A Lick and a Promise

"A lick and a promise" is a phrase that my mom used to use to describe making our house presentable now and doing a full housecleaning later.  I'm afraid that my post today is going to be a little bit like that--short and hopefully presentable!--since I've caught my grandson's cold/bronchitis.  I'm not feeling so great, and on top of that, the cough/cold medicine has zombie-fied me to the point where all I really want to do is stare into space 😵 or curl up with a blankie and pillow. ðŸ’—


But I still wanted to share these new earrings with you since they just feel so much like
summer to me, with all the flowers and aqua and lavender!  The lovely blue-and-purple
striated-and-dotted lampie beads are by Terry Turner of Silverfish Designs, and
Raida Disbrow of Havana Beads made the exquisite enameled charms.  I added Czech
rondelles and discs, in purple and aqua; leafy copper bead caps; tiny aqua Swarovski
bicones; and even smaller seed beads, also in aqua.  Thank you, Raida and Terry, for
making these gorgeous beads and components that allow me to make beauty in turn.  ðŸ’—



Thank you all for being understanding.  I promise to be back next time
(May 24, I do believe) with an entire "housecleaning."  😊💗

Boho--Whoa!

My son Jesse is flying in from Denver tomorrow for a short visit, and I'm madly preparing the house of course, so I needed to make this week's post simpler and shorter than usual.

For this post I thought I'd try making some "Boho--Whoa!" (or Maximum Boho) earrings using some components I'd been hoarding.  I chose beautiful teal lampies by Beth Mellor of Beeboo and gorgeous textured ceramic pieces by Karen Totten of Starry Road Studio.  I added coordinating Czech glass flowers and discs and copper beads, perfect to make what I saw in my mind's eye...

Boho Whoa! earrings can be found here.  



For me, these pretties are definitely maximum, beautiful Boho, and I had a wonderful time making them. Thanks so much for looking, and I'll see you in a couple of weeks!
