Handmade Monday 66

The week really flies past.  I have been trying to organise things for my holiday on Thursday and think I have most things ready - all holiday clothes washed and ironed and ready for case, passport located (finally), money changed, holiday insurance bought.  I did notice however that I was lacking in some bits and pieces of jewellery to take with me so this weekend I made a few pieces:



The top necklace is made simply from a white ribbon and a basic knot between beads and then a white focal bead in the centre, no catch, it just slips over my head.   The bottom necklace was slightly more involved, made by crocheting firstly with a ribbon yarn and then beads crocheted in after this.  It will tie with a bow at the back of the neck.

Also crocheted a little flower bracelet - really simple, 4 flowers attached on to a silver plated bracelet.


So people I will see you in 2 weeks and will catch up with the 2 handmade Mondays I will miss while away.  I'm heading over to Handmade Harbour to see what everyone has been up to this week.

See you all soon!
