I sent most of our ornaments to our kids when they grew up, and I didn't want to do trees anymore. But then I decided I needed to do one. Voila! The newly made jewelry! Perfect!!! I hope to win your beautiful pewter ornament, and I guarantee it will do double duty at least until January lst! --SallyASally Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915099472711692640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-40693833118321261062010-11-28T11:06:11.969-05:002010-11-28T11:06:11.969-05:00Those are all great ideas, and I especially love t...Those are all great ideas, and I especially love the thought of having some ornaments in the garden. I am also thinking of using cast charms as stitch markers for my knitting, and putting them onto barrettes for hair ornaments.

My mother-in-law used to stick those silly pre-made bows on top of her head just for laughs!The first year I discovered polymer clay she only had to run her gift's ribbon through my tie-on bead for a bit of a better look!!!<br />How much better is that new sweater if you include a matching pendant on the gift box !<br />My beads also live in my garden as ornaments.I can always "pick" them out of my garden to wear on a necklace if I want to. No end to what a bead can be !!! m.e. :)m.e.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15217631585608187053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-47269098289126784922010-11-27T17:50:49.624-05:002010-11-27T17:50:49.624-05:00I've been giving jewelry as gifts for a couple...I've been giving jewelry as gifts for a couple of years,this year I got them matching pjs.Some of the ornaments that I've made have become permanent dislays year round in the house.I use oddball beads to decorate gifts,as I can't think of anything else to do with them.Gail W.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-64261592439784867302010-11-27T16:56:24.185-05:002010-11-27T16:56:24.185-05:00I use beads on my ink desressed gift tags that I m...I use beads on my ink desressed gift tags that I make for my http://www.LilLoveNotes.etsy.com site (I also sell on Sundays at an indoor swap meet)...they sell out really quickly.

I like to add a string of beads on a plate or dish with a candle(s) in the middle, hung with wire on the tree, draped here and there in a mantle garland. Usually I have to be restrained!

Ornaments are one and then I think I small things like napkin rings, wine glass charms, knobs and lamp pulls. <br /><br />Thank you for the peek into your studio! I've enjoyed myself :-)<br /><br />CindyCindy Gimbronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625146240609776265noreply@blogger.com
