How I spent my Saturday afternoon.....

I seem to find my best supplies as happy accidents. These Christmas lights were found black Friday while looking for projects for my boys to do. I love all the different colors. Apparently everyone else does too as this is the second batch I have made since then.

I love changing up the dangles so that everyone gets a pair that suits them. Enough colors to please everyone.

My little snow people I found wandering Wal-Mart looking for wrapping paper Friday on my lunch hour. I am sure that they weren't made to become part of a piece of jewelry, but they worked out just fine.

I love the little details of their faces. They look festive. I can't wait to wear a pair and show them off.

The little scarves are pretty cute too. :-)

Star Light, Star Bright

I came across the star pendants completely by accident. Kind of wandering around in my own head trying to figure out what it was I came in there for. I tend to get into the bead store and just forget. As I wandered around the stars just jumped out at me. I like how the earrings turned out...like little disco balls with the way they catch the light.

I loved this one and seriously considered not even having it for sale. It worked out for the best though. One of my dearest friends grabbed it right up. She will wear it to her holiday party this coming weekend. I hope it's a great party "Fidget" and that you enjoy this piece.

Birds Revisited....

I feel so in love with the birds I decided I had to make another.

I guess it could end up being a bit redundant but I know I am not finished with these little guys. The possibilities are endless. I can guarantee that there will be more of them. My good friend at Witch Hollow was kind enough to fill my head with so many ideas. They are clamoring to come out!

I think that I love the earrings this time as much as I do how this version of the birds turned out.

The Way I Spent My Weekend

Winter wonderland with thoughts of snow. I'm sorry it's blurry - it just wouldn't cooperate!

Close up of the detail on this piece. When I saw it I fell in love with it. This weekend I finally got around to finishing it.

The finished piece....Blue Birds.

Hearts under a midnight blue, starry sky.

Reading back over this I am sure it is obvious that blue appears to be on my mind. I need to work through it as it is time to start holiday orders. Some blues will work for that but most people like traditional Christmas colors.
