So very charming!

This took me about an hour to do. Most of the charms are from Blue Moon's new line, Madame Delphine's. The flowers are from Plaid, and the pendant, Eiffel Tower, and crown are a Michael's brand. The metals are slightly different, but I think the charms all work together.



Close up- I just couldn't resist the tower charm!

New projects, new charms!

This necklace was made from charms, ribbon, and findings from Petals a Plenty from Plaid.



Mom picked these beads. She loves animal prints, and wanted a necklace to match one of her animal outfits.



All from Blue Moon!

Blue Moon has a new line of beads and charms. I picked these up today:




I'm going to have fun with these!

Haven't been beading much...

Finished this one a couple of weeks ago. I may change it. The chain and little black "gems" are from Black Lace, the hearts are part of the big batch from Fire Mountain Gems. I added black Swarvoski crystals.



I think I'll do a bit of beading tonight.

A quick finish, and new beads!

I put the little chair box on a chain with some Swarovski crystals:

Michaels had a big sale- including a line from Plaid that they're not going to carry anymore:

They had a lot of new things.

Awwww.

Itty bitty chair. The picture is much larger than life-size!

It's just over an inch tall. From Blue Moon. I picked it up yesterday at Jo-Ann Fabric. All it needs is a chain, and I have the right kind.

Meet the Mets!

I made a bracelet to show support for my favorite baseball team!

Have a heart...or 200!

Mom ordered a bunch of glass heart beads from Fire Mountain Gems. Almost 200 of them!

Photobucket

They're so gorgeous. I'm going to have fun with them. They range in size from 25 to 12 mm. Some have foil, some are lampwork, others have millifiore accents.

Photobucket

I also have some baseball charms, including a New York Mets charm. I wish they had charms for the Nationals and Rockies, too. One of the Mets charms will go to my sister, to add to her New York bracelet.

I made two necklaces with the beads I bought on Sunday:

Don't worry, be hippie!

Peace and Love!
