Don't you hate going into a jewelry store (not fine jewelry of course) and seeing a necklace or earrings or bracelet and just knowing that it would be so simple to make? I don't know how many times I have said that to myself. The only problem is I never seem to find the time. Well, I put down my current crochet project, which happens to be the shrug on the cover of the May/June Crochet Today, and set to making a couple of long necklaces. Quite trendy right now, you know.
This necklace is made of 4 different glass pink beads with a magnetic latch.

This is a long single strand of silver, gold and copper colored various size beads that can be doubled or worn as a bracelet. With matching earrings.

Here are some blankets I made for my son, the first is a large single crochet blanket made from Lion Brands Homespun in Tudor (soft shades of tan, cream and old rose with hints of purple and blue.) I made it when I was pregnant, before I knew he was a boy. It is so soft and cuddly, Colten loves it.

Oh Kelly! I finally got a minute to snoop around the other blog (I have gone there many times looking for/at pix!) and found this blog. I had not idea you were so very into all of this and soooo talented! Oh my... I'm totally thrilled to see your beautiful work. Your Grandmother Catharine, and Great-Grandmothers, Mimi (Lela)Sheahon and Etheline Edwards would be so proud (and I believe they ARE!). They could all do anything with needles and thread or yarn. It seems that on this side of the family you and I are the only ones who really enjoy doing all of this.
I, too, have been looking at jewelry making lately. I was drooling over the beads at Hobby Lobby the other day. But we have a wedding coming up in a month (my step-daughter) and I still have lots to do with that so anything else has to take a back seat.
You are inspiring me! You go girl!!! Love, Aunt Mary
