Yesterday Julia showed some beautiful glass heart beads she found recently, and she reminded me that I've been hoarding similar beads for a while now with the intention of making something pretty. Every bead selection I buy seems to have a few hearts in it these days, and I'm not about to complain - we have hearts all over the house: beaded ones, glittery ones, cake tins, bits of fabric ...
So I decided to make a little charm bracelet. See how it sparkles!

And I was so pleased with it I decided to make another one:
I've been wearing them together all day. I think I might do the same again tomorrow, especially if the sun shines again!
Charming! (No pun intended, but I'll leave it anyway...)
ReplyDeleteSo lovely and sparkly and vintage-y!
ReplyDeleteAnd just checking out your book column: you always read the best books! Didn't you just love I Capture the Castle and Small Island? What did you think of Precious Bane?

There is something so pleasing about the shape of a heart, don't you think? Your bracelets are lovely - what colour will today's be? x

ReplyDeleteThey look gorgeous in the sun. I love red and turquoise together and have a couple of bracelets - one red and one blue - that I always wear together. Lovely heart beads too.

ReplyDeleteI've peeped at these lovely bracelets about three times and been called away by tots before I could comment. I love the light glinting through the little clear heart. I've got some serious competition!
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely love to take both you and Gina up on your offers of crochet tutelage. Ace! Emma x
