Let's Keep Wrappin the Ruby

Things seem to be wrappin smoothly so I found another ruby to dress up a little. This natural ruby is 20.5 cts and is accented with tiny white fresh water pearls.

Results from a wrappin fun day yesterday...

This is a natural red ruby at 16.5 cts wire wrapped into a pendant with Swarovski crystals and bead accents.







This pendant will receive a final polish before it makes it to my ETSY shop.

It's been a wrappin fun day

with a ruby, a genuine natural red ruby. This pretty gem is a little over 16.5 cts. I've been looking at my box of gems and have been wanting to get started on a few of them so today it was red ruby day. Haven't had time to take any pics so I hope you will mosey on back for a peak at what I have put together.

Have a truly wonderful day:)

Besides the jewelry...

I found some lime green yarn recently and have been practicing tatted border designs. Green is one of my favorite colors. Then I needed something to add it to so I decided yesterday to embroider this lemon design on a kitchen towel blank in my stash. I went back to the store for the beautiful deep purple yarn too. Maybe a raspberry design next.

Bead Crocheted Necklace

The Green and Gold Delight necklace was posted on ETSY today.

And here it is: Gold and Green Delight - bead crocheted necklace

The bead crocheted necklace was calling me early this morning. All I had to do was finish up the fringes. The necklace is full of fresh water pearls and glass crystals in different sizes and shapes. My model up early too, was gracious enough to show it off for you. This should be going out on ETSY soon.

It's HOT!!!

It has been really hot so far this summer in Northern Virginia and with humidity mixed in it's not much fun to be outside.

I stayed indoors yesterday afternoon and finished the crocheted part of my next creation. Today I'll pick out the remaining pieces of this necklace and hopefully work on getting this project completed.

What's Up

Hope you had a nice 4th of July weekend. It was a busy and fun time for me. I was shopping all day Saturday with my in-laws at the Hagerstown Outlet and on the 4th they came over for smoked pulled pork barbecue sandwiches with coleslaw. Herndon VA did a great job on the fireworks and what made that so nice too was that we really don't have to leave the neighborhood to see them.

I had to re-string the to be crocheted pearl necklace because of a missing crystal!! Have to me more careful in the double checking process. I decided to change one of the crystal shapes and colors so it will look different from the previous picture. I'm all ready to start again and hope to have a picture to upload soon of some crocheted rope.

Talk to you again soon!

Todays progress with bead crochet

Today is such a gorgeous day and with low humidity, who could ask for much more? A great day to be beading!! I started on the crocheted necklace and got a few inches done but decided that I was not happy with the beginning inch so I started over. Here's what's happening:



Hope you're enjoying your day too.
