Turquiose Necklaces

Every so often I like to dabble in other crafts - such as jewelry making.  I'm in no way and expert,  however I always like to walk into Michaels and walk down the bead ailse and keep saying I can do something with this or that.  So during the summer I saw these great turquoise and coral beads and along with several of my items I picked up on my vacation to Arizona (several years ago) I had to do something with these stones I couldn't just get them and have them collect dust.  How many of us have done that?

So here are my two necklaces - I made one for my aunt and the other for my mother and I to share. 

So I hope you enjoyed - and don't be afarid to TRY something new once in a while - you may be suprised!

Thanks for stopping in to see what I've been up too.

PILLOWS

I love this time of year!  Stores have changed their displays to incorporate fall, halloween and soon Christmas. Summer is officially over (yeah!)  Fall is my best time of the year - the colors, textures and Pier 1 store.  I was running some errands and happen to walk in and was "oohing and ahhhing" at all the great pillows.   

I just love the way they've embellished all of them with sew-on gems, seed beads and of course BUTTONS!   So I snapped some photos to show you - why not take your pillow and refresh???

So this was my exciting afternoon  and wanted to share with you all the great ideas that you can do too.

Thanks for stopping by to see what I've been up to...Happy Fall
