Easter's Coming

Well, Easter is on it's way and I'm not ready yet! I did get my Daughter's "girls" their stuff from Grandma, done but still have to come up with something for the only Grandson! Boy's are really hard to make things for!!! I'm working on socks for my Son's girls. Got to get cracking on those, not much time left, Easter is so early this year. At least his kids are close, so don't have to worry about getting things mailed and there before the "holiday".

The pink "roses" necklace is for our 12 year old,

the cream and yellow "waterlilies" necklace is for the 6 year old and the "bunny and carrots" necklace is for the two year old. I strung the bunny one on 10 lb. test fireline and put a magnetic clasp on it so hopefully a little girl trying to see the bunny won't break the necklace, it will just pop apart!

Hope you all have a nice Easter!

Store's Getting Stocked

Well, I finally have a few things in my Etsy store. I just put in two new purses. One's felted with beaded embellishments. I got a gorgeous peacock feather pattern from Glenda Payseno. The pattern is for earrings but I did a few extra rows and made it to go on the purse, then I did just the eye of the feather for the back. They cover where the magnetic snap closure attaches. If you'd like to get the pattern for the feather, here's the link to Glenda's site:

It's the 4th one down on the page and it's downloadable, which is GREAT because you don't have to wait for it to come in the mail!!

The other purse is knitted with Noro Iro yarn. It's a bulky yarn of wool/silk blend and knitted on smaller needles than you would usually use, so it's a fairly tight weave. VERY sturdy. I have one like it (different color) that I use year round.

I've also added some new dangly earrings that are so pretty and they're made with either sterling silver or gold filled earwires, chains and findings, so unless you're REALLY sensitive to metals, you should be able to wear them. The pink ones are with the gold filled and there's blue ones made with sterling silver.

I've got two more purses I'm trying to get finished and on there, so pop in a take a look.

Our Winter is on it's way OUT!! I know this for sure........my front flower beds told me this morning. Even though there's snow in the yard, my tulips, crocus and daffolils are all up where ever the snow has disappeared. I can't wait for SPRING!!! Morel mushrooms, here I come!

New Things in My Store

Well, I got somebody to model my stole. Thanks so much, Cindy. Larry thanks you, too!! I think he really thought I was going to use him to show it off. Ha! Ha!

I made three new pair of CZ earrings for my shop and put in several new pieces. All totaled, there are 12 bracelets, 6 pair of earrings and 6 necklaces. Plus my stole and a couple of checkbook covers. I haven't dug into my quilts yet, so something from there may show up in the next few days. I need to leave the shop to itself for a while and make a couple of quilts. One for a class at our local fabric shop, EZ KNIT, and one for a Graduation gift for a niece. That should keep me busy this week and probably into next! As soon as the weather warms up a bit, I'll get some baskets made and do some fabric dyeing. My hands don't feel right being all one color! :-)

Have a great week and use the link to the right to see the new things in my "Store".
