Here you go ... seahorses ... still working on colors I like for them. Now stitching out sand dollar earrings and pendant ...

Oh those are beautiful! I thought ya'll were kidding about those and I wasn't going to "bite" again! LOVE the yellow ones!

SAND DOLLARS??????? You didn't tell me there were sand dollars involved!!!

Krystyna,
Lovely seahorses and NOW sand dollars? Wow you are a busy bee! And with all this you have to clean up the glitter, take care of the monkeys.. oh my u r busy! Save the vodka for our fishing trip too!

I am making those also (the embroidery earrings like K is making).

She has been corrupting ME (again) and i have been getting more
designs.

I have developed this "liking" for making earrings because they are
pretty, easy and FAST to make, the hardest part is picking the colors.

I also made some peacock feathers and LOVE those!

HERE is a picture of some earrings I made this week 2 sets of peppermint
candy (one ALL metallic thread, the other with a little metallic), ladybugs,
feathers, and, seahorses.

I have sand dollars, pink ribbons and can't remember what else still on the
hoop waiting for more to finish "filling" up the hoop.

But I LOVE K's different color seahorses.

Vodka? What vodka? *hic*
I love, love, love the sand dollars. Making them in sets of earrings and pendants ... but what to hang the pendants from? I'm now running some in white with glitter thread details (no, not real glitter ... more like a shiney translucent thread -- laser colors) but what a PITA to stitch out. I need to try the needles Louise just sent me ... and then I will also run some sets with organza in the middle! No sand dollars for stinky girls so be nice!

Louise, those are fabulous. A note to someone who shall remain nameless ... I was going to buy the ladybug earrings to make some ... but someone else who shall remain nameless beat me to the punch, so I am bugless.

Nice Louise! LOVE the peacock feathers too!

K,

Did you get the needles yet? TRY them, I am almost SURE that you
are going to find a BIG improvement with stitching out metallic thread
and FSL.

In fact that is about the ONLY needles I seem to use anymore for ALL
embroidery because I find that everything just stitches out so nice for
me with them.

Yep. Just got them. Thanks a bunch, Louise. Will try with the next batch! I caved and just ordered more Superior threads holographic thread. Sooooo pretty!
