Bead Table Wednesday


Holy Wednesday, Batman, I forgot to photograph my beads before I put them together today. So here's my Bead Table Wednesday all finished up. My friend Jill has a birthday today, and her husband asked me to make something for him to give to her - isn't he so sweet? I have known Jill for years and know pretty much what she likes - I think she is gonna LOVE this bracelet! I know I do, and I am going to have to make one for myself if I can ever find some of the silver beads again, and can afford them at this point!!!!

I have a lot of sterling silver large beads. I also have some beads that you can enamel. I tried to do it but was not successful. When I get home I will Take a picture and send to you. Maybe we can do a trade?
She is going to be one happy friend! Pam

What a beautiful bracelet for your friend's birthday. You're right, sterling beads like that would cost a fortune nowadays!

Jill is a lucky friend. The bracelet is great! (But there is nothing great about sterling reaching$39.53 today. Yikes.) Sounds like you should check out Pam's beads ASAP!

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday 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
