Crafty.  I have been feeling oh, so crafty and creative lately.  I just didn't know what I wanted to create.  I kinda feel like doing it all, I just don't have time, resources or the energy to do everything.  Pinterest is blame for this. Yes, Pinterest.  How many of us spend way, way too much time on that site and get the "Maksies"?  You know, as in "Oh, I want to make that!"  Or "Oh, I can do that!"  Well, that is me.  Oh what plans I have, what foods I will bake and what gardening I will get done!!  

In the meantime, I have been creating small, fast things.

Jewelry.

I love jewelry. Wearing it, looking at it, and making it.

 

It has been forever and a day since I have crafted any of my own jewelry. 

To that end I pulled out my stash of beads, gems, findings and stuff. 

See?

  Shiny, shiny.

Pretty, pretty.

I can't resist jewelry making supplies.  I am afraid that much of this stash has been sitting around for almost 4 years without being used to make glorious sparkly things.

 I was so tickled when I started.  Inspired by the colors of the peacock, I knew just what I wanted to make.

And make it I did!!  I love it.  I have worn my shiny, sparkly new jewelry almost everyday this past week.  (Yeah, I made this last weekend.  Late posting...I know.)

I created a necklace, earrings, and a bracelet. 

I think the bracelet is my favorite.  I do believe I shall make many, many more.  

Want to see what I made?

Do you? 

Ready?

Okay!!

Here it is!!

 

See my new pretties?

I am so thrilled with them.

Now, what can I start next?
