A lovely sunday afternoon

After a busy week with the kids getting out of the house while the weather was good , today we all needed a quiet day at home. Everyone was off content to do their own thing so I thought I would indulge myself and start my beaded necklace from Jean at talking beads, my mission was to try out a kit necklace she is think of selling and report back with my thoughts. Here's what came in the kit everything I needed.
I love beads but don't have alot of experience making jewelry so I was a little nervous but the thought of having a lovely necklace which I could keep spurred me on.


Well it was easier than I thought above is the finished necklace and I think I can be proud of it, in fact I really enjoyed it and would happily make another, so there you go Jean you have one happy tester.
And there's more feeling my creative juices flowing I made some birthday cards for family members this ones for my niece, thought it was the safest one to show. She is only six and am sure doesn't read my blog...much more important things to do....eating ice cream and playing :-)

  2. hi Debbie... :)

    your new necklace looks great and i love your handmade card ~ very cute!

    thank you for the sketchbook encouragement, i think i'm getting a littel addicted as i'm enjoying it way too much... i'm wondering if my clients would prefer to buy my sketches rather than finished designs... ;)

    anyway, have a great day,
