Beaded ball set

I made this set with turquoise beads and silver findings... Just love the contrast between the blue and the silver!

I follow the same pattern I published before, but decided to go with round beads... which worked great!

Jewelry is becoming a great stress reliever... and I love it!

I did put this ones up for sale on my etsy store... they are called Turquoise Clusters, so check them out!

Beaded ball earrings

I finally found how to make these beaded balls!!! Love them! These ones are 4 crystals on each side... They are more like a square, but still super cute. I found a few tutorials on how to make these, but one of easiest to follow -at least for me! was: http://www.beadjewelrymaking.com/Kid_Art_Project/Kid_art_bead_project/april2005_bead_project.html,

hope you enjoy making them as much as I do!

Halloween blanket in August...

Maybe a little early some people will say, but if I put the fabric away most likely I will forget about it. It didn't take too long, and it came out good for being the first time I made one. Hopefully now I won't forget that I put it away and I'll give it to my son when October comes.

I've been sewing lately, and my scrapbooking is on hold... I have to get some pictures printed before!

My crafty craziness...

I think I need to change the name of my blog for crazy crafter's blog... I just love to craft, even though the time I have to spend doing any craft is pretty limited... it doesn't matter I'll find the time. I've been away from the scrapbooking, and decided to go back to childhood -when I was growing up, I used to help my mom while she was making cloth dolls she sold back then; so I asked my mother to give me the patterns of those dolls I use to help her with -I thought she wouldn't have them, but ohhh! mistake, she did! And I was glad. She helped me make the first one, and we have already cut another few. Now I just have to sew them together. Which I am hoping to do next week. Here are some pics of the first one, and I have created an Etsy store, in which I'll be selling them http://www.chelseasroom.etsy.com/.

I will try to post pics of the next ones I make soon.

Paper Jewelry

Hello! I had to post these earrings I just made.I used green and white paper strips, and the same technique I used for the card pictured on my last post, then I sprayed a coat of acrylic to protect them, and monted them on cute silver flowers!

I will be selling them on my Etsy store... which I just started too - mypaperquilled.etsy.com, along with more cards, jewelry, and whatever else I can make from paper.

It's taking for ever to post anything -my computer wasn't working too good. But it has been restored to factory settings, so hopefully it won't stop working as much now.

Scrapbooking!

I started scrapbooking like a lot of us... when motherhood hit me! At the beginning I thought I would make one scrapbook and that would be the end of it... It has been a little over two years since the scrapbooking bug bit me, and I still love it. I don't have a lot of time to do it, so I haven't done a lot.
Looking for new techniques, I came across quilling, and I've been enjoying it a lot. So far I've made a couple of spring cards, place cards for Easter, and earrings -yes earrings... I will publish the picture later on. Now, a little impatient boy needs attention!
