Icicle dolls

These are icicle dolls that were made for a swap in one of my yahoo groups. They were so much fun to design and dig through my embellishments. If I had taken a picture of my crow that was also in a swap, I would have included that one too. I wasn't certain that I could show the one that I received but it was awesome. I always enjoy seeing how everyone's swap is so different.

I love this bracelet that is done in sterling silver. Again influenced by another friend, I love the way that this goes with anything.

Though I have shown mainly jewelry there are many other things that I enjoy doing. Look further!

this one is more difficult to see as the pastel colors are light and it was difficult to get the highlights just right. It is called a bubble bracelet that another friend showed me and I made mine smaller than hers. I love the pastel colors but will not use a magnet on a bracelet again. It was lost the first time I wore it but my dear husband found it after the snow had melted! What a man!

More Jewelry

This necklace and earrings were a result of a friend that made one out of copper also. I loved the chain and the use of using copper for I mainly work with silver.

These are our two rescued schnauzers that give us many laughs. The pure black one is the oldest, Casey, and he is the big brother in many ways. He has taught the youngest one, Smokey, how to not be afraid. Smokie came to us so thin and afraid of his own shadow. Now he lets the world know he is here. They both play with each but fight just like real brothers. They are about a year apart.

This is a quiltie that I made for a swap in one of my Yahoo groups. We make a quiltie every month and I always let is get away before I take a picture but I think I'll just add it to my blog each month then I can have a record of it. It is made using many stitches from my machine plus couching some of the ribbon and chenille that I have. I love the heart that came in a monthly package I receive.

Jewelry

In one of my blogs I mentioned that I liked to make jewelry. This is a piece that I completed not long ago. It is using black and gold triangles. It gives the look of the gold triangles but the black is the predominant color.

Another piece is a coraling necklace that is red and made for the month of February. I used many seed beads and some of the neatest hearts that I found at the bead shop.
