beads. my one long lasting passion.

Jewelry hanger

These three images look interesting each in their own way

I am in desperate need of some organization of my jewels. Not only are they always tangled but I wear only a fraction of the pieces because I forget what I have stowed away

So these are a few of the knitted accessories that I made last year. I was in anthropology for the first time today & spotted these very same styles of flowers attached to headbands & other hair accessories. I walked out of the store feeling very pleased with myself indeed.

I finished sewing the purse that I had envisioned close to a year ago, better late than never I guess...  I was quite pleased with how the puckering worked out, I just sewed vertical lines & then pulled the threads to for the bubbling effect. I used handles off of an old purse that was headed to the garbage, I just covered them with matching fabric. It doesn't look very professional but I've had terrible luck finding handles that aren't cheap little plastic things, I like to be able to fit my purse over my shoulder if at all possible. Also I make things to save money, I'm not interested in spending a whole bunch on handles.

Oh this looks like fun.

I'm enjoying being back in the blogging world, the summer months kept me busy but the fall weather sure is conductive to crafting! There are so many beautiful things out there, so much inspiration. Like I told a friend recently, I think I easily am over stimulated...there is just too much that I love that it's hard for me to focus on just one thing. That's one reason that I could never sell my crafts, I can barely finish a project before I'm off chasing the next idea. I can never make more than one of the same...I've tried.
