I'm finally getting the hang of it!!!

So you ask "What are you talking about??"

I'm talking about wire wrapping my beautiful antique buttons!

But first, look at how wonderful our sedum succulents are doing in the birdbath!!!

They love this Georgia heat and get afternoon storms every now and then.

I love that they grow over the sides and drape down!

In other news...I'm almost to my real, really real, salt and pepper hair color!!!

I have it cut super short for this hot, humid summer but thought I'd share with you.

I miss my dark hair but oh well, I was so sick and tired of coloring it.

This is what I think I'm finally getting the hang of!!!

Wire wrapping and jewelry making. Practice makes perfect they say
and it is SO very true.
I'm not perfect yet but have finished a few pretty pieces and am pleased.

I wanted to share them with you
and a few other pretty things that I've listed in my Etsy store!

Also, shipping is all free in the US!

These are sweet lavender sachets! Perfect for favors at a baby or wedding shower!!!

A beautiful plate for hanging that I've had for years!

And this is a gathering of vintage Christmas stockings!!!

All have been listed in my Etsy shop!!!

I'm trying so hard to be more creative now that we've settled into our new home.

Once I step into our wonderful studio...
the atmosphere inspires me so much!!!

Thank you always for stopping by to see what I'm up to!

Hugs and love,

A change of heart ~

I had originally thought that I would use my new seam binding fringe

on a stocking I started a few weeks ago BUT

it just wasn't working for me.

The more I stared at it, the longer I let it sit in my studio!

Plus, I didn't care for the slanted opening I had made

for my stocking pattern either. That didn't help a bit!

But after mulling it over for waaaay too long, I chopped the top off

the stocking and began playing with lace and trims.

And the strangest thing?

I pulled out a pretty little satin doll dress that the top was torn and

chopped the skirt off to use on the stocking too!

I finally finished it last night and am so pleased with the way

it finally turned out....

and what about the fringe I made?

It's going on a new project of course!

Here's my stocking ~ it's approx. 20" long.

Now listed in my Etsy store too!

Now that I've finished that project,
it's time to get crackin' on some new goodies!!

I hope you're having such a wonderful week precious friends ~

Happy Thursday!

hugs and love,

Dawn
