Let it Shine !!

This is some jewelry that I made with some friends recently. We had a great time and I learned to appreciate working and using crystals. I just can't resist a shiny thing .. lol

If i can just figure out how to incorporate my crystals with my crocheting I may never leave home again :) YIKES!









This is my favorite bracelet / earring set (and I have many). They are made in Sworski Sapphire crystals. This picture doesn't do them justice. I just love the color of those crystals when paired with the white pearls. I have Sworski pearls in white/black/grey and mauve. They are undescribably beautiful.






This is a Jesus Bracelet. My friends and I made a bunch of these. It is a soothing story and a beautiful bracelet.

Holiday Hat for Mom

Mom loves her Holiday Ruffle Hat.   We are at Jan's or the Thanksgiving holiday in 2023.  Turkey is almost gone and we are passing the time doing puzzles and crocheting.  I'm enjoying the time with family and yarn.  

Shadow Afghan for Jen & Mike

This project was for my niece and her beau. The last time they came to visit we found a huge frog in the swimming pool which we named Kermit. Anyway, Kermit turned into a major project with pictures and a rescue mission to return him to his home before the chemicals in the pool killed him. I wish I had a picture, but we had a computer crash problem and all was lost.

The pattern was really easy and works up thick and lush. I will do this pattern again. You can find it at http://www.coatsandclark.com/Crafts/Crochet/Projects/AfghansThrows/LW1388+Shadow+Box+Throw.htm


Kermit was a breeze and was a lot easier than it looks. http://strngbn.tripod.com/frog.html

Spiderman !

I finally finished it - I never thought I could do it. But luckily there were several people from Crochetville that were very encouraging.

Here is the free pattern: http://www.angelfire.com/tx5/angelcrafts/patterns/spidermanroundrippleafghan.html

Boobie and his date.

Meet my pal Boobie and his new girlfriend. She doesnt have a name because I couldnt think of one for her.. feel free to suggest something. Boobie is very hot, but his date appears to be a golddigger.

Boobie's woman needs a name. If i had to start a poll i would suggest:

A - Hoochie Momma
B - Girlfriend
C - Boobette

My First Attempts at a Purse

I finally found a purpose for eyelash yarn. I Have tried it on several thing and never found anything that is worth the trouble of working with it.. what a disaster yarn. BUT, for this project it worked just fine. I have a hard copy of this pattern that I found online, but I can't find the original post. I will continue to look .










This little wristlet is perfect for a small wallet and some gum. I made it for my daughter and my mom lined it with dark blue silk. My daughter loves it.

It worked up really quickly and the pattern was perfect and easy to read. You can find the pattern here:

Jewerly

I just love making jewelry. Crystals are my passion. That is one of my favorite bracelets. I guess I should have also taken a wider shot, but I was trying to show off the mauve Sworski's pearl.
