And yet more lamb pictures from last spring

Spring Lambs

Last week one of our ewes had a ram lamb! Since her name is Beatrix, (as in Potter) his name is Peter (as in Rabbit). The Lord God is so kind to give us such blessings!

New Lace Jewelry Designs!

The Burgundy necklace is one that I have had finished for a little while, but never got around to posting. It has lots of Swarovski crystals dangling from the lace, and shiny beads at the sides and back. The thread is actually embroidery floss, so the thread in this necklace is very soft.



The Green necklace was a gift for a friend. It was made with freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystals.
Here are the matching earrings.

Another view of the necklace. My camera was acting up a bit, so the pictures aren't the best quality. Perhaps another time it will work better, Lord willing.

This is a necklace that I made. It is currently for sale in my Etsy store. It is made with vintage bright yellow thread and new sheer ribbon. (The thread is almost neon yellow!) I had just enough thread on the shuttles for this project! It is very bright and cheerful. The picture is too dark. I tweaked it before putting it on Etsy. You can see the updated pictures here. I enjoyed making this necklace.

Hair barrettes!

Ecru lace barrette with earthtone glass beads - what a statement!
I really like the green one with the pearl beads on it.

These are perfect for a small updo or just getting your bangs out of your face (if they are long enough).
These are in the shop now!

Different Projects This Summer

Some of the projects I've been working on this summer. Several were gifts, and some are in the shop now!

It has been a long time. . . .

And I am sorry. A lot has been going on in my life recently. One brother is away for the summer, and it is hard to get used to him not being in the other room. Enough about that. Here are two necklaces that I just listed:


And here is a picture of a wedding/special occasion crown that I hope to list this week. It is made of silver metallic embroidery thread and has been embellished with AB Swarovski crystals. The circumference is about 12 inches, and the whole crown is fairly stiff.
