Two pairs of earrings




The first pair are for my niece for Christmas. Her name is Morgan, so the main bead is Morganite. My sister has been wanting some Morganite for her daughter for ages and I finally found some.
The second pair are a simple peridot pear shaped drop, wrapped in rolled gold and finished with rolled gold ear posts.

I need your help....












Here are some of my UFO's.

What I want from you guys, is to stay on my back! Pester me, hound me and don't let up. I really should finish these projects that are scattered all over my craft room.

Some need a lot of work, others just need a clasp....





I am adding myself to the "I need more hours in the day" queue..


I have all these amazing cabochons, and it seems like no time to do them.
Not counting these cabochons, I have 26 projects on the go at the moment.
WOW!!
Maybe I should outsource???

And a UFO that is finally a FO






I started this cuff sooooo long ago, but ran out of beads. As the beads were sent to me in error I had no clue as to what size they were. I finally bit the bullet and bought both size 10 and size 8 delicas so I could finish.
It turns out they are size 10 :)

I added a sparkly little button as a clasp.

And a couple more...




These two 3 drop peyote cuffs are yet to be named and still need clasps, however they are worthy of being shown.

I am finally beading up a storm again....







After a fairly long hiatus, I think I have my mojo back!
I have been having a great time using my collection of 1.5/1.8mm cubes. And of course the weave of choice is peyote. However I went a little nuts and did random 3 drop and here are the results.
I have called this red one The Temptress, she is sexy and sultry and would go perfectly with that Little Black Dress!

Etsy Treasuries

http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=85327

I have been having fun lately doing Treasuries on Etsy. Treasuries for me are a great way to look at items I normally wouldn't look at.

I pick a theme or a colour and go searching using that word or phrase. This treasury, the theme was "Clutching at Straws". I then went searching for straw coloured clutches and anything else straw coloured that fit.
