CRAFTING IN RETIREMENT

MY FAVORITE NECKLESS

This pretty necklace is one of my favorites but it really is made of shiny silver beads but because I was wearing a blue blouse and my craft room curtains are of a blue, the silver beads picked up on the blue.

This picture is a bit truer to the real color of the necklace plus the unmade earrings. I am looking forward to wearing this pretty set real soon.

Thursday

I THINK I HAVE FOUND MY CREATIVITY AGAIN

I decided that it was time for me to try to use up some of my leftover beads from my collections. And believe me, I have collections!

So this has been a fun few days as I dug through my beads to see what I could come up with. Here is one of the projects that came from that bead hunt...

This is a16 inch necklace and I love the color. So now on to a few more projects! And thanks for stopping by!!

Monday

CHRISTMAS BAZAAR ITEMS

This set of Suncatchers are about 40 inches in length and has many bells and charms attached. What a fun way to use up my pretty beads! They all sold well.

Sunday

CHRISTMAS BAZAAR ITEM

This set of Suncatchers measure about 30 to 35 inches in length and has the bells plus some inspriational charms attached to add more beauty to these pretty Suncatchers.

Saturday

CHRISTDAY BAZAAR ITEMS

I made these because I was looking for a project that would use up most of my clear pretty plastic beads. I designed them to hang in your window and the sunshine shows through them so pretty! These Suncatchers were about 2 inches long and had gold or silver bells attached to them. If hung outside in the summer the bells would spread their sounds through out the air.
