Lily of the Valley Necklace

As soon as I received the June 2011 issue of Bead & Button I knew I had to make the necklace on the cover. I LOVE lily of the valley and working with seed beads. I learned some new stitches and thoroughly enjoyed working on the piece. I think I can wear the necklace up or down and will wear it soon. Happy beading!

New Earrings!

It's been awhile since I have made some new things. The past couple of days I have made some pretty earrings for Spring and Summer. I am posting a few of my new creations which I have listed in my Etsy Shop. Swarovski and Vintage are my favorites plus I can't stop from using pretty resin flowers. Soon I need to start making things for Christmas!

Paramus High School Spring Craft Show

Tomorrow I will be at the 8th Paramus High School Spring Craft Show for the first time! I am looking forward to this show. The school is on Century Road in Paramus an the hours are 10:AM to 5:PM. So if you are near by please stop on by!

Thinking Flowers Today

Today I was in the mood for flowers. I am already tired of the cold, snow and ice. So instead of cleaning my work room I made some flower earrings from some new supplies I received recently. I think they turned out pretty nice. I like combining the sparkle of the Swarovski crystals with opaque stones. These happen to be vintage and I am loving them.

It's been awhile since I have posted to my blog. I have been soooo busy with craft shows and making things, there are not enough hours in the day. This past weekend I participated in the Whitehouse Station Firehouse craft show. What a show! I was totally impressed with the organizers, friendly, organized, helpful and I had lots of sales. I hope I get invited to the Spring show and get to do the winter one again for 2010. Now to get ready for the Northwestern Christian School show at the Sussex Fairgrounds. I am busy making Christmas earrings, trees, snowflakes and poinsettias. So I better get going!
