my sister-in-law and i share july birthdays and so tonight we went to dinner and celebrated getting older wiser.  and i was really pleased with the necklace i created for her.  she was too.

I saw these necklaces at urban outfitters and throughout blog-land and then ran across this great tutorial.  And although the jury was out for a while, I’m in and I think my friend will be able to pull it off fabulously.  I like it as an alternative to a scarf.  I think I’ve got a green t-shirt that wants to be a necklace too.

I made this back in January for my sis.  I just finally last week managed to walk across the street to the post office to put it in the mail! I picked up the beads in Beijing.  It was hard to decide with so many options.  But I just got confirmation that she really liked her new accessory.  (And so do I!)

Blue & Smokey Quartz Necklace

tomorrow is my friend Amy’s birthday. I’ve been jonesing to make some jewelry again and this was the perfect opportunity. I’ve had these beads for a while but I hadn’t thought about using them together until now. I’m totally into long necklaces right now, and this one hits just below the bust line. And I really like the wooden beads with iridescent green ones. The southerner in me couldn’t resist making the matching earrings. (I am definitely my mother’s daughter.) I can see her wearing this with a bold floral or subdued solid. I hope she likes it!

*****Well she loved it…and then I found this little number that I thought would go perfectly!

I found these little guys at my local bead store today. There is a 50% sale right now, so I managed to escape under $20! I’ve been in a creative funk lately, so I hope these will provide a little glimmer of inspiration.

I really like these rings & most of the other jewelry found on Etsy here:

I really, really want some Joel Dewberry fabric, particularly from his Avery Collection. I especially like the woodgrain print. It reminds me of a jewelry set I made my friend Meg. But alas, want is not need and since I crafted so much over the holiday I’ve taken a bit of a break. But I’m already making a list of spring projects.
