Jewelry: to make or not to make...

 I'm still debating. I like these, but they're a little large for me. I see others creating earrings, and I would love to add them to what I do, but I don't know if I have the patience for it... not like I have the patience for other things... but still. Plus, the work is a little small for my arthritic fingers...
They're made around rings - I can do free form rings, but I like the stiffer version - not the floppy things I've seen others wear. The girls in the group I'm in makes some beautiful earrings. Maybe I'll just purchase from them.

This pair is a little smaller. This was the first pair I made. I'm thinking I'll wear these this week, see the reaction I get.

Anywho - I'm still working on my blanket. LOTS of squares! I didn't like how the larger squares were turning out, so I changed them to a different granny. I can't wait to put them all together! Of course as soon as I do I'll post a picture.

How do you feel about the earrings?

I love buttons!

I have been finding the most adorable buttons! I'm so excited! This little buzzy little bee is perfect for the dress and diaper cover I made. I need to get more...
Picking the right accessory for the outfits is almost as important as the outfit itself. I know when I shop, I look at the snaps or buttons or other decorations... if they're not good, they throw the entire piece of clothing off. I also have to take into account WHO the item is for. Don't want anything that could harm a little one, or something that the owner is going to struggle with. The item will stay in the back of the closet if that happens... I don't want that.
Anyway...

I have mailed out several packages - scarves that were supposed to be mailed a while ago, 3 dresses, and a baby afghan. I hope your items get to you safely. Let me know if they don't.

Oh, what's that you say?
You didn't order anything?
Well....

What are you waiting for??? ;-)
