Favorite Earrings that I made:

Fern Earrings by BayMoonDesign

These fern earrings are made from natural brass sheets that have been embossed with a fern pattern. love the look of the greens in these green leaf earrings. The green earrings are hand painted with patinas to created this fern jewelry. The metal has a protective coating to keep the color vivid for years to come! I have hung them on brass ear wires and added green beads at the top. Natural brass ear wires add to the earthy look. This leaf jewelry is nature inspired and are perfect casual green earrings. These green leaf earrings are a perfect gift for the outdoors lover.

Favorite DIY Kit:

Beaded Gourd Kit

This sparkling beaded craft project called Peaks and Valleys, was developed by Lynn aka Midnightcoler and taught at the NC Basketmakers Convention in March of 2016.   You'll learn to bead coil a zig zag rim to crown this vibrant gourd bowl, then add sparkling accents to complete it. It starts with an organically grown prepared gourd from Lynn's garden.   Kit includes a prepared organically grown gourd (approx 3 1/2 - 4 1/2" or so, sizes vary a bit,) coordinating bead mix, thread, beading needle, bead stops, gems, complete instructions. An enjoyable, relaxing project.

Project takes approximately from 5 to 7 hours, with most completing it in around 6 hours. This project is easy, and is for all levels, from beginner to experienced beaders. It's suitable for adults or for some older children who can handle a beading needle and scissors. 


Favorite handmade fall wreath:

Fall wreath by laurelsbylaurie

I love this artificial eucalyptus wreath in lovely orange and yellow.  The artificial eucalyptus used is soft, light & airy, and not heavy at all. The wreath is made on a 24" x 24" grapevine twig base so the finished piece measures about 24" x 24". Wired on the center front of the wreath is a "fall" word sign. There is a wire attached on the back of the wreath for hanging.
