Creamy flowers with Apple Green Beads

Some new colors for this jewelry. Just had an idea of a soft cream with a fresh green splash...here's what I came up with. It is a variation of the black with sliver beads I made a few weeks ago for a fundraiser.

Everything's Coming up Daisies!

Lately I have been working through some designs in tatting. I came across a daisy pattern I liked and thought I could use to make jewelry. So I did. Take a look at these..

Simple Daisy Earrings

Daisy Bracelet

Daisy Medallion Necklace

After I put these together I was going through some old broken jewelry and found some beads I thin I will add to the tatting in the center of the daisy design. Usually I include the beads when I make the lace and not an after thought, but this time it's a little different.

The lace is delicate and light weight. Adding the beads wont add too much weight to any of the pieces. 

Hope you liked!

Jaw Dropping Beautiful

My dear friend took a trip to Peru and hiked through the mountains. I was so excited for her trip when I heard she was getting to go! She got to visit the ruins of the Incas and see things she never had before. Taste new foods, explore old towns and have rainbows welcoming her along the way to a beautiful land.

Upon returning and settling in, I got this call one morning from her that went something like this: "Hey can I come by for a minute? I have something to drop off." What she dropped off is worth more than anything to me. She brought me Alpaca yarn in a beautiful blue hue. Jaw dropping beautiful yarn it is!!!





It is so soft and fine. Little fibers stick out here and there if you look closely. I knew instantly this was no wool from a sheep! I am dreaming of what I will make with it. I am not sure quite yet, but I know one thing - it will be very special.






I have known this friend since 8th grade. Who would have ever dreamed back then that she would bring me such treasure from so far away? She knows me well. I am truly blessed with her friendship and thankful everyday that I have her. Thank you X! I love ya my beautiful friend!
