My sister contacted me less than 7 days before Christmas. said she knew of a young lady who had no hat/scarf/mittens, and it was cold out, could I help. Well, I will never turn down one in need. So I got out my hooks, got some yarn and  sat down to make this:

I love her smile. Sis said she had a tear in her eye when she was given the set.  I am so glad she liked it.

As a surprise for my sister, I made her a crocheted scarf as well, and a beaded crochet bracelet.

Beads...I am so frustrated over Beads!! I love working with them....till you buy boxes of 11/0 seed beads for a project and they end up like this:

i bought 18 boxes of these, all from the same company. 18 different colors and ALL of the boxes are like this.  nothing consistent at all.  cannot use for the loom projects which i bought them for.
A visit to the company website and many emails back and forth to customer service, they told me what i bought are CRAFT BEADS not jewelry beads, they are all going to be like this, and if i wanted consistency, i should buy more expensive beads. but to compensate me they will send me more vials of what I bought.  Now what sense does that make??  oh well, i guess let them send...i'll put them on Listia.

just a few photos of Jewelry I have made.
