Tucson Bead Show and To Bead True Blue

Went to both shows this week and brought back too many crystals I think! But this is the best place to find them reasonably, so of course I had to stock up when I could. Now I need to start making jewelry again to use them up.

If you want to know about anything specific let me know.

Crystals, faceted gem stones and pearls, ribbon, rhinestone spacers, fire torch enamel supplies, bezels and glass insets, and the cutest crown earring kit! I had to put it together right away. I have a hard time resisting anything with a crown or bees on them.

Shabby Chic Tweety Suite

Just a little project I finished this weekend. Flowers from iamroses, bird house on clearance from Michael's (I think I paid a dollar and I have two more to alter) and everything else from my stash. Hope it brightens your winter day and makes you look forward to spring!
