Handmade Beaded Jewelry by kathisewnsew

Years ago I wanted to fix one of my moms necklaces, it was missing a few turquoise beads.  I went on the hunt for some, now there were no bead supply place around where I live.  I found a very nice place to buy beads and supplies.  It started small I bought a few beads made a few pieces, and I was hooked. Over the next year I bought pretty beads and made lovely jewelry.  I gave away many pieces as gifts, sold a few. And this is most of what I have.  The pieces I have listed on artfire right now are not in this.  So as we see I have a lot of beaded jewelry.

I told you so.  Gotta go for now.

 

Earrings, Earrings, Earrings ...

... I love earrings ... but ... I can't wear them.  I'm allergic. My ears swell up whenever I try.  So, I do the next best thing I make them.
This first pair would be mine if I could wear them.

They are made with clear swarovski crystal beads and silver toned beads.  They could go with anything from jeans & a t shirt to a nice dress. None of these earrings in this post have been listed yet, hopefully soon.

 

 

 

 

 

I found a new way to take these pictures, and they seem to have come out much better. I need to come up with names for these earrings. What a nice day this has turned out to be.

Organization ...

Sewing stuff, beading things, reading material, fabric (oh yea, that goes with sewing stuff), Sequin (my maniquin), all of these need to be in the upstairs area of the house.  the kitchen, dining room, and the living room ARE the upstairs area of the house.  And I am not an organized person. I have 31 days to get my upstairs organized & decorated for the holidays.  I will do it, but there will be meltdowns.

 

I listed a couple pair of Halloween Pumpkin Earrings on ebay yesterday.  I don't understand why they don't get the amount of looks as my Candy Corn Earrings.  I am offering free Halloween camo ghost jewelry bags with any jewelry purchase this month on either ebay or artfire.  

 

 

 

They look almost edible.

 

Its time to get to work.

 

Make it interesting ....

... Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.  Lets start off with I'M NOT A WRITER.  I would love to be able to write something interesting.  Sometimes I just feel sooooooooooooo boring.  I Love to sew, and thats what I'm good at.  I get so excited when I get an idea, I just can't stop thinking about it untill I put it together.  Thats how it was when I got the idea to make the Halloween jewelry bags.

 

I just listed these on ebay yesterday.  These jewelry bags were my latest idea I had.  To give my customers a small thank you from me.  I so love doing this.  I get so carried away sometimes, I forget to do other things I need to do.  

Last night~~

 

 

 

What a way start the evening.
