Beads and Bookmarks
August 19, 2007
It’s my least favorite time. Late on Sunday when I should be getting ready for bed and a full week of work. I had a productive weekend. I spent a lot of time on one of my new projects, beaded bookmarks. My mom gave me a bag of leather scraps, not knowing what I’d do with it, but when I saw the bag, I got inspired. And so started my beaded bookmark project. The bookmark itself (hidden inside the book) is genuine leather. And the tassle is silk with a variety of glass beads. I’ve really enjoyed putting them together, fingering through my collection trying to find the perfect combination.
Mom things I should get a booth at a local holiday bazaar and sell them. We’ll see how many I can put together. I may take a few to work and see what the ladies think.
I also made some earrings this weekend and am very please with how they turned out. I made some for my swap partner Ellia and she really seemed to like them. I may make some for my booth.

About Me
Welcome to my spot on the web where I talk about needlework, crafts, and [many] other random things.
A few tidbits about me: I met my husband in college, flirting over tuba letters in the Penn Band. Our dog, CJ, and our cat, Sabrina, round out our family. I'm a sewist, knitter and needlepointer, and an occasional scrapbooker. I love organizing, reading, making jewelry, and hiking. A Chicago girl at heart, I am an avid follower the Cubs, Bears, and Blackhawks.
