I'm back....again!

I can't believe I've let almost 7 months pass without updating this blog.  If you're still visiting my blog, you're a trooper, cuz you probably visit more than I do!  What must I do in order to make sure I stay on track?

Yesterday I sent off a set consisting of necklace, bracelet and earrings to C for her wedding.  She asked me to make it last year and as you can see I am a procrastinator in all areas - even in my hobbies [blush]. 

Without further ado, here is her set:

The bracelet that I love...so much so that I made an extra one!

 By comparison, the necklace is much simpler, because her wedding gown has thick, red halter straps.

And even simpler earrings...(sorry for the poor lighting)

  This is the original version of the necklace.  I like it a lot actually, and I think it'd go well with a strapless dress, but we had to modify it for the halther gown.

Hope you like it, C!

Dramatic lace birthday card

I say dramatic purely because of the colours I chose, but the design itself could definitely be mellowed out by choosing different colours. The "lace" at the bottom were a pain to do but I think it turned out quite well.

And I'm loving the use of ribbons for cards.

Crystal flower ring

One of my early creations was this ring: I created the look of a flower with crystals acting as the petals and a pearl or glass ball in the middle. The band of the ring was put together using glass seed beads.

I've made one for my sister in red+pink, and one for my sister-in-law in blue+pink.
