Weekend was good overall and CRAFTY!

Saturday I just worked on things for the pirogi. On sunday, after errands and a casual breakfast with the family, I started in on cleaning. My jewelry supplies were still on the floor of the family room. I had hoped to maybe make something...not sure what but something. Yeah, I made lots.

I worked on making a necklace to match a focal bead I got from Kate Drew-Wilkinson in Bisbee. Its pretty and I got the earrings to match. So I set out making it go with Jet, violet glass beads I had done, rose quartz and silver findings.

At the gem show I bought a focal bead and some other beads in similar style from Jami Hamilton. I knew kinda what I wanted to do with them and well, I did it. Its set with some jasper from Dakota Stone and some shiny crystal stuff I got at micheals.

Back when we went to visit fibergeek we visited the Beaded Frog bead shop and I picked up these raven beads. I decided that I needed to make medieval necklaces for duchess_asa and I. They are in our personal colors and they turned out really cool.

During my jewelery making Marina worked on her fighting tunic. Its a lesson in fabric choices and dealing with slippery fabric. She's learning and that is good. I wish I had had someone to walk me through the tough parts on sewing when I first started.

Mel got home from his weekend teaching exhausted but happy. His class went well and there were finished shoes by the end. All good. I also got to see the BFF yesterday and miss Cora was uber cute and plays her harmonica very well.

So, here are the pictures of all of the faboo jewelry.
