I'm back

Hi,

I've been gone from here for two months!

though I was back from the Europe trip in the end of June,

I've just not had the time to post anything.

Life has been a whirlwind since the time I've been back!

1st here are a few snapshots of our

lovely lovely trip......

Now that I'm back, I haven't been upto much.....

But I did make some things......

Tatted bracelet in Black with blue beads

It's a bracelet made with a single shuttle

and a pretty easy pattern I came up with.

I've written down the pattern

and

would try to make it available here some time soon.

A simple tatted set

with transparent beads

Small flowers

and

a

Josephine chain string.

I'd made several of these

 to send to my Ravelry swap group.

Pretty fast and simple to work.

 

I bought these scissors from a store in

Colmar (France)

Lovely, isn't it?

Alongside,

a tatted and a crochet flower in silk.

The thread tats up beautifully,

though a little slippery.

not fun to crochet with it at all!

A small tapestry crochet pouch for my

MP3 player

with a beaded toggle.

Talking of beads,

That's what I've been doing a lot these days,

in whatever time I get, that is!

Beaded flowers set

with small flower earrings.

Trying to bead a bead....

Russian leaves earrings...

Tried to make a bangle......

Bead crochet rope

with bead baubles at the ends,

but it's a little short to go around the wrist,

So,

Added a peyote loop and

 made a charm for my purse handle!

Peyote strip....

and a toggle....

Bracelet!

Cold Porcelaine beads bracelet.

And finally....

Bead Crochet rope lariat

with

a beaded Calla lily at one end

and bead corals at the other...

I love this one!

I've made a bracelet to go with it

can't find the pic right now.....

Learning to do the

Cellini spiral.....

That's what I'm carrying around

in my purse these days......

That's it for now.....

See you soon later.
