Paper Bead Mania


Well, we can't complain about the rain here in Maple Valley, WA since we had only one day of rain all winter in El Centro.  It's a good excuse to stay home and drink hot tea and snuggle up with a good book.  Normally.

But I"m not normal.  I've been making paper beads for the last few days and listed a few on Ebay.  See HERE and scroll down a bit.


 or HERE





They are addicting!  I can't stop making them.  I'm making some pendants, too.

Beautiful Pendant Crocheted Necklace


Beautiful Pendant Crochet Necklace was just listed in my Etsy Shop



Price was $16.00 SALE NOW priced at $12.00 THAT'S 25% off!!!

I created this necklace with a polished rock pendant I found while in Quartzsite, AZ. So many wonderful bead shops there! 

This dark gray (grey) polished rock has some beautiful swirl affects and goes beautifully with the clear glass cubes and fresh water pearls. The pearls are gold and silver/black. Stunningly crocheted with pearl cotton crochet thread by DMC.

Please let me know if you'd prefer priority shipping.

41" long and with the pendant about 43" long. 
16 fresh water pearls

What do you think?  Is the price too high?  I've discounted 25%!  Do you like the pendant and would you like to see more pendants? OR some other type of jewelry?

Thanks!!

Get ready for Christmas now! The holidays aren't that far off and this is on the large side.

This filet crochet table topper or doily is a little more advanced but has some repetition to it. It is designed by myself in 2001. The design was generated by Sandcastle Designs, as all my patterns are.

This one measures approximately 30 3/4" X 21" so is a nice size for your dining room table. A green fabric underneath would be gorgeous. It's designed with a #10 thread and a steel size 7 crochet hook.

If you do not wish to receive a pdf file, please let me know.

Thank you and Merry Christmas to all!

Necklace Crocheted Handmade Brown Tiger's Eye Beads with Green Beads


SALE Was $15.00  NOW $13.50

This beautifully crocheted necklace is made using 5 slender tiger eye drop beads, glass seed beads around the back of the neck in in delicate gorgeous coordinating colors and 4 small bright green transparent glass bead disks.

The necklace is crochet with 100% cotton ecru or tan colored thread and closes with a handmade polymer clay button in metallic gold, brown and teal green clays and a crocheted loop. 

It can be worn with a pretty little sun dress or even for an evening out with a silk blouse, knit top or sweater.

Beautiful and light weight measuring approximately 22" long. You won't even know you have it on! 

I try to coordinate my beads by color and sometimes use contrasting threads or beads. To me this one is stunning with the contrasting green clear disk beads!
