Bead Overload

(I actually wrote this article back in December and never published it.  I just realized I don't know why I never did, so here it is) 

I do a lot of craftsy things. 
One thing I have A LOT of is beads, and I mean a lot!!
Thousands and thousands of beads, of all colors, shapes, sizes......

 I don't get a lot of free time, but when I do (and when I am not on the computer) I am making something.

Aside from sewing, hairbows, magnets, and all the other stuff I make, another one of my projects was some various bead jewelry.  I usually just make hemp necklaces and have been doing so for many years, but this time I decided to do something a bit different with some of my beads.

These are the necklaces that I made back in October, when the computer was broke, and I couldn't get online...

Let me tell you, it is NOT easy trying to string tons and tons of seed beeds onto monofilament (fish line) , while your daughter is trying to climb all over you, and get into your stuff, to "help" lol.

So several times I lost a whole strand and ended up resorting to only making them when she was napping, or already in bed for the night.

This one I made for myself to wear during October for Breast Cancer awareness

even tho they don't go with this article, I also made my daughter some Pink ribbon hair bows to wear:

I also made a pair of earrings that match the necklace and the hairbows :)

Then I made this silly choker for fun, for Halloween:

this one took me forever..

instead of a clasp, I used a bone:)

and a few more:

here are a few of the hemp necklaces that I have made, these are the only ones I have photos of, on my computer right now, but I have made HUNDREDS of these things, mostly given away to friends and family members, altho I have sold several too!

Thanks for taking the time to look at my stuff! 

I appreciate it!
