A couple more finishes

I made another necklace last night before putting all my beading stuff up so I can move onto another project or six.

And I completed a set of gnome shoes this morning while the laundry washed. I absolutely LOVE these little shoes. They turn out just so adorable!

Finishes

I got 3 necklaces made before I ran out of "good" crimping beads. I wrapped the necklaces up and put them with the other wrapped gifts. Perhaps this weekend we will get the house decorated for Christmas; so that I will have a tree to put the gifts under. I don't go nuts with it like a lot of people do. I'd rather spend my time crafting gifts and spending time with people than putting my efforts into decor.... just not me. I do enjoy seeing other people's homes all decked out in glitter and sparkle.

I haven't made it to World Market yet but Scott said that he might like to go over after dinner. So I may make it there yet today. I did go to Jo-Ann's and got some more crimping beads so I can make some more jewelry.  My hours were cut to just 4 tomorrow so I will have more time to sew and craft on stuff then. LOTS to do and my head is swimming with ideas.  I'm making my two youngest nephews some gnome slippers like Patty wrote about on her blog here... http://morningramble.blogspot.com/2010/11/winter-gnomes-and-elf-slippers.html
Aren't they cute?! I have one about half knitted and I think they will go over really well with the boys. I'm making some in Vanna's Choice - Olive and Vanna's Choice - Mustard for an Earthy jive. I wish it was an organic yarn but it's at least a softer acrylic that I think will wear well. I'll post photos when I get them completed. And my thanks to Patty for sharing the idea.  


I feel like one of Santa's Elves - LOVING having the time to make all this stuff!

Wednesday making Jewelry

I'm off today so let the crafting beginning.

Last night I pulled out all my jewelry making "stuff" and will be working on that today. I'll be making necklaces and earrings; some as sets and some alone. I'm just in the mood for working on jewelry. I may switch to sewing this afternoon when I get back from visiting a friend and going to World Market for coffee since I got an email saying World Market Members can buy 1 get 1 FREE on the 12 oz. coffee today. We LOVE their coffee!

I will post again tonight with what I make today but won't say who they're for since some are to be Christmas gifts. HAPPY WEDNESDAY ALL!
