This post is a little recap from a recent trip to Coronado. It offers a little jewelry, mostly vacation pics, and some pretty foliage. Here is a little peak into some pretty images and some images of people you don’t know. It is a quick scroll-through. Thought I would mix it up a little. Our […]

Olive Beaded Lariat
I made this a long time ago when I was in a beading mood. Ā It was before I had attended the Sewing and Stitchery Expo in 2013. Ā It was in with all of my other lariats, hanging there, lonely, until I finished the jacketĀ in a prior post. Ā I don’t wear lariats often because they […]

Well, I am usually unsuccessful. Or this may be subjective. The amount spent by one person may be outrageous to another. Anyway, there […]
One Necklace 4 Ways

Simple stringing with a lobster claw clasp and chain allows the necklace to be lengthened or shortened and worn any way you want. Supplies were beads I had in my stash. Frankly, I just started stringing […]
