Year of Jewelry Week 23 & 24

During the summer months I usually suck at posting..... anything.

Not apologizing, just FYI.

It's a time thing.

Full time job, gardening duties, yard work~

just a time thing☺

Oh yea...

And trying to make at least one piece of jewelry per week☺

Which is usually accomplished while curled up in my chair

in the evening in front of the TV.

I don't know why the cord in the lower right picture looks green? It's not;-(

The necklace was made to match the bracelet and earrings

I gave to my sister.

She mentioned several months ago that she needed

a necklace to go with them.

(Of course, I didn't want to rush into anything,

so 5 months later I started working on it☺)

That gorgeous bead in the bracelet is a one of a kind

lampwork focal by Juli Cannon of Studio Juls

so I needed to get a little creative with the necklace☺

I made a focal with a similar color pattern using polymer clay,

then to balance out the necklace, I used one of the buttons from huge

stash of sewing "stuff" I inherited when our Grandma passed

years ago, and used it as the closure in front.

I was totally on track to have it made and mailed out in time for her birthday,

then I hit a bit of a bump in the road of life last week

and timing got thrown off a little.

It is on it's way now and hopefully she likes it☺

Ok, now if you want to keep up on the garden updates, home life and such,

I am trying to post regularly to facebook here,

mainly to help me keep a "record of when I planted, what, and where

so I have that info for the following years,

and, of course, pictures of moose babies♥

Just send a friend request ~ I'm easy☺
