Bracelets and more

At last, here are those bracelets I wanted to try. They are Multi-Strand Fiber Bracelets from the Artful Crafter. I did not have the right bell caps and really did not feel comfortable gluing them in anyway, so I modified the ends using wire. But I am pleased with the results. I used some of my new tatting thread and beads I had along with toggle clasps so the bell caps were the only purchase. Gotta love those crafts! I am looking forward to wearing them!




The delay in getting them made was due to some oral surgeries I had done in the past two weeks. The fact that I finally feel like I want to craft is a real sign of recovery! My daughter has been staying with me and crafting while we watch movies so I wanted to share her goodies as well. If all these photos have slowed your download time I apologize but hope you will find it worthwhile. First the jewelry:

And then she covered notebooks and clipboards and pens in coordinating scrap booking papers. She intends to make matching covered sticky note pads but I just couldn't wait:

I did not get a photo of the zebra notebook before it went out the door clutched in my granddaughter's arms and this last notebook may not show it too well but the paper is actually textured and feels like alligator. Way cool! If you click on the photo you can see that in the close up. There are more to come but she had to stop as they have family in from out of town and she is going out to dinner with them. Guess I will get back to my tatting and a movie (I am still on soft foods so dinner and a movie really doesn't apply yet).
