Thimbles

These little puppies are fun to make mostly because each one is different. I am not making a set so I just get to go hog wild. I really like how the swirls in the yellow one turned out.

New Kit Samples

Why make new kit samples you might ask? What was wrong with the ones I already made? Hmm maybe it was because my great salesman of a hubby sold them at the last show. That was a good thing, a really good thing, but I did have to get around and make a couple of new samples before this weekends show. So this time I made a bright 60's one and a fall one.

I should be making beads.......................

but I seem to be having too much fun knitting. After I finished the bag up I really wanted to make these booties I have been thinking about. They are so much fun and work up so fast it really only takes a half hour here and a half hour there and so I have another pair started.

Working this week........

on this bag for the Art in the Bag auction. I have it all boxed up now and ready to go out which is good since it should have been there a couple of weeks ago. I just could not decide what I wanted to do this year so it took a while to knit up once I made a decision. If you would like to know more about the auction click on Art in the Bag and visit the auction blog.

Pretty much the last of it.

Well you knew I would have to make earrings to go with the bracelets and pendents. So here are several pair that go with the last few days of jewelry.
Some were simple and some just a little more dramatic.
And a couple of necklaces kind of like the pendents from the other day but will fancier chains and closure's.
And one last bracelet. Now if you are any where near Sioux Falls on Saturday make sure to come down town to the Sidewalk Arts Festival I will be in booth 46.

Lots more work.

So there is lots more work to show you and I promised something every day just got a little late tonight because of a great water heater disaster. Spent most of the morning trying to suck up the water in the basement. Plumber said he had never seen a water heater split right down the side like that. These pendants are something new made with wire and oh did I have fun.
The next two batches of pendants are similar to some I made earlier in the summer but these are a bit different and have designs in the rings that Jeff did up for me.
Most of the pendants coordinate with the bracelets from yesterday. Not all but most.

Not been here...........

but I have been busy. I have been making lots of new jewelry for the show in Sioux Falls this coming Saturday. And so the rest of the week I am going to be showing off every day with some of the different pieces. This one I am just calling Turquoise.
And this is Harvest.
The Green Earth.
And Believe. And I tell you, you have to believe me when I say it was near impossible to get a shot of this bracelet that looked like anything at all.

Check back tomorrow for either some new pendants or some earrings.
