pair were made for a set of twins, so I made one with a lavender bead above the birddie and the other, a pink bead. Now, their mom can hopefully tell them apart (unless they switch earrings, of course!).

Dreamcatcher Earrings

This is my latest creation...dreamcatcher earrings! Hard to make but beautiful to look at and to wear! Unfortunately, because of all the silver plating, it's been difficult to get a good picture that doesn't shine back at you and make it hard to see the little turquiose chips next to the silver (plated) feather. I'm also experimenting with other colors....lavender with amethyst, red with ? (something... not sure yet on that one), and, because it's May and my daughter's birthday, green with swarvosky emeralds.

I'll be having a gallery for you to browse through very soon!

Beginning A New Quilt...

These are the beginnings of a new quilt....a Victorian Patchwork quilt... done with material sent from my daughter to make my granddaughter a quilt. I decided that since she had alot already, I'd send her a keepsake by adding beads and special lace. The teddybear is lace from a curtain that hung in my daughter's window when she was a baby. The piece of lace you see is from her Aunt Heather's prom dress when she was in high school (pretty gracious of Heather to let me take the lace off her keepsake!). I'll be continuing to update this project as I work on it (between all my other projects, of course!).

Medical ID Bracelets - Beaded & One Of A Kind!

I think these are my favorite bracelets because I hook them to my medical ID tag and I don't have to wear a chain all the time. Since I made these to my collection I've added some new ones that have the smaller fire-polished glass beads interspersed with silver-plated beads. These are more delicate, and I hope to have a new picture of them soon.
