DDRAW Bracelet

Taught myself how to do a Double Diamond Right Angle Weave (DDRAW).  Really like how the bracelet turned out.  The photos just don't quite catch the sparkle of the copper beads or how light the turquoise beads are, but it's really pretty and light as a feather on my wrist.






Used 11/0 seed beads and 3mm glass pearls.  All by Fire Mountain Gems.

Great tutorial from a book called: Beadweaving Beyond the Basics.  By Kassie Shaw.

Zipper Box Pouch

Finally found a great tutorial for the perfect little zippered pouch.  Love the small size and how it holds its shape.  I did add a pull tag on one of the bags and will continue to do so for the others that I make.  Love the bag so much that I'm going to make some that are a little bit larger.

Find the tutorial here.

RAK Rocks

For a school project we made rocks with inspiring (hopefully) sayings.  We then placed them around our Subdivision.

Hopefully someone might find a rock and the word will help them or inspire them.

I even made a Flickr account for the rocks, in case people wanted to post a photo with their rock.

 












It is always fun to think of Random Acts of Kindness to bestow on others!

Mini Coffee Cups

Made these super cute mini coffee cups filled with treats for Teacher Appreciation Day.

I bought the 4oz cups and lids from here.
