Finally back at making jewelry when I take time off from being a grandmother to two pretty great kids – Ella & Rhett!

I love making these leather wrap bracelets…they are so much fun to make and allow me to be creative with the materials and designs.

  

Been Planning a Wedding…

We’ve been planning a wedding for my second daughter in early September…actually she’s done all the planning, and I’ve just been writing checks.

So I haven’t spent much time making jewelry – except for the wedding.  But I did make time to make a few bracelets.  I love to work with mixed beads and mixed pearls…they are a each so unique.

Here they are…

 

 

 

Moving Everything to Etsy!

I’m moving all of our items to our Etsy store.  It’s taking some time this weekend, but will be worth it because the selection will be great!  Also adding new designs.

    

    

    

    

     

Using My Leftover Beads

I love mixing and matching beads…especially leftovers from other projects.  Working with the various colors is always fun and you never know where you’ll end up!  Here are a few things that I’ve worked on in between other projects.  The long ones can either be wrap bracelets or long necklaces.

          

Wrap Bracelets

      

I guess I’m a little behind the times since these fun bracelets have been around a while.

And no wonder everyone loves them…not only are they great looking and everyone is unique…but they are fun to make!

Here are a few of the new ones I’ve worked on while it’s been cold on the weekends.

All About Bracelets

It’s all about bracelets these days…from large and chunky to light and delicate.  From a single bracelet to an arm covered with bracelets.  Whatever you want goes when it comes to bracelets.
