gifts for my sis

The bead store I usually go to had a free class on this bracelet if you bought the product there. Of course it was on a day I worked but a friend went and snagged an extra set of directions for me. It only took me a few hours and turned out beautifully. I used lots of crystals and a darling magnetic rose clasp. I think I'm going to try to make it with pearls.

I made the card using this sketch from this website

This was for Richie's Dad. We were in the Home Depot buying a new faucet; which by the way is beautiful, and I thought it would be cool to add some washers or something to the card. While looking around my husband found this cute little valve and really wanted me to use it on the card. He cut a piece of cheap composite board and drilled holes where I wanted them. I then glued diamond plate printed paper onto the top of it, attached the valve and hoses with wire, and made a puddle and water drop. Dad loved it. The jewelry and card were for Richie's Stepmother. These are the first earrings I have made and I was very happy with them.

This post was would have been done in January but I have been majorly slacking.
