More Necklaces for Paris

These two were the ones I had to make from scratch.The one on the left is a herring bone lariat. With two spinner beaded beads.
The other one is in a simple lace stitch with a black cord running through it it give it support.

Beading Herringbone Watch Straps

Here are two watch straps I made recently. The black one was for a watch I was given by my daughter many moons ago. I was very upset when the strap of the watch broke on thinking and looking at the watch face I felt maybe I could make a strap for it..
The blue strap I made for a watch face I bought with the intention of doing something original-
I made both of them in herringbone stitch..
I am very pleased with them.

Looking for the beading MOJO

Another week starts and I am looking for inspiration.. Want to start a new project but I just cant make up my mind what to do.. Do I want to make a Herringbone bracelet ? or an easy seed bead necklace? or what about something in wire work?? I have no idea. I am going to make the beds and tidy up my work space then think again..

I thought maybe you would like to look at this lovely cactus rose..
isn't it beautiful..

Holidays over back to my beading.

Well here I am back again after a hectic month away on my travels. The holiday was smashing and seeing my friends and relatives was at times quite emotional.

This picture is the first of a set of three bracelets I attempted to do while sitting in the evening with my cousin. I am sure you will understand when I tell you the concentration was just not there we had so much to talk about.

I love the herringbone stitch and I really thought I could do it without thinking too much..WRONG I made so many mistakes that I have just brought them all home with me to finish off and i will post them off when they are ready.
