Made the decision:

Well, I chose earring number 4. I liked the first and second pictures best, but when I went to Michaels yesterday, they really didn't have many beads that worked for those styles. So I went with number 4. I could find the most bead choices for it. I won't have anything like the letter charms shown in the picture, though, just normal crystal beads.
This afternoon I will work on making the earrings and necklace, so will hopefully be able to post some pictures before I depart for my uncle's house in Phoenix, AZ, for Easter. I am SO excited!!!!
I will also try to post pictures of some bobbinlace patterns I have to choose between to make for my second cousin's wedding Tree Skirt. I chose an Angel pattern for my Uncle's wedding Tree Skirt. Plus I am going to start a pattern with some new techniques soon. So I am finally getting back to the bobbinlace grind! :)

Easter Dress




Ok, here is the dress I need to pick earrings for. I am thinking I am going to make a float necklace. A float necklace is a necklace with a certain amount of beads, say an inch, and then a certain amount of wire in between bead segments, thereby giving the beads a "floating" appearance. I am going to try to make a double stranded necklace this time.
It will be my first try at this, so I'll have to let you know how it turns out. This will be much harder, because first of all, I am crunched for time, as I will need both necklace and earrings finished by Friday morning, when I am leaving for Phoenix, AZ, to visit my uncle and his family. Secondly, the necklace will be hard because it will be my first time making a double strand, as I formerly mentioned. And lastly, because I have not had the best experience making float necklaces. I hope it turns out well!

Earring indecision...















Hello to all my friends!! I am having an extremely hard time choosing between all these awesome earring choices to make to go with my Easter dress. If you have a minute, could you post a comment, or send me a quick email, telling me which you would pick? Keep in mind that I will choose beads with colors that coordinate with my dress, so just choose according to the style of earring. Thanks!!! ~Marie
