Caught The Bead Bug…Again

I haven’t made jewelry in years for fear that one of my lovies would pick up a wayward piece and choke on it.  I know, I’m paranoid.  Now that they’re older I thought I’d get my dusty tools and equipment out again. It was nice to see them all, like reacquainting with old friends. I also rediscovered all the beads I’ve accumulated through the years. That didn’t stop my daughter and I from hitting up the bead store. This was her first visit and was she fascinated; probably because the beads weren’t macaroni or great big plastic pieces. She wanted everything.

When the time came to put my earrings together, I was a bit rusty and completely forgot what used to come so naturally. From placement to tool handling, I had to relearn. Seriously, it took a while to make these earrings. Well, here’s my attempt at jewelry making after a very long hiatus. My daughter made the necklace all by herself. I was so proud of her. I think I’ve caught that bead bug again. Must. Make. Jewelry.
