Green with envy

There is just something about this light green carved jade medallion that I love.  I am very drawn to it.  It makes me think of an Ancient Asian culture from long ago.  I have played around with it for quite some time trying to figure out how it should be presented.  To me, the suede is right on with the character of this piece and allows the bracelet to fit almost any wrist!

I have another little something something I am envying today as well!  No more little boys book bag in the middle of the floor when he comes home!   I got my sweet husband to stop long enough to put up the coat rack I made.  The coat rack I made from scrap pieces that I had left over from various projects.  The bench is a modified Ana-white.com design.  Her things are wonderful & fun to build. 



Pretty in pink - earrings

These are just sweet & simple earrings to go with the rose quartz bracelet from yesterday. 

I almost forgot to post today because I have been caught up in getting shelves in my craft closet.  My sweet husband worked all morning installing them,  So thankful for him, his talents, and his ability not to scream at me when he all the stuff I had.  Here are a few pictures to let the world know the chaos I had going on.  It's scary!

Seriously - that's just half of the closet!  And yes I was beading on the floor in the middle of all the stuff.  I could not walk into the room without falling down, but I could always find a place to sit and bead.  Oh what a strange girl I am!

The stuff out of the closet & down the hall.

Cleaned out, and new shelves in.

Everything back in it's new spot - LOVE IT!

Do you see all the unused space - humm what do I need to do next?? 

SHOP for more SUPPLIES!

Pretty in Pink

Today is pretty in pink with some rose quartz.  The diffrent sizes & shapes look so good with the diffrent color varations in the stones.  The sterling silver also gives it a extra little pop of wow!

Moonstones

Moonstone gives a lot of bang for the buck.  It picks up light and shimmers its translucent glow.  This necklace is pairs faceted moonstome with amystine in the center.  The leather cord is adjustable and gives it a versitility when you wear it.  The earrings are moonstone chips and quartz. 

Oh Honey!

Today was 18* when I woke up.  Let me remind you - I live in the south for a reason.  I do not like the cold.  It was good though, I am spending the day in my jammies! 


I love the beautiful & deep color of honey jade.  Today I have paired it with various shaped amber czech glass.  The glass is transluncent to the opequet jade.  This pairing is so nice in both the bracelet as well as the earrings.

Golden Girls

Sparks of gold, browns , and clear stones mixed with the same hues of glass on this beaded bracelet.  had fun making this mixed up piece, a first of this kiind.  I like the results. 

Earrings  to go with the bracelet.  Quartz, smokey topaz & a little honey jade.  The picture does not do the earrings justice! 

Happy New Years

Being out of town without Internet access makes a New Years Challenge to post a design a day quite the challenge in itself!  Not to worry though,,,I will post two today! 

The New Year makes me think about my family & how way to soon my little boy will be all grown up.  As much as I hate it, I look forward to seeing the person he is rapidly becoming.  He is my special gift from God!  Thank you Lord!

The first post is a silver wrapped birds nest with our birthstone crystals in it.  We are all cozied up together! 

Today's post is a bracelet with a green stone - have no clue which green stone - and silver. The coloration is gorgeous.
