On Saturday one of our friend’s turned 29…again. 😉 I hadn’t made a necklace in a long time so I decided to pull out my beads and see what I had to work with. The necklace and earrings I made are bronze beads with silver findings. I couldn’t just leave it at that, so I made a satin jewelry pouch lined with velvet to go with it. A lady needs some prettiness!Â
Sorry the picture didn’t turn out too clear. I should have taken it on a solid surface, but I thought the stone had a lot of the same colors. Unfortunately they all kind of blend together.
I am hoping to accomplish a few projects this week while I am on vacation.  I am going to try to paint part of the basement, though, so I may not get as much done as I want.  I got all the many, many spiders vacuumed up yesterday, so I’m off to good start, right?? Generally when I take a week off, I keep the kids in daycare so I can get things done like painting, sewing, etc. I try to be productive and get caught up with life. I hope I’m successful!
What can you NOT do? Lovely necklace.
Hope you can get some stuff done! 🙂
Lovely! You are too silly! ‘A solid surface!’ it actually looks like rock to me!
Cheers
There is no end to your talent, Stacy!
I wish you LOTS of productiveness on your vacation – but be sure to take a little time to, well…you know, REST, too! 🙂
Hmmm, yes I’ve done the same thing. When I decide to take a “mental health” day off and stay home the kids still go to school and W.W. off to daycare. It’s nice to have a day to catch up on projects. The necklace looks great!
One more thing to add to the list of things Stacy can do, and do well…
Really? Is there any craft you don’t do! It’s very beautiful!
Okay, I may just have to go on a read-strike with your blog. I feel amazed, yet totally useless after I read about all the things you seem to be able to whip up from thin air! 🙂 Just kidding – you are so talented, love to see your creativity! 🙂
Productivity? What’s that again? Those were LOVELY Stacy. LOVELY.
I LOVE those vacation days with the kids in day care, I can get SO MUCH DONE. I never knew how much free time I had until I had kids…have a great, productive week, we can’t wait to hear what you come up with!
Another hidden talen I didnt know you had…Jewelry maker. I love the satin pouch you made. That is beautiful. Hope you have a wonderful vacation week. I bet you will feel good about accomplishing so much while the kids are away. And I am sure the kids will have a great time playing at daycare!
Lined with velvet no less1 Your friends are so lucky!
That’s a really pretty necklace set. I’ve been thinking of trying my hand at jewelry making…stringing beads looks meditative. I used to do hemp/macrome necklaces (aka tying knots). I enjoyed that.
