My Stash From Nancy


This is the stash I received from Nancy of Round Rabbit for the Bead Soup Party! On top, you see her ceramic connectors, a clasp, and a beautiful focal piece with birds on a branch. I love the color!

On the bottom, you will see the other beads she sent along - I like the combination, but I'm going to have a hard time putting it altogether. Nancy is an artist first and foremost, and I am not! I hope I can do her work justice!

I spent all morning dealing with a leaking water heater, so didn't get much done. But tonight I got a bunch of photos of beads taken, so I will be listing a few in the SueBeads etsy store in a bit! My focal mania is in full force!

I have a ton of stuff in my cart and I can only sit there and look at it. I hate being broke. lol. The two sets of two lentil beads are my faves. I really, really want those!! Maybe if I get some customers... :)

Can't wait to see what else you have created to tantalize our "eye" buds. lol

Love the colours in the ceramic pieces Nancy sent you. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do. It will be good!

We just went through the leaking water heater saga. Ah, why don't they last forever? Surprising though how much longer the hot water lasts now.

I've purchased some of those triangular connectors from Nancy, but this is the first time I've seen the bird/branch focal. THAT is truly outstanding. Can't wait to see what you do with it!

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
