Bridesmaid jewelry

Bridesmaid jewelry

Sewing has become my new craft-time, so the jewelry making has fallen by the way-side. This last weekend, however, I did find some time to spend making pretty baubles for my friend's upcoming wedding (MOH in the house!!)

The colors are pink, sage green, and chocolate, so I got an assortment of beads in those colors: round jade briolletes, some elongated faceted smokey quartz, different sizes of pink faceted glass, and of course pearls in pink and chololate (some real, some glass). I just linked them together with some 24g gold filled wire and added a sparkly cluster with a HUGE smokey quartz drop in the center.

Here is the finished project . I finished off the necklace with a couple links of chain so you can extend the length. There's a dangling pearl that hands down the back in a sweetly sexy way.

I'm working on some matching cluster earrings similar to the middle drop, but without the honkin' quartz drop in the center.

Sewing for the home

The Sew Mama Sew blog is doing a Sewing for the Home edition. http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/

Be sure to check it out. I've also submitted a tutorial. They weren't able to host it on their site due to the number of responses received for the edition, but Beth said if I hosted it and got her the link, she'd send readers my way. Here's to hoping she's able to :) If not, the tutorial to make corn pillows is on the WWCV. http://wwcv.blogspot.com/

Aside from creating the corn pillow tutorial, this weekend I found a GREAT new place in Georgetown. Poppy Quilt and Sew store has Awesome fabrics and tons of Fat Quarters. http://www.poppyquiltnsew.com/ They have a cute little store in Georgetown, lots of Michael Miller fabric! I made a make up bag, coasters and little clutch purse this weekend too!
