New Book Bling and another stocking....#25 and counting!

I've been making jewellery for a couple of years and that led me to these whimsical bookmarks.  So much nicer than a piece of paper or a turned down book ear.  I can do customer work as well.  Tell me what colour of beads you like and I'll string them together.  The top is a lovely mermaid bookmark with a sand dollar charm.  The main focal bead is an etched lamp-work lentil and matching rondelle.   They are matched with Swarovski crystals and complimentary glass beads. 

The rose is love with two lamp-work beads and matched to glass pearls and Swarovski crystals.  The bookmark is silver tone and the charm is a locket for a loved ones picture.  To view out new bling click the link:

This is my latest Christmas stocking idea.  Carousel Stocking. A good one for bright colours for sure.  I see the pole in a candy cane stripes and the jewels on the carousel top hooked to appear faceted.  If I could find some plastic jewels I'd glue them in place for a bit of bling!  The horse might be gold or blue, we'll see, but I am definitely hooking this one! 

I'm off today.  Off as in not quite feeling the best.  Can't seem to rub two words together to come up with a sentence.   I've been dragging my butt all day and working with the enthusiasm of a cadaver.   Yesterday my right leg was killing me and I stayed home to rest while all the Father Christmas Festival folks walked by a dark shop and locked door.  I wasn't too upset as historically I am not busy on Sundays during a festival.  Everyone pretty much came in for the tax free sale on Saturday.  Last week the Festival Sunday was very slow, no more than a dozen people though the door so I don't think I missed much and if I did, sorry!   I only have two legs and although they wouldn't win any awards, they're all I've got so I have to take care of them.
