Ear Candy On My Worktable--WOYWW #250
Happy What's-On-Your-Workdesk-Wednesday No. 250! Woo hoo! I send out a big hug and thanks to our delightful hostess for this fabulous linky party, Ms. Julia Dunnit and her blog, Stamping Ground.
Visit the linky party here. And if you've never joined a linky party, Julia has all the instructions. And then you too can see what your crafty tribe members are working on all over the planet.
Now, onto my worktable. Look at that huge space! Wow! I was actually cleaning up and rearranging a bit after a two-week long dabble in my bead stash! But it's very fun because I'm learning to make bubble wands and earrings for my spring and fall craft shows. I also did quite a bit of die-cutting to make tags for the earrings and get a nice stash of die-cuts going for a line of sewing-themed cards I'm making too.
Now I'm not a jewelry maker, let me make that clear! But I keep piddling
around with this stash of beads I have and realizing how much fun it is
to play with beads and wire. Oh so fun. And fast too--that's important when you're making things to sell at a craft fair.
AND look...I shopped at Joann's Fabric & Crafts store and got this tote bag for a dollar! I'm now addicted to that store--I'll probably go there with coupons in hand every week for the next few months! Oh dear.
Happy WOYWW lovely deskers. I'll be 'round for a look at your desk soon. ♥

Wow, that IS a cute tote. Love the handles that look like tape measures. The beads work up nicely. That's important, as well as speed. I bought a bubble wand at a Renn Faire years ago. I still play with it in the springtime. Some of us are kids at heart! Happy WOYWW from #2.
ReplyDeleteWish we had a shop like that here. Love that bag. Great packaging and earrings, hope you sell lots. #29
ReplyDeleteMM love the earring and the tote!! bargain! and no my one time making earrings has not encouraged a return attempt :D happy WOYWW Shaz in Oz.x #32
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy - love the ear rings on their fab little holders. The tote is gorgeous, of course you had to have it... Helen 9
ReplyDeleteI've got a texture boutique too! Don't you just love it :)
ReplyDeleteWow, love that tote, especially the straps! What a bargain...it's probably just as well that there isn't a Joanne's in the UK, I'd never be out if there!
ReplyDeleteI love the beady things you've been making and the die cut tags make it look so professional, love it! You sound as if you've been having a lot of fun :-)
Hugs, LLJ 39 xx
OH that craft show frenzy, I remember helping my friend get her things ready and the stress she went through in doing that. It is not for me but love to be on the other side of the stand. Good idea to mount your ear rings into tags.
ReplyDeleteThat tote is fab too.

Love your new tote bag! Sadly no Joannes in Canada, or at least not in my part of it. But we do have Michaels. Your earrings are very pretty, but kind of get lost in the background pattern of the tags. Good luck in your craft fairs!

Joanne's is like heaven - and if you have coupons then it's like an open invite to go every week! Love those earrings, I'd say you're definitely a talented jewellery maker. Happy Wednesday xJT #59
ReplyDeleteOooh, I might have to go to Joanns just to get that tote and well, if I come away with a few other things then so be it! love your ear rings, playing with beads is so satisfying!

Thanks for stopping by mine. Love the bag and the tags with the earrings look great, who wouldn't want to buy something so nice!
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting, Angela #33
Hi Sandy Leigh, thanks for your visit and I must say I love your cheer work space and the great colours there this week, cool ear rings and love the $1 bag. Have this week, cheers RobynO#38
ReplyDeleteLove the desk view and those earrings are awesome! I have had 2 of those totes and I love it too!! ... a word of caution the bag comes apart on the seams cause they didn't back stitch it to lock it in. I glued the seams on the first bag but on the second bag I just sewed it. Have a great week and thanks for stopping by my desk and leaving a comment. Vickie #43
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty combinations of beads in your earrings. I have that scalloped tag set and never thought to use it for earring cards, great idea!
ReplyDeleteHappy Woyww,
Sandy #1
