And now for Christmas…

And now for Christmas…

I found these beautiful beads at Jewelology in Charlotte last week.Christmas beads
I’ve made these green earrings:green and gold

UH, oh. ‘Looks like I left my tiny fluted bead cap off the earring on the left. (‘Sounds like song lyrics!) I think I like it better than the other, so, I’ll just get rid of it on the right one with some snips. That’ll be much easier than taking it apart.

Hello, Blog!

Hello, Blog!

I have been doing lots of crafting, but no blogging, It’s time to get back to it! Here’s an update on Mama’s House: A friend of my husband’s did some work for us that included hanging some shelves and organizers at Mama’s house. These are RIBBA picture ledges from IKEA. They are now called MOSSLANDA for some reason, but are great for storing little seed bead containers and small bottles of patina and nail polish. These are beside the china cabinet in the dining/classroom.Ikea shelves

This magazine rack in the den is from Hobby Lobby. I’ve been waiting to put it up so long, it was covered in spider webs.Magazine rack
These are old dresser drawers that I had stained inside. They’re on a wall in the bedroom I’m using for scrapbooking and sewing. The friend hung my Fons&Porter design wall, too. I’ll photograph it, again, when I have a “design” on it. dresser drawers
