New necklace on a headache day

Today I stayed home with a headache. Guess the sauna really wasn't my thing.

Whenever I have a headache I can't stand to watch tv or listen to the radio. And since it was a really hot day today (86 degrees) staying in bed wasn't a very good idea either. So I started on a necklace. The repetetive stitching sometimes helps to get my mind of the headache... It helped a little today, but at least I finally finished a necklace again. This one is for a swapbot swap. I really like how it turned out!

I used firepolished and smooth glass beads and sea beeds. I would love to get feedback from you!

TravelPillows & a Necklace for Mom

Another post from me... Guess the feeling just lingered on a little bit more. I've finished the travelpillows I wanted to make:

The one with orange-red-brown large cirkels is for Dull, the other one, which is pink-beige-brown striped is mine.

The inner pillow is made of a large pillowcase, I just sewed it through the middle twice and cut between the 2 sewing lines, turned it rightside out and stuffed it with filling (and mine's with a little bit of lavender, which makes me sleep better). Then I sewed the little baggie-thingy, sewed them together and now they are happily waiting to go on holiday with us....

I also finally made the necklace for mom, I promised to make her a couple of months(!) ago. It's actually a redo of a necklace I gave her 2 years ago which broke when the dog was happy to see her. That necklace was a single strand necklace, this one has a splitted two strand shape.It's all the way crystal-clear coloured, which makes it a bit hard to photograph. I used Preciosa & Swarovski crystals, some sterling chain for the drops and little glass seed beads between the larger beads.

I am quite happy with the result and hope mom will be as well....

Well I am off to celebrate Queensday! The weather is absolutely delightfull!

Results from "a feeling"

Last week I blogged about my feeling.... And it stayed all weekend! I finally 'created' a necklace again and it's one that makes my heart beats faster. It has been ages since I made something with beads and I have felt miserable about it. Perhaps my creativityblock has finally passed on? Well, with no further a do (or how do you say that..?) prrrrrrrrr. (This is supposed to be a drumroll):

And one more in the lavender bush....Isn't it a beauty? I know it sounds a bit cocky, but I am really proud about it..... I've made it with Swarovski & Preciosa crystals and czech seed beads. I started it fridaynight and finished it yesterday, an estimated 6 hours work. The closure is not finished yet, I just wipped up a simple hook and two loops, so I could wear it to work today.... Let me know what you guys think!
