French Countryside Blog Hop

Hi Everyone!  Today I am joining Lisa at A Grateful Artist for another blog hop.  This time the theme is French Countryside.  


I did forget to take a before picture.  I ended up with a pair of earrings, a bracelet and a necklace.  
Here are the earrings, everything except the ear wires were from the kit.:



I love them, they are so pretty and feminine.  

I had some gorgeous red Czech glass beads and some silver spacers in my stash, I added them to the black seaglass that came in the kit, this is my favorite piece.  


And here is my necklace, the black beads are from the kit, everything else is from my stash.  I guess I was in a black and red mood lol.


Thanks for taking a look at what I made, please check out the other participants.  Thank you to Lisa as always for sending a great kit and hosting the hop.

Favorite Things Blog Hop

Hi Everyone!  Today I am once again joining Lisa at Pine Ridge Treasures for a blog hop.  This one is called Favorite Things.



Lisa always sends great beads to work with and this time was no exception.  Here is a (crappy - sorry) picture of what I started with:


I ended up with two pairs of earrings, a bracelet and a necklace.  These are the earrings:



The red beads were from my stash, I love them with those silver crystals - actually I just love those silver crystals.  Here is the bracelet:


The pink crystals and the bead caps were from a previous kit from Lisa. Finally the necklace:


I usually make longer necklaces, this one is 16 inches.  I really like the way it turned out though.  

Thanks for stopping by to see what I did, here is the list of participants  Please take a look at what they created with their kits.  Thank you Lisa for hosting!!
