Vintage Modcloth Poppy Dress

Poppy Necklace:

Re-purposed vintage earring and 

some of the gifted Fire Mts. beads from Kay. 

Assembled by me.

A Little bit of Sun Shine

If some thing has a bit of yellow in it

you may catch me wearing it.

I enjoyed this personal challenge

of using this sunshine yellow glass beads

with just a hint of mint green.

In the end it reminded me of 

Summer, Sunshine & Lemon Lime Sorbet.

Here is a link to making some

Enjoy!

Thank You Kay!

Two.... count 'em two boxes of Beads!

From Kay and my Mom.

First box came last week from my Mom and Kay

and then

Kay sent me another box of yummy goodness

this week!

Way way Too much to show!

 I figure the best thing will be to mention the use of them

in any of the jewelry I make using them.
So here is the first item I made. A bracelet using the
ceramic red poppy beads, Czech glass beads
and magnetic closer.
The rest were items from my bead stash.
Thanks So Much Kay and Mom!!!

A Lovely Match

A big Thank You to my Mom for making

 these two bracelets especially for me.

They are a spot on match and look fantastic

with one of my favorite Chico skirts.

They dress up any jean out fit too. 

Simply beautiful and easy to wear!

You did a great job Mom.

I just love them!

Ovarian Cancer Gift

I'll be gifting this bracelet and earrings 

to my friend Kathy

 who is battling stage 4 ovarian cancer.

One of those things when you go to the hospital 

for one thing and 

they discover something else.

She is an upbeat lady and very positive.

Realistic too.

I hope the bracelet isn't too over the top 

for her taste.

I have a feeling she will really love the earring though.

(Based on a pair she wears all the time.)

Grasshopper, grasshopper 

among-st the blades of grass, 

I reached to pick you up 

to put you on an Ant hill 

but you hopped away too fast!
