    Handmade Scrunchies

    It's been a long time in the making, but I finally did it!!  I learned to crochet.  I have wanted to learn to crochet for many years.  My aunt crochets and I always loved what she did.  She made me a beautiful afghan for my bedroom when I graduated high school.  I still have it to this day and think of her (and my youth) whenever I use it cold on nights. 

    When I finally decided to put hook to yarn, I started with books, then worked my way to DVDs that you have to buy.  I tried the internet and was pleasantly surprised when I found some great sites that teach you, with video, how to do so many stitches.  The sites were easy to navigate, the videos were clear and full of close ups and great instruction.

    The first site I came upon was www.nexstitch.com.  In the top left hand corner of the screen is where all the videos of many stitches can be learned.  I was amazed at how easy to understand these clips were.  The next place for me to look was www.youtube.com.  I typed in the search box for Crochet Videos and came up with a bunch of ladies (and men) that taught how to do crochet stitches as well.  Needless to say, I am hooked!!!

    I have been yarning over (YO) and double crocheting (DC) my way into some pretty things that are useful and fun!  Please keep checking me out to see more.

    Thank you always! 

  • Earring Collections

    7:51 PM PST, 8/23/2007

    I have put together several collections of earrings.  These are earrings that I create, never knowing that I have wound up creating several designs that relate to each other.  I usually will list them one time and if they do not sell, I create a collection and offer them at a discount and provide a Best Offer opportunity.

    Recent collections that have sold have been a Millifiore Collection; which had several different colorful millifiore glass beads with Swarovski and Czech glass accents.  My Sparkly Collection which was a beautiful mix of all kinds of sparkling crystals. 

    Look for other collections in the near future.  I love to put things together that can create an eclectic wardrobe of jewelry.

    A delicious combination of Leopard Skin Jasper, Pearls and Sterling Silver make up this tempting bracelet and necklace combination.

    The Leopard Skin Jasper I found have beautiful shades of pink swirled between browns, blacks and greys.  Each stone is a unique work of art only mastered by Mother Nature herself.  I have carefully designed each piece as to bring out the rich hues and textures of all the elements.

  • Spring Inspired Jewelry

    Wildflowers in the Country and Spring is Here!

    A beautiful addition to your spring jewelry wardrobe.  These lovely bracelets and earrings that I am offereing are created using pretty, colorful millefiori glass beads.

    The term millefiori is a combination of the Italian words "mille" (thousand) and "fiori" (flowers).  I have combined these glass beads with genuine Swarovksi Crystals and Sterling Silver.   Each one is carefully thought out to make sure colors and placement of beads truly shows off the detail of each element.
