A New Pendant

I made this pendant based upon the Flower Medallion design at Be-Stitched.  I decided to make the center part pink and lavender to make it seem more like a 5 petal flower, then edged it with black to give it more of a victorian or goth look. I like how it came out but I'm thinking it would look even better with a more vibrant color center.  I'll have to try it again and see.

Motif # C2-17

By adding a jump ring and putting it on a chain I turned this pretty design into a pendant which is now available in my Peachtree Cottage Etsy Shop - http://www.etsy.com/listing/83879322/flower-medalion-pendant-tatted-lace-with

The Holidays are Coming!

This time of year we have holiday after holiday after holiday.  From Halloween to Thanksgiving and Christmas, plus all the other holidays as well, there is almost always something we can celebrate.  I decided one way to celebrate would be to make some holiday earrings.  I used the Joyful Bell pattern by Yarnplayer to make these pretty white Christmas Bell earrings:

Plus I also decided to make these pretty Candy Cane Earrings as well.  They are from a pattern by Mary Maynard:

Motif # C2-16

All in all I was very happy with how both sets of earrings came out.  I'm currently working on what I hope will be a pretty beaded Christmas Tree.  It's looking good so far :-)

Another New Bookmark

This is another bookmark I made recently.  This one is shades of a pretty green with sunny yellow flowers in the middle. This was made by making the rings in yellow while adding a leafy green edging.  I really like how it turned out and might do more in additional colors.

Motif # C2-14

Maple Leaves Everywhere!

I'm not usually a red/yellow type color person.  I much prefer softer blues and pinks and other pastels most of the time, but this year for some reason I fell in love with fall colors!  I loved how the colors of the thread worked out on the little maple leaf earrings I made...so much so I decided to make a bigger maple leaf!  Once I'd done that I decided to turn it into a bookmark.  I just might have to try this again soon with some more thread in different fall colors. Only problem is these put me in a 'lazy day' mood and that just doesn't work for trying to get things done!
