Blue Bead Barf Bracelet

I finished this bracelet a month ago
but apparently it is camera shy

It is actually a variation of the "Bead Goulash Bracelet"

from the book Dazzling Beaded Jewelry

lovingly called Bead Barf Bracelet

Been Beading...............

These bracelets are from Bead and Button magazine Oct 2008. They are fun and I learned cross weaving with 2 needles. My materials are less than stellar, but cute for costume jewelry and work up in a flash!

This bracelet is also from Bead and Button magazine. I started it here and finished it yesterday (along with the above bracelets) after not touching it sense. I love it and plan on making more in different color combinations. All this beading lately got started from those simple Xmas ornaments I was making.

My first Mosaic

Well, the picture is terrible. I took it with my phone and then forgot to get a good picture at the party. But anyway, Leigh is the (hopefully) proud owner of my 1st piece of mosaic. It was in her birthday gift bag from me. Ah, the lure of glass crafts. I'm hooked!!

Doris's Birthday

We had a lovely dinner at Newell House in C'dale. YUM! A few of the Club members are sick (bad timing for them) so our crew was smaller than usual but no less fun. I can now report on her gift from me. It was a knotted necklace from my new book "Chinese Knots for Beaded Jewellry". It has a Prosperity Knot

and double button sliding closure and is made in her sorority colors.

My first Knotted Project!

Come on over to the Crafty side

I thought I should start a specific blog for crafty news. Then I won't bore anyone on the regular blog. Last night was Wednesday Nite Craft Meeting. We all did our usual hodge podge, and I worked on my blue cable socks which I had cast on in September 2003 GULP! That was before "THE TENDONITIS" (which of course has wrecked my crafting life). I found the completed 1st sock a few months ago and decided to rack up an easy FO (finished object). One sock already done and they are worsted weight on size Fours (magic loop) should go fairly speedy. Been doing a few rows here and there ("the tendonitis"). I finished decreasing the toe last night and Kitchenered it today. All Done. I must have had a drastic change in gauge, but who cares, they are just for me (and just acrylic). Here they are in their blue acrylic glory..........

tried to get a detail of the cables.....pretty blurry

and so not the right color, but I do not claim to

be a photographer.
