Bracelets

Over the summer I’ve been making a few different bracelets

This one is made by crocheting the beads on to a wire, then winding on to the bangle.

The second one is made on memory wire.

Twirls & Swirls: Beaded scissor keeper

I’ve finished my scissor keeper, it was a kit by Lorna Bateman. I added the ribbon to make sure the expensive gold work scissors did not go missing or get used for other things.

I designed the back my self.

I still have the thimble keeper to make, I thought it might be good to keep the beeswax in. I have another couple of Lorna Bateman kits waiting too.

Beaded tiara ?

I had a fun time with this, it really is just a very pretty hair band. 

I also can’t wait for this hayfeaver season to be over, even though we’ve just had another storm, all it’s done is bring the pollen down & now I’m sneezing more. 

Earrings & bracelet

These Shih Tzu earrings & bracelet are for Julie ( one of my lab techs) for her birthday tomorrow. She has two Shih Tuz cross dogs called Billy & Bobby. I managed to alter the bracelet pattern to adjust to their fur colouring slightly.
The pattern is from www.threadabead.com

Angel Mascot

Just a little kit from Miyuki, given to me for Christmas. It has now found a new home on my wishing tree. At least I managed to finish something else other than marking exam scripts this week. I still have loads to do! But today is going to be exam script free!

Christmas Pudding bauble

Another piece of Christmas pudding anyone?
I enjoyed making this one the beaded net enclosing the bauble is a little tricky.
I still have another couple of bauble kits left to make but they are not especially Christmassy , as I’m leaving up my wishing tree this year ( for seasonal decorations ) I thought I might make them later. As I have received several lovely kits for Christmas & some tools with the wire & jig to play around with.
Unfortunately I did not complete all my marking before Christmas so I had really better think about doing that, before the end of the holidays catch up with me.

Emperor Bauble

This bauble has been a challenge, fairly easy to make but all the fringes get tangled. I love the finished product. Another spellbound beads bauble finished I only have another 2 to do, I under estimated the time to complete or over estimated the my spare time, I’m not sure which.
I still have a Harry Potter birthday cake to make this afternoon ( as it was Becky’s 21st in Nov while she was at uni) ice tomorrow as they are coming on Boxing Day. We cut into the fruit Christmas cake yesterday, very nice too, may I offer you all a piece ( yes Mum I will bring some slices along this afternoon)
Happy Christmas
LucyAnn & Luna.

Blog Anniversary

This weekend was my first anniversary, according to wordpress. Being inundated with marking this weekend ( I finished most of it) it was just as well I had made these earlier, for my two fellow physics teachers.

I just hope they like them.

Andromeda Tassel

This one was quick to make. I’m going to make another couple for friends as Christmas gifts.
This is another kit from spellbound beads ( I wonder if I’ll finish them before Christmas)

Starry Night Bauble

I’m still slowly working my way through the kits from spellbound beads. The instructions were easy to follow ( even for someone trying to keep up with their school marking), I did not make the bauble in one sitting but over a couple of weeks.
