new finished objects...

It's finally done.

Figuring out the necklace part was the most difficult, and I'm still not sure I'm totally happy with it, but we'll see what kind of response we get on it. I can always take it out again and redo that part without damaging the bead embroidery.

So much for doing a smaller piece that would be less expensive....NOT! I've got over $50 in raw materials in this one, so the price is still $200.



This piece came out great!

Notice the lovely suspended angle picture ... I used one of my new display pieces and it worked just fine (I was a little concerned about the big bracelet on what appears to be such a small support, but its obviously well engineered).

I have the pin that I was redoing finished too, but I haven't done the paperwork yet, so pictures of it will be coming soon.



After weeks of walking around in my socks in the evening, I decided that my feet would be warmer and the socks would last longer if there was something between the socks and the floor, so I knit these lovelies.

The internet is a great thing....this pattern was a free download, knit flat on size 7 needles with a double strand of knitting worsted weight yarn.

The odd coloring is the result of "lets use what we have on hand", and I used the dark brown until I ran out of the little ball I had, figuring that the rest of them could be the tan with the green. While I was finishing the first one, I found another piece of a skein of dark brown, so the slippers actually do match....totally unplanned, as I didn't care if they did or not.




There are now 43 arcs done....we're getting close to the half way mark on the arcs, then its on to the squares that go on each end.

Today is laundry and de-Christmasing (we're close to done) and working on last minute jewelry things.

Onward!
