Sorry about the radio silence over here. For those of you that follow Patty's Pretty Things on Facebook, you saw that we had a bit of a family issue a couple of weeks ago. You see, my six-year-old son took a bad fall and landed on his face. I actually closed up shop for a couple of weeks so I could wrap my brain around everything that had happened, and come up with a plan to deal with all of his injuries. But he's doing well, and recovering nicely, with very few lingering effects. The only ongoing issue will be a number of orthodontic/dental procedures because of his permanent tooth extraction.
I have been doing some shop stuff... I have a few pairs of earrings, and an adjustable bracelet. I got some emerald jade that I'm enjoying, as well as some other bright summer colors, and I used some for a pair of earrings.
I really love those mosaic agate beads with the jade - they have flecks of gold and shimmer in them, and are simply gorgeous.
The bracelet is made with large fancy jasper rounds, and Czech glass, strung on white cotton cording. I really love it, and it's so easy to wear!!
I have some plans for some really dainty wrap bracelets. I have the beads all picked out, and the cord cut - I just need to put them together!!
