A Pretty Little Necklace

 I mentioned I'd made a necklace a day or two ago. Here it is.


The Facebook video tutorial is here: Elegance-192



I used gold size 11 seed beads and 4mm Bicone clear AB crystals to make it. Also some gold chain. It's the first time I've used chain in my jewelry.

The pattern has you use a crystal teardrop for the focal bead, but I didn't have any, so I used this glass bead instead. Someone gave it to me about 15 years ago.


It was surprisingly easy and quick to make. I've ordered teardrops do I can make more.


I have more progress on the mittens. Getting excited about having them done.


We had a beautiful day today. Got up to 45F with sunshine, blue skies, and the occasional fluffy white clouds drifting over. I was going to go sit out in the sun for awhile, but I had too much to do today. Maybe next time.

Zoey is still limping so I've made an appointment at the vets at 8:20 a.m. tomorrow. I'll let y'all know the results.

Live long and prosper. \\//
