Chicklet Blog Hop, Carnival Blog Hop Haberdashery Blog Hop OH MY!!!!!

WOW WOW WOW It Blog Hop Mania!! Well. I am going to Make it easier ( at least on me!) I am putting all 3 of my Blog Hops in a single post!! Please visit the blogs of other participants. Links to each of my 3 blog hops is at the bottom of this post. I hope you enjoy my pieces


Choosy Chicks Choose Chicklets Design Challenge




We will start off here with the Suebeads Chicklet Design and Blog Hop!
I have been suffering from a bit of design block lately. Finally it came to me that my little chicklet would make a pretty key ring!  I decided to use knotting cord with bone pieces feathers and star and then a few seed beads to dangle as well. this is what I came up with:


thank you toltec jewels and sue beads for the opportunity to participate in this wonderful blog hop. I was also given a couple extra chicklets and bought a set too lookign forward to designing with them :)



Haberdashery Blog Hop


This was a design blog hop using fibers in a design.. again with design block ti took a while . I was surfing pinterest for ideas. i contemplated a few different things then decided why not make a simple pair of earrings!!! This is what I came up with! Yes they are quick and easy fabric roll earrings.:)


this one got me way out of my elementl while suffering design block i wasn't quite sure where to take this challenge.  I still may add a dangle to this pair of earrings but I at least needed to post something.



Summer Carnival Blog Hop




Last and certainly not least is my Carnival Blog Hop!!! FINALLY Creativity has returned!!! Yes it took quite a while!!!! but I started to play with my beads and this is what I started with:



Well this is the first things i created not using the pieces but totally inspired but the theme of carnival merry-go-rounds.... i think of fairs and the merry-go-round! this piece is based off a pattern i bought from julia s preti called day pendant. i changed up colors  and the design to turn it into a merry-go-round! added horses too to both :)





 This is what I created: This is the Set!


Here is a close up of the necklace:



Then there are earrings:


Then another pair of earrings:


Oh Yea a Bracelet to top this off!!!

Thank you for visiting my blog. Below you will find links to all other participants in each of the blog hops.

  2. Looks like you are in good company this weekend for multiple hops. And how lucky for me that I get to see them all in one visit. I stopped by for the Haby Hop today and would have been back tomorrow for chicklets. As a bonus I get treated to your carnival designs too. Wonderful work.

  3. Your pieces are lovely. I really love the color of your chicklet and you set it off well with your other choices. I really like paper beads - now fabric beads I'm going to have to explore. I like those earrings! Your merry-go-rounds are so cute! And your carnival pieces with Lisa's beads are great. Yay for the return of creativity!

  4. Wow. All your bases are covered. I love your chicklet design and the merry go round beads are the cutest things ever.

    ReplyDelete
  5. What great designs. I really like the necklace that you made for the Carnival hop.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Wow, you have been busy. Love all of your pieces. What did you use on your fabric rolls to hold them together?

    ReplyDelete
  7. WOW 3 hops in one day I thought I was doing great when I had 3 in one week. Your key chain is very unique and creative. The blue fabric earrings are pretty. Your merry-go-rounds are adorable. You are a clever girl. Your red, white, and blue set is lovely.

  8. I see absolutely NO design block here! Oh wow..all of your pieces are beautiful. Can I say that I'm really loving those puff merry-go-round beads?! Perfect little replicas..love them!

    ReplyDelete
  9. Well that is a busy saturday! I like the fabric beads, I'd like to try that! And I absolutely love your merry go round woven pieces, so sweet. Great job with all your hops.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Love the merry go rounds based on Julia's day pendant. It one of her patterns I have not done yet. Your variation is fun.

    ReplyDelete
  11. All such great designs. I see no block here and to take on 3 hops all at once you are a brave soul I can barely handle one.

    ReplyDelete
  12. oh my ... this is hop mania! lovely designs - those beaded beads of the merry-go-round are absolutely stunning!

    ReplyDelete
  13. You were hop crazy! Love that you included them all together...that way I could see all your lovelies since I'm trying to visit for all 3 of the hops :) Love that you went out of the jewelry box for your chicklet...it does make a great key ring. The easy fabric earrings are great...it's always better to share something then nothing so great job not being defeated by your lack of muse. The carnival collection is just gorgeous...those merry go rounds are truly amazing!

  14. What a neat idea for the chicklet.
    Very useful as well as pretty.

  15. Holy Moley, Heather - you have been busy! I love your Merry Go Round Pendant. I think the wrap bracelet with the anchor is my favorite. I would wear that a lot. Thanks for being in the Summer Carnival Hop!

  21. "Chicklets" --- Lovely 'simple' design. Great key ring with nice details! Beautiful colours♥

    ReplyDelete
  22. What fun! I came for the Chicklet blog hop but feel like "I got 3 for the price of 1!" I really love the unique shades of green and the design of your keychain, but I enjoyed getting to see all 3 of your entries!

    ReplyDelete
  23. OMG really - great job on all the three hops. The chicklets piece is fresh and airy and I really love your beaded merry go rounds - they remind me of little rattle toys - very sweet

    ReplyDelete
  24. Great pieces Heather! Your little carnival pendants are sweet, love them. The fabric roll earrings are nifty, thanks for joining in with my blog hop!

    ReplyDelete
  25. We had so much fun together yet again designing, talking about ideas for these two hops. You make such great one of a kind pieces and today we'll make more again.

    ReplyDelete
  26. What a great idea to combine all three hops in one blog! It was a busy weekend! I love the chicklet keyring! You could also use it as a purse bling. Your carnival seed beads pendants are fabulous! :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. THOSE CAROUSEL BEADS! Holy crow. I'm amazed!

    ReplyDelete
  28. OMG, those carousel beads...how beautiful! I love them. And your jewelry set...I love it....seems like all of us red/white/blue of some kind. Excellent job!

    ReplyDelete
  29. First of all, hats off for participating in all blog hops in spite of the design block you feel. Looking at your pieces, you have overcome it - the key-ring is pretty and can also turn into a purse dangle and the merry-go-round dangles are uniquely beautiful! Rolled fabric beads are totally in the theme of the haby hop and you can make more to add to necklaces and bracelets as a different design element!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Great design with your chicklet. That will make a great key finder. I know I lose my keys all the time! Beautiful designs.
