I'm Back

It's been a while since I've last posted and if you check out my Etsy shop you will see I've been busy beading away! I've been really lucky that people are liking what I'm making and they have been keeping me busy with custom orders!

What I have found recently is that people are planning get together with family and friends. Small events where it may be just sisters getting together or college roommates getting together and they want a small gift to give to each other. Are you planning something this coming year? What are some great gift ideas? Well bracelets are always a hit and whats nice about that is you can pick a color and they will be built around that. All that are sort of the same but different just like you and your friends. Always fun to make these types of projects.
I was lucky and received from a good friend some beads she found on her vacation. She was kind enough to pick them up for me and I've had them sitting on my bead board for a while trying to decide what I like with them and what cool things can I make. I made the above necklace and I love it. These pretty goldstone teardrops focal beads are so pretty, I paired them goldstone rounds and Czech dark amber sparkle beads with copper spacers. So Pretty and it will look great with multi print items. With summer coming and those wonderful summer dresses this will make you the bell of the ball!!

I also like simple designs and with these cool beads I made the a simple pendant on a copper chain...easy peasy. Will go great with jeans and t-shirt.

Hope you have a great week and don't forget to check out my etsy site for more great items!
