Beautiful Bead Crochet....

And here is another skill I haven't the patience to perfect! Nona, of Lanmom Originals, crochets with beads. That's a bit of an understatement really. Just look:

Southwestern Necklace - Sedona Dreams

Nona explains how it is done in some of her listing descriptions: 

"There are four steps to creating a piece of bead crochet rope jewelry. The first step is design, which includes determining the look of the finished product and breaking that pattern down to a straight sequence of beads. The second step is stringing, where each individual bead is strung on thread in the correct sequence. One mistake here will destroy the pattern, so I take great care! The third step is to crochet each of these tiny beads into a beautiful, strong and light bead rope. The fourth and final step is finishing with joins, findings and/or accent beads to complete a lovely and unique piece of jewelry."

Nope, can't do it!

That is a most beautiful piece of jewellery!


ReCycladelic Pop Top Bracelet

Nona says these are much simpler but they still look mighty complicated to me!

And, to top it all, Nona takes beautiful photographs and makes her own soap!

Lemon Lavender Castile Soap

I'm beginning to feel inadequate, so, for the sake of my ego, I'm stopping there! LOL





Soap, beautiful soap....

My Etsy team mate, Kellie is a clever lady! In her shop you will find all manner of handmade, natural soaps, balms, scrubs, lotions and other things that smell good!

Pumpkin Soap

Some of them even look good enough to eat:

Oatmeal Soap with Chocolate Chips!

Some have rather exotic ingredients:

Raspberry Patchouli Soap

And some are for the man in your life:

Manly Man Soap! 

There's loads more where these came from. They would make excellent Christmas presents, too!
