Crochet Necklace

 This is the last new necklace for this week as we are headed out for The Tucson Bead Show tomorrow.  It is the first necklace in another new series, this one is called Necklace #1 in the Suessology series.  I just think it is not going to tell me a name other than Necklace #1.  Sometimes that is just the way it works.

These new disc beads make great buttons and I just love the texture.  Anyone that is going to be in Tucson next week please come by the Windmill Inn and say hello.

September Give-A-Way

 I am working on a new Series of beads and Jewelry inspired by Dr. Seuss, and decided that these disc/flower beads/buttons would be great for my September bead Give-A-Way.  Make sure to read this post all the way through and enter as many ways as you can.

 The beads are different front and back so you have choices on how you use them.

They also have decoration on the edges so that if they are sandwiched between two other beads they are nice and showy.  What do you think, are they Seussy?  I know, I know not a word but I like the thought. :-)

New Daisy flowers and Necklace

I have been working on some new little flower beads.  These little daisy's are smaller than my other flowers.  They are only about 3/4 of an inch across and I try to make them even smaller than that.  I just love their tiny, dainty look.

 I of course had to make them in some nice bright colors and will be putting some on Etsy as soon as I finish up with this post.                                                                                                                           

I just love the look of these so much I had to really quick make up a new necklace to show them off.  I am in love with how this piece fits just right at the base of my neck and would keep it for myself if I ever really wore jewelry, but instead I will probably be showing it at my next show.

The close up shows just how much the piece looks like a garden with blooms bursting out all over.

Sunflower Buttons

Last week a customer from Minneapolis, Susan Felix contacted me about getting a sunflower button so she could make another bracelet to donate as a fund raiser for Minnesota Limes Association. She made this bracelet with one of my beads she got at the Hopkins Bead show.

She says,
"My sister and I learned how to macramé from Stephanie Sersich at the Milwaukee Bead and Button Show."

I of course couldn't make just one button for her to choose from.  So now that she has decided which ones she wants I am going to get some pictures ready to list a couple of them on Etsy.  Keep an eye on the shop for the next couple of days I am not sure when I will get them listed.

Lots of new Buttons

Lots and lots of new buttons have been carded and are ready to head south to Atlanta.  We are leaving here just as the weather is finally beginning to warm up.  It was snowing Sunday and today it is supposed to be in the low 60's.

We will be at the Stitches South Show in a little over a week.  If you are in the Atlanta area please come out and visit us.
