Angel Earrings

I hope everyone has a blessed Easter Sunday.  We all have so much to be thankful for. While in town this morning I saw a small band of actors dressed in Bible times clothing,  The one playing Jesus had a white robe and carried a cross.  He fell and someone lashed out at him with a rope.  It was very impressive to see that on a busy street.
I am posting these cut angel earrings I made.  You can see more pictures on my etsy site or facebook page, CraftedWithStyle.  Thanks for stopping by.  I would love to read a comment.

Tic Tac Toe Game

This is the old fashion game  we use to draw on a peice of paper and play with a pencil, marking the squares with O's and X's.  I made this one to go on my coffee table.  It makes for a quick fun game to play right before supper time, by children and adults as well.  For special customers, I paint a folk like painting of thier house from a photo on the lower right hand side.

Gold Fish Block

This is a quilt block piece I put together with scraps of fabric saved from other projects.  Just a tiny piece of orange I saved and so glad I did.  I hate to throw away any bit of scrapes I have left over. They always come in handy someday.  I made the eyes out of black sequins and the air bubbles out of tiny pearl beads, which you can see better in the close up photo below.

Lady Bug


I got this cute pattern for a pin cushion, from Craft nThings magazine.  You can go to their website craftnthings.com and get the free pattern.  Just click on the February 2011 magazine, then free pattern , Lovely Ladybug.  I modified the pattern to suit my taste, and ease of construction such as using felt instead of fabric. I left one piece of the pattern out, because I could not figure out where it went, LOL

Goblet Glass or Cup Charms Tutorial


These little charms are great to put on any glass with a stem to help your guest  identify their glass. Can even be used on coffee mugs. It only takes a few minutes to make and they make much appreciated hostess gifts.

All thats needed, are a small pair of plyers with a cutting edge and round on the end, as shown in photo above, 4 inch piece of memory wire,  8-7mm beads and a charms of your choice.  I chose a small leaf for mine,

Step 1.  Cut a four inch piece of memory wire.  Using your plyers, make a small round turn on one end of the wire.  This keeps your beads from fall off.





Step 2.  Place 4 beads on the wire, then place your charm.  This will be the center of the ring as shown below.
Step 4.  Place remaining 4 beads on the wire.  Next, take your plyers as before, and make a small turn on the wire to hold your beads in place.
Step 5.  With your fingers manipulate the wire into a round circle and, wala... you now have a charm that eaisly slips onto the glass stem.
