Just what I need, updated

Awhile back I posted about a new hobby I have been hooked on. Since I need another hobby like I need a hole in my head, right?  Wait, don't answer that. 

Well it's getting bad- I'm finding myself spending more and more time looking for beads and thinking of new design ideas.  When it consumes more then a few hours a week I know I have a problem.

Anyway, enough blabbing here are a few new items I created recently


The two pictures above are the same necklace, different outfits.

Love this green one, its a funky looking necklace in a bright green color- a perfect pair for the pink sweater I had on that day



Dainty little pearl bracelet with three flat pearls in the center- perfect for everyday.


Now that I'm seeing these all in one spot I think I need to come up with a few different designs besides the multi strand drop bead necklace.

Back to the stores that means.

  13. Wow! I am impressed with your new obsession/hobby! I especially love the green one and the adorable pearl necklace. Sounds like it could be a hit and a new business for you!

  14. Yes, you've fallen down a rabbit hole Alice. However, it looks like your first pass at beading is respectable. I have many friends who are not yet in recovery from the jewelry making addiction. I don't know what it is, but I'm afraid to start for becoming seriously side-tracked. Next will be your Etsy store, then Tucson...for gems. You will be hooked! Be careful!
    Best,

  16. What a fun hobby! (And, maybe a profitable one. . . .) Love the green necklace!

  17. What a fun hobby to have. There's a great store in my area called Meant to Bead, you would probably love it and want to spend hours there. I particularly love the green necklace you made. Green works with so many colors you will definitely get a lot of use out of it.
