Survived the Holidays

Yet another holiday season has come and gone (whew!). I ended up redoing the doily for a third time. The ruffling looked really pretty and I got a lot of compliments on it, but it wasn't working for me as a Christmas gift. I'm going to keep playing with it though. It's a feature that holds promise.


The necklace I did for my sister-in-law was done on the spot. It was done entirely in amber, copper, and navy blue beads. She wore it for the rest of the weekend, so I'm guessing she liked it. Always a plus!


I'm "doilied" out at the moment, so I am working on an african helix cord at the moment. Tricky business. I'm not really happy with the way it's working at the moment, and it looks like I may have to pull it due to an error at the beginning. Urgh...Got to love the learning curve!
