I was so excited to see this  on Pinterest, a craft that combines knitting and beading!

I have been beading a lot lately, so I pulled out some beads and made a few sets of my own.

It was a very quick and easy craft. And pretty too!

Jewelry and clay dishes

More crafts! I have been making a lot of jewelry and little clay dishes for Christmas presents. Here's one dish I made with air dry clay and my Paris-themed stamps:

I gave it to my friend for a birthday present, with this earring and necklace set:

I'm SUPER happy with how it turned out! I'm addicted to making jewelry now. Everyone is getting earrings for Christmas! And clay dishes too, if I can find the time...

More Beading

I really love making jewelry, I should do it more often. Especially since I have a TON of beads laying around the house. Here's a few more necklaces I made: 

Bird's Nest Necklaces

I have had this page bookmarked for awhile now. These necklaces are so simple and lovely! So I pulled out my bead kit the other day and tried making a few:

I think they turned out pretty well! I'll try wrapping more wire around next time. I had a tough time deciding on which beads to use, the possibilities are endless. And I also stabbed my fingertip with wire. See, I'm getting a jump on Christmas presents!
