spring treasury and a remake of a girly design

Michele (idahobeadweaver) included my Beaded Pendant - Peyote Triangle - Spring Green in her Etsy Bead Weavers are Ready for Spring Green and Blue Skies! treasury yesterday.  Thanks Michele!

Also, here's one of my recent remakes.  This listing was badly in need of some new pictures.  The OT that I work with at my school bought the original one over the summer so I still get to see it, which is neat.  I'm going to make a turquoise/red version of this design next.  I have some other remakes done (just not photographed) so I'll have some more updated listings over the next couple weeks.

Beaded Bracelet - Silver Links - Girly

a girlier side of life (perfect for Valentine's Day) and some Vitamin C

Two of the treasuries that I've been in this past week are girly and full of lots of items that are perfect gifts for Valentine's Day.  Janet (HoneyFromTheBee) included my Silver Dangle Earrings - Pink Shell (which is their second treasury appearance already!) in the latest EtsyBloggers' weekly treasury: EtsyBloggers Team: Strawberries and Cream.

CraftedRoots included my Beaded Cuff Bracelet - Embellished Square Stitch - Red/Purple in their For the Love of Being Yourself treasury.

And for the Vitamin C, Ilenia (ile1974) included my Square Stitch Cuff Bracelet - Embellished - Summer in her Do you need Vitamin C? treasury.  Such a great mix of bright colors that are much needed this time of year!

It's a Girl Thing

Janet (HoneyFromTheBee) included by Button Charm Bracelet - Tortoiseshell Cat in her It's a Girl Thing treasury.  This is one of the weekly EtsyBlogger team treasuries.  I absolutely love the color combination that she put together in this collection.  Thanks Janet!

new girly bracelet and a few sneak peaks

I listed the bracelet today that I created with the pink/purple mix I had from my custom order the other week. I usually don't use such girly colors, but I love how this turned out.



I've been working on a non-jewelry Christmas button item that will be for myself. I got the idea from the button book that I posted about last week. I've been taking pictures of the entire process, which I'll share when I finish it. For now, here's a picture of my button/bead mix for it.


The button book also inspired me to experiment with button magnets. Here's my first (but definitely not my last) set, before I put the magnets on.


Finally, the December EBW Challenge theme is Peace Piece. When I read about it on the blog, the first color that came to mind was blue. I have an embellishment idea that I've been wanting to try for a while. This challenge will be the perfect opportunity for me to give it a shot. Here's my mix for the base.
