A little sparkle for your day

I'm not the kind of girl who can just work on one project at a time. I am sewing more of these tirelessly, but sometimes I need a little break.  I have had some vintage jewels that needed reworking. Screwback earrings that need a little update. So I worked on a few last night. After sewing of course!  I made these...

And these...

and these too....

And a few more.  I love the patina of old jewelry and you can't beat the sparkle of  vintage rhinestones.  Run over and take a look. While you do I'll be....sewing.:>)

    Kathy,
    These are totally lovely. You also do such a gorgeous job of photographing your creations for etsy.

    Happy sewing. I have been lost in fabric land today, so that I can enter a design contest on Spoonflower. Wish you lived nearby, I would be over with a long list of fabric questions, and a plate of cookies swap offering.

    Kathy,

    I am in love with these earrings!! All 3 sets. They are really my style when I dress up a bit. I will have to check out your shop.

    I also want to thank you for your comments today about sewing. Any help I can get will end the anxiety!! If I didn't have to get ready for this trip, I would start but I reelly want to devote the time and effort without other things on my mind. Does that make sense?? But I am SO excited about the things I dream of creating!! Look out world!! ;-)

    xoxo

    Hi Kathy,
    I just came by to say thanks for the very sweet comment you left. But then I saw those earrings! I just had to buy them, so I DID!! They're supposed to be for my BFF for Christmas but they're so pretty.....

    I wish I wasn't on such a tight budget. I really liked the warm pearls and gold tone ones too. You are so creative and talented!!!
    Blessings,
    Patricia :o)

    Kathy, how beautiful! I am always amazed at your talent. You just seem to have such a magical touch with everything you do.

    I was also wondering if you were going to make anymore of those darling gingham 'home' pillows. I would love to have one ...do you take special orders?

    Have a wonderful and relaxing weekend. ...Alice
