Seed Beed Ankle Bracelets

To pass my time and use up some seed beads, I did a search on seed bead ankle bracelets and came up with this:

 

(I should have turned the photo) They were fun and once I got past the first one, they went very quickly.  You can find the pattern on youtube by searching beaded ankle bracelets.  I'd give you the link but I downloaded it to my desktop and no longer have it.  She's with Off The Beaded Path.

I made a few other strung jewelry pieces that I"ll get photos of and post soon.  

Today I'm making paper beads again.  I found an outstanding Facebook page HERE  

You'll find the website for these beads below HERE

I really want to make these!  Paper sure can be a fun hobby.........LOVE IT!

Favecrafts is an awesome site! AND they have a blog, too!

I knew about their Favecrafts web site but I didn't know they have a blog, too. Plus and this was exciting to find out, they have another web site called Allfreecrochet!

AND don't forget to check out their other web site:

All free crochet !

Did you know they are on the radio!?  They have give-aways, wonderful childrens projects, Father's Day gift ideas and patterns, summer knits, home decor and so much more.  This is a must visit!

Have you thought about all those hundreds of coffee filters you have?  They have ideas for those, too, and kids can make these things!

I'm sorry, I just get so excited when I find such a quality fun web site with hundreds of free patterns.

I gotta go read more.  Wish I had more time as I could spend all day on these web sites.

  Red Heart Mini Purse Patterns using Heart and Sole

Look what I made!  LOL  This is actually a key chain mini purse but I plan on stuffing it and closing it up to make a mini pincushion.  Good idea, huh?

I didn't have the Heart and Sole, which is a sock yarn, so I used some other leftover sock yarn.  I know I have some Heart and Sole here but do you think I can find it?  And who knows, maybe I did but without the paper label, I don't know which it is and I don't want to call it Heart and Sole if I don't know for sure. 

It was fun making this little purse and it gave me some great ideas for more.  I feel my own pattern coming on!  LOL

So get out that sock yarn or any fine gauge, think this one I used is a DK weight, and make some little purses.
