March 6, 2010...
Well the snow has almost all melted and it is a beautiful day today! My husband is out in his barn rebuilding a rail buggy. His barn has become the meeting place for all the guys in our neighborhood since he started working on this rail buggy. He knows where to find me...either at my computer or making jewelry.
The bracelet I am featuring today is a vintage piece...very pretty!

March 3, 2010...This is my sheltie "Kenna". She is intently watching out my front window because there are about 5 men and tons of equipment taking down 2 big dead trees in my front yard. She sat there all morning keeping on eye on them and only barked when they came and left. Of course, as anyone knows that owns a sheltie, my husband and I are her "herd" and having 5 men in our yard all morning was very concerning to Kenna!

Necklace How To:
Instructions:
Things You'll Need:
* Tigertail or nylon flexible wire
* Sterling Silver clasp
* Sterling Silver Jump ring
* Crimping pliers
* Sterling Silver Crimp beads
* Bead board
* Wire cutter
* Turquoise beads
* Matching spacer or seed beads
Step 1
Plan your necklace design. Use a bead board to determine the length of your necklace. These boards can be found at any jewelry supply or crafts store.
Step 2
Cut the tigertail or flexible wire so that it is long enough for a finished necklace. This should be about 20 to 25 inches depending on the length that you want.
Step 3
Take one end of the wire and slide it through the loop of a lobster-claw sterling silver clasp, then take the wire that is attached to the clasp, and slide it through a sterling silver crimp bead, (I used a toggle clasp instead of a lobster claw clasp-you can use either). Tighten the wire slightly, then use crimping pliers to flatten the crimp bead into the wire so that the end of the necklace stays in place. Cut excess wire if necessary.
Step 4
String large turquoise gemstone beads onto your wire. Use smaller matching spacer beads or seed beads as spacers in between your necklace design if you wish. This adds to the finished professional look.
Step 5
Add the sterling silver jump ring to the other end of your necklace after you've finished stringing the beads. Follow the instructions for Step 3 above. Put on the necklace by attaching the lobster claw to the jump ring.
