To start off with, a necklace...
I had this pendant made by my friend LeAnn from
Summers Studio. She custom made it for me because I HAD to have this colour. It is a hard one to make and has varied results so she is hesitant to make it since when it does not turn out, it is not favorable. I hope you go visit her blog and Etsy shop, she always has fun stuff to see and buy.
I had to add copper to this one. I also did the two sides different. One side has Peacock Pearls and the other is Australian Jasper. I used a mix of sizes, chain and links and I am so happy with the result, that I just can not part with this one. It is a keeper.
Next some Bookmarks...
The first is a special order from my friend Dominique. She is french from France and is a lovely, lovely woman. Her favorite colour is blue, so I combined one of my lovely blue lampwork beads from
Sue Beads. As always I will praise the fantastic quality of these beads and how lovely a person Sue is. Make sure you go visit her blog and hop on over to her Etsy shop for your own
SueBeads.
The second also has one of Sue's Beads. This is extra special because this is part of the first SueBeads I owned. I won them on her blog giveaway and it started my passion for her beads. We all hope that when we give something away it will generate business. I don't think that Sue expected quite that much, but I am in the process of special ordering beads for a project that you will have to keep coming back to hear more about. All I can say is they will all have her beads...
And An Angel...
This is my Angel. 22 month old Eve-Angeline {Eve is the french pronunciation} She is the youngest of 4 and she is my world. {only because she is the only one that does not talk back;) }
I found her like this in my bed yesterday afternoon. I guess she was tired after all. I had just spent about half an hour trying to get her to lay down in her bed without success and after giving up, put her in my bed in front of a Little Einstein show and voila. A perfect little Angel...
Come back again soon

I don't know what has gotten over me today, I just went wild! I think I made over half a dozen bracelets and most of them before breakfast! I have been working really hard to be organized and have all my work sorted and labeled, and today I just happened to notice that I was pretty low on finished bracelets! Well that just won't do!!! They are my best seller and I need to have quite a few on hand to be able to offer my regulars a good selection as well as anyone new. So here I went, and if I had had no kids and no plans, so help me I would most likely still be going! I have some pretty good results too, I just need to photograph and post. It was a pretty good day, all in all.
I have been having so much fun with these Ceramic pendants from Summers Studio. I just love the way they look with metal chain. I find it makes the pendants stand out. I just can't wait for all the new goodies I ordered, I am going to go on a creating frenzy!!
You can really see how this pendant stands out with the copper chain. Adding the beads is just for a little extra something, that brings out the rich colours of the pendant.
Cute little toggle at the back and you're done!
These earrings were made with locks and keys all dangled together. They are with a friend right now, I am bartering with her for some photography. I used all Vintaj products for those ones.
These earrings were also made with all Vintaj but I brought in a little shine with some peacock fresh water pearls. Once again I am wishing I could wear them. My ears would not take the abuse unfortunately. I love the butterflies and how I added them at the very bottom of the dangles. Very charming.
These earrings are All Vintaj products with the addition of a petty purple Swarovski Crystal on each earring. These are so elegant and pretty, I would just love to wear them. Unfortunately for me Brass swells up my ears. I did just order some stuff from Fire Mountain Gems that is supposed to help. We will see and I will let you know. I don't know when I will get the chance to list some of my new earrings on Etsy, but keep checking back to see...

I could only submit 2 photos of my project and since I thought this one turned out pretty well I figured it would make a nice last minute teaser!! The last day to submit is tomorrow and I got it all done last night. Now the anticipation begins. I picked this toggle clasp because it seemed to go well with the colours and theme. So all you can see is a few bits and pieces of the interwoven strands of the necklace. You will have to go to The Beader's Muse to see the finished result. Of course I will be posting it as well so come see me here too...
Just a quick post today, I have simply been spending way too much time on the computer looking at all your wonderful blogs and playing on Facebook {curse facebook}, and not enough time creating and taking photos of my works. I made these fun Dangles a few weeks ago and thought it would be fun to post them today, since they are the same lampwork beads I used on one of the bookmarks. All the brass is from Vintaj and the lampwork beads are from Beadazzled {she has a sale on until early August}. That is about it I think.
