Spring Bracelets ~ Citrus Candy & Pink Turquoise Flower Button

I have been moved to work on my jewelry lately, I made a couple of spring inspired bracelets
1) this one I used those pretty pink turquoise beads surrounded by clear swarovski crystal beads with a beautiful vintage glass button.  The button is clear with gold in the center and a pinkish tint coming out from the gold center.  I used a heart toggle clasp for its closure.
2) This bracelet I used these 3 lampwork beads in yellow orange and green, they are surrounded by clear swarovski crystal beads, orange glass beads and yellow peach and light green glass butterflies.  When my daughter and I looked at this bracelet we both had the same two words come to mind citrus and candy and thats how that one was named.

This last one I think I'm naming it citrus candy and the pink turquoise with the vintage button one I'm not sure yet.

Purses I'm working on & other random things

I have been working on these 2 purses lately.The butterflies at midnight purse is in the process of getting the 2nd ruffle sewn on, I will be listing this bag on both Artfire and Etsy.

The cream ultra suede bag still has quite a few things to do.  Finish tacking the lining down, add a bottom panel on the inside, decide for sure if the bows are going to stay on the sides of the bag & if so to finish the hand sewing on the bows, some top stitching, some trimming of seams and dangling threads.

Out on my deck a short while ago I saw this:

Do you see in this picture right above how deer #2 and deer #4 are looking up at me, well just a moment before all 5 of them were staring up at me.  It  was pretty funny.  Have a lovely day.

Butterfly Purse / Tote ~ Re-Creating

I have been working on a couple of purses lately.  One is a new design, new pattern its very pretty. The other is a purse I already made and I'm changing it a bit by adding ruffles, it will be pretty.  I like the ruffles on some purses,  it gives them a bouncy effect.
The following are some pics of my new purse I'm making in progress, I designed this bag with an old favorite purse in my mind

Isn't this going to be a cute bag.

Here is the butterfly purse before I started to re-design it

Its a very cute and roomy bag.  This is what I'm adding to it
