Day 30 - Classy Lassy

This is my final post in the 30 day challenge.

      
          I got a little off track from having a cold to just loosing my                          motivation and desire to create. 


This elegant choker has pale blue and silver pearls and crystals. Perfect with a simple black dress.

Day 29 - You may remember day 15?

Back on Day 15 a friend sent me a 
surprise package of  beads in the mail 


I made these earrings using the jade.


   Then I said I was going to make something to match the earrings. Well I did but not all the way. I did the bead work and the pendant but I didn't have any chain to finish it off.
  
Finally!  Here's the matching Necklace.


Notice the little bird in the pendant? 
That is why I added the little copper birdie.

Day 28 - Grandma's 90th birthday.

My Sweet Beautiful Grandma is turning 90 in August. 


Grandma is truly the most beautiful person I know inside and out! Bless her heart though when she hugs you and give you a pat on the back get ready cause she will hurt you, the woman doesn't know her own strength, again inside and out. Grandma lived though the Great Depression, WWII, battled diabetes most of her adult life, she raised 5 children, and was married to my grandfather for 63 years. I've lost track of how many grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren she has, but she hasn't. 

I knew that I wanted to make her something special for her birthday. Grandma is living with my aunt in Florida and loves the Ocean. I decided to make a necklace that had pearls and the colors of the ocean.  


Happy Birthday Grandma.
Love you!

Day 27 - Now all I need is that cute green dress.

A couple years ago David said I needed a cute green dress, so anytime I find or make green jewelry I remind him  that I still need that cute green dress.
