New Stuff v 2.0

 I also made these the other night. I used 3 white fresh water pearls and graduating them to make a phone charm. I used the braided gold cord for the phone strap/lanyard.  Also in this phone charm are the gold platted findings, I think that these kind of tie everything together.

Don't forget to let me know what you think of these.

Thanks for looking.


New stitch markers

I was trying to capture the shine and bling of the Swarvoski crystals but I can not do it justice.

These are gold toned with Swarvoski crystals.  The bottoms are apples with the Swarvoski crystal inside it. Thought it was cute and very different.

These stitch markers are for size US 7 (max).  These will be for sale on my Etsy.com shop. Take a look.

The PERFECT purple earrings!

This has been in the making for a while and I have not been able to finish, due to being so busy and having a crazy hectic schedule.

I had finished one side but needed to finish the other side.  And TADA!!! It is finished.

I was debating long and hard, and I will not be selling these.  This is for my private collection :0P

I will however make something similar.


New Stuff v 1.0

So I decided that I needed to add more things to my Etsy.com store. So I decided to make more things to add. I wanted to do something a little different but simple. PHONE CHARMS.

Take a look at these and tell me what you think of them.


Below is a Floral Glass bead with Swarvoski Crystals.  I wanted it to be simple yet elegant. It has gold braided landyard/strap with gold tone findings.

It's OFFICIAL 2nd ed.

So I also made this scarf for my mother. I got the pattern and information from Susan B. Anderson. Excellent teacher and easy to understand and learn from her tutorial videos.

This will also be available online on my Etsy.com shop as well.

This scarf was fast and fun to make. It called for thick and bulky yarn and size 17 circular knitting needles and size 13 dpn's.  What's makes it even better is it's easy to care for: machine washable.

To be honest, I never knew how to do ribbing (knit and purl stitches) and I-cord and braiding, I knew knit and purl but the technique...I never knew existed. This is my 2nd project that I've ever done with knitting and completed. I have tons of incomplete projects. So I'm pretty proud of myself. I almost didn't want to give it up, but it went to my mom...so I know it's in good hands and I'll see it from time to time....put to good use.

Please leave me comments on what you think, much appreciated.

Thank you for looking and have a blessed day!

This is ME

This is a picture I took while driving out to Laie, Hawaii (across island drive for my husband and I). I was trying to be creative and give a little about me without giving it away completely. lol, I don't know how I did so you tell me.

Besides I don't know if people want to necessarily look at me...I'd prefer to look at my work.
