Pictures Pictures Pictures

Okay... So today I have pictures.

This first one is of the necklace & earring set I made for Sister's birthday. It was Thursday so I was a day late.... But she said she liked it anyway. It's black Lizbeth & clearance bin beads. I *told* Husband I'd use all those beads & findings! :)

This is 1 of the pair of TotusMel's Queen's Feet barefoot sandals I'm working on for Brit. She asked for yellow & yellow she got. They're way too big for my feet, so I had to lay them out on the counter. Maybe she'll let me take a picture of them on her feet for you so you can see how great they are in person!

This is my shopping haul. I got the pliers & thread cutter on a 30% discount at Hobby Lobby. Love that place! The bag came from Old Navy. I know the colors are a little loud, but it's plasticy stuff on the outside so my needles won't go through. I carry a giant purse anyway, so it should be okay. Hopefully. If not I'll have a give away or something. It was a whole $5.



Now. On to something that makes me sad. Apparently Flora is discontinuing my favorite color of all time. The blue variagated. I learned to tat with this color, & have never found anything even close to it since. But, I guess that means I get to go thread shopping! *sigh*

Enjoy your day!

Taught myself a new trick!!

 Well as promised I have a couple of pictures for you today. One is of the center piece of the barefoot sandals. I kind of like the mustard yellow, now that it's working into shape. I'm not to fond of the thread though. I can't remember what kind it is, or I'd make a mental note not to buy anymore of that kind. I only had around half a ball & the label was gone out of it so I'm not sure what it is. I know it's number 20, & I know it's not Flora, Lizbeth, Cebelia, or Altin Basak. I have those to compare it to, & it's much stiffer than that. So. All that's left is the "hhhmmmm".....  But I have it & I've started it so I"ll use it for this project & stash it in the "ew" pile...

You can see in the picture where the ends are sewn in & where it's trying to twist where the rings close.... But overall I like the shape. Maybe if it was done in a different thread it'd be better.



This is the new trick I taught myself! There's a cabone ring under there :) Now I know there are tutorials & videos & Jane Eborall has an instruction sheet on her instruction site (there's a link to her blog, & from there there's a link to the other stuff), but I haven't printed anything & when I had time to try it my computer was "on break". Sometimes it does that. Very inconvenient. It's lizbeth #20 thread, I don't know the color. It was a sample that came with some other things I ordered from Handy Hands. I use it for practice because it's kind of an odd color combination, don't you think? I just continued on around again with chains, 5-5+5-5, so on & so on.... I put a jump ring on & I'm not sure what I'll do with it. But something...

And there you have it... All the pictures I have for now. Maybe tomorrow I'll have some pictures of MPD. I finished the third round, & I'm started on the first medallion of the 4th. I have to wait for it to dry first though.... I had to block it, as the rings - only round kind of cupped on me.

That's it for today :)

Enjoy your day
