Graduation Gift

This is a graduation gift I was asked to make for a dear friend's daughter. She is an amazing young woman who has had health issues and surgeries. She sings and dances competitively, loves Twilight,M&Ms and clothes. She had surgery on her foot and now loves wearing great shoes. Guess what, I have some neat shoe charms . I couldn't find a sterling chain I liked so I made this one myself and am very pleased with it. So pleased that I'm making one for myself to put a beautiful Druzy stone I bought that need to be hung on something extra special.

Three Beautiful Babes

These were charms I did for a necklace that a mom at our preschool won in a silent auction. She was pregnant at the time and wanted to wait till the baby got a little older. These are her 3 angels at 3 months old. Their initials are on the back in a fancy script. It turned out so well. I could probably make a ton of $$$$ doing these but I would loose my mind making the same type thing over and over and over again. Normally I will solder for a couple of hours then move to the sewing machine or bead weaving for a break. 

Happy Mother's Day! I am planning NOTHING! I just want a regular day. I've been sooo busy with shows, school fundraisers, school end of year program practice, yada yada yada. I just want to piddle around the house and yard and cook something good for supper. I will say my sweet babies at preschool gave their mommies the most adorable gift for Mother's day. Ornamentea had these great bezels on clearance. The children did their tiny pinky prints in images of flowers and bugs. I just outlined and put in a few details (they are only 3 & 4 yrs. old and working in a very small space). We put them on ribbon and boy were they sweet. I still wear a button my daughter made me for M day when she was 5 ( she is 22 now). Happy Mother's day , our children are our greatest gift and accomplishment.
