more jewelry

i've been beading up a storm recently--to kill time mostly. plus, i finished the virgin suicides and needed something else to do. i'll wait to fill you all in on the virgin suicides until next week when i have my book club meeting. just know that it was a really good book--voyeuristic, dark, funny. i just enjoyed it! we'll see what everyone else says--so far everyone i've talked to has said they liked it.

so for the pictures of jewelry. i made this pair of earrings that i really like and i think i might keep them for myself--i like them that much.


then this pair of earrings i made for my coworker earlene. earlene is an older woman and she is very sweet. she took me to the train station when i went to boston and she will drive me home sometimes to just check on my neighborhood and see how things are going. mostly, she used to be a dressmaker and so is working on an old coat for me. she took me shopping to buy all the supplies (a whopping $8). then we had lunch together and she said she wanted me to make a pair of earrings for her to match a necklace she had. i think these will work.


finally, i finished nikki's necklace. it's a little choker. it's just slightly loose on me, so it should be fine for her because she's so slim!


i also made a little zipper pull for lee, but it's already in the mail, so no picture here. i just hope he likes it. it's a little valentine surprise.
