many many thanks!

I came home today to the nicest surprise...Judith, who I sent a giveaway to earlier, sent me the absolute nicest and most thoughtful package! Take a look:

Here's the beautiful packaging. I love the stamps and her writing, and the package with the lovely fabric tie!

Here are the gifts!!! Everything is so wonderful: a patchwork pouch in some of my favorite colors, a flower cushion that I will use for pins, an adorable sock ring, and a perfect bag of beads! Now we have only recently met through our blogs, but she pinpointed the perfect things for me!! I cannot thank you enough!!! You are too kind.

Here's what I got done after work today, a pile of crystal earrings! They're fun to make and really pretty easy. I basically just use the same technique as in my tutorial, just with bigger crystals! I'm just trying to get prepared for some shows, plus I need some new fall earrings myself! Hopefully this week I'm able to get a lot more done-I just got in a huge order of earring hooks, clasps, and ss beads, so I'm set for at least a little while!
