More Jewelry

 Having some more fun with rings

 Top is blue Agate, I love the color variances on this one. 

Below is coral Agate, with matching earrings.

Friends with Flair in Rhubarb

 I made this for Unity's Friends With Flair. I used a page out of the dictionary, and stamped Donna Downey's Insightful Meadows, in Memento Rhubarb ink(my fav). The Sentiment is from Papertrey.

 After I put the card together, I started reading some of the definitions. This one cracks me up! The sentiment is saying how "special you are" and to left underneath is the definition for windbag: a person who talks a lot but says little of any value.

Can I really send this to someone? LOL

African Yellow Opal

 Trying my hand at bracelets now.

 This is African Yellow Opal. It is a beautiful creamy butter color.

 I also read that if you put something that hangs near the clasp, that will keep your bracelet from moving around too much, I guess it acts like a weight, to keep it from spinning. And I have been enjoying creating those weights just as much as the bracelet.

 So my problem is: I like it to spin around my wrist, so I can see the weight. LOL

CAS(E) Challenge 19 & CHF

 I haven't been stamping in a while, so we had a fun day at Mom's, making cards!

I thought the CAS(E) challenge was a good place to start, and the Cornish Heritage Farms' challenge for a manly card was just what I needed for our 20th anniversary coming up in just a few weeks.

 I used CHF Bicycles set for the main image & sentiment, stamped in Memento Espresso Truffle. Then I sponged the edges in Papertrey Chamomile Tea dye.

Handmade Rings

 Earrings one day, and rings the next. I had so much fun!!!!

The top one was my inital try to see how it was going to work. I don't know what type of stone that is, but it reminds me of a Chicklet piece of gum. I used to love those as a kid, maybe that's why I like it so much. LOL

But this one is my favorite! I am wearing it right now, as I type, and I just LOVE it!! And it was fun to do, I love the little bit that I wound into the side. I think it just finishes it so nicely.

This is the easy, 6 min tutorial, that I used to make these. It was very easy to follow!

Handmade Jewelry

 OK! I've found a new hobby! Dave is thrilled! LOL!

I have been watching YouTube videos on wire wrapping.

It is very fun!

Here is a link to the Earrings video.

And here is a link to the pendant video.

Crocheting Again

 This is what I've been doing lately.

 Popcorn stitch.

 This one is Organic Cotton, I will be posting it in my etsy store, as soon as I can get some other pics.
I used this pattern from Crafts n Things.

 This one was for Doris.

 This one was for Jo.

This was for Carolyn, it has a silver fleck, with a little ruffle on the ends.
