And more new goodies...

Michaels has a new line- Industrial Chic. It's very interesting...

I like the idea of turning found objects into jewelry! I'll have to pick up a few pieces.

Uh-oh!

Goody Beads. I've never visited the site before, and now I can't stop looking!

I especially like the bead pen kits.

I have a nice coupon to use that doesn't expire for a month...I have some serious shopping to do!

New goodies and a finish!

I've been too busy to do much recently- but today I went shopping and found some great new stuff! A.C. Moore had some things I'd never seen before:

I like the Vintage Groove stuff! And Blue Moon's Bella Artiste line is a winner. I combined one of their pendant and one of the Vintage charms:

Blue Moon's Design Studio line will be fun to work with. I've been looking for "blank" pendants to make my own designs with.

New stuff at Michaels...

I like the new "Bella Boho" line from Bead Landing. I picked up these charms the other day, and just put them on a chain:

A very quick project that I'll get to wear often. I love the colors.

More quick finishes!

I started this one a while ago, but couldn't decide what to finish it with. I finally just attached some extra charms!

I bought two sets of several charms when Michaels had stuff on clearance- I made two pairs of earrings with the pearls.

It's nice to have easy projects to finish in a hurry!

Both made with charms from Blue Moon:

I love the peacock. It's one of the new pieces from Orient Express.

Haven't been doing much...

For some reason, all I've recently felt like doing bead-wise is sort out my stash. I just haven't been feeling very creative lately.

I did put together one little thing last month- I found this sweet Jolee's Jewels birdcage charm at Jo-Ann Fabric. All it needed was a chain to match.



I picked up some beautiful new beads at Michaels the other day- they've added to their Bead Gallery collection. I have some dyed and faceted jade beads that look like little candies. I'm not sure yet what I'll do with them, but whatever that project is, it will be "sweet". :)

Wow, I have five followers! I'd better get back to work so I can post more.
