New Swarovski Bracelet

2012-04-22T18:15:00.000-07:00

I am in the process of making a new bracelet. It is very similar to a tennis bracelet. It is made with 24 gauge rose gold wire and blue swarovski bicone crystals. I really like how it is looking so I am keeping the first one for myself, especially considering how expensive the crystals are! ;-) I am even thinking about making a necklace the same way.

Handmade Pink Rosette Chain

2012-04-11T17:16:00.002-07:00

This is my first time working with wire. I made the links by hand, then, made them into rosettes and then linked the rosettes together with smaller links that I also made by hand. I just have to find the right clasp for it now. I am really proud of my first wire worked chain. Please tell me what you think of it. Thank you for checking out my blog.
P.S. Please, Please, Please comment! I need some activity on here, Pretty Please?

New Creation

2012-04-02T20:48:00.000-07:00

This is my newest creation... I made it for my Mother. She has wanted me to make her a jade necklace, I ordered some Swarovski Crystal Jade Pearls. I already had some Coral beads the about the same size. I noticed that these two colors really complimented each other. My Mother and I went and found some silver beads to add some bling to the necklace. I added the bead caps in for a little more flair. It really turned out better than I thought. My Mother can't wait to wear it! Well, on to another new project. I am thinking about trying some Peyote beading. I am always wanting to try something new.

Tiger Eye Necklace

2012-03-26T23:20:00.000-07:00

Well, I have finished a V-shaped Tiger Eye (Synthetic) necklace! It has a magnetic clasp so that it is easy for anyone with arthritis to put on, and take off.

It is my favorite so far! I just love how it turned out! I don't believe the pictures do it justice!

Anyways, here are the pictures of it. Please comment below. Thank you for looking at my handmade jewelry items.

Housework, Blah!

2012-03-22T16:24:00.000-07:00

Well, I have not completed a new jewelry item yet. I have some partially done, still need to add clasps. I have been busy cleaning house. I have been lazy lately, letting the house stay messy while the construction is going on. I am going to make out a schedule for me and Mom, for the housework. This way, we can keep the house looking good and not let us get behind.

We have also decided we are going to start using the treadmill. We each have to figure what our weight goals are. We are going to weigh in on Thursdays. I will post our goals this evening.

Doug has finally hung my ceiling fan/light! I will now be able to use my sewing/craft room without feeling like I am in a cave. Now I just have to figure out why my VCR/DVD recorder/player is not working right.

Well, I can't think of anything else at the moment.
I will be back later this evening.

This is a 72 inch long Light Pink Bead Crochet Rope Lariat Necklace! It kind of reminds me of the flappers style of necklace. It can be worn in a variety of ways. It took me over two weeks to make this item, but it was a labor of love! I am happy with the end result. Thank you for visiting my blog, please comment, and follow my blog. Thank you again.

My First Post, Lariat Necklace

2012-03-13T16:52:00.002-07:00

These two pics are of one necklace that I recently made to sell. I am very proud of it. It is made with size 8 pink and orange seed beads and pink and orange faceted beads to transition to the fringe. It really turned out great if I may say! ;-) I plan to begin a jewelry sales business. I am excited and nervous at the same time! Thank you for stopping by.
