Blue Fantasy AND Anchors Aweigh!!!!

Yes once again multiple blog hops in 1 weeks... Here is your 2fer!


First we will start with BLUE FANTASY!


Here is what i had to start with:
So i looked and looked at this beautiful palate and had many ideas. I set it aside. Suddenly I came down sick ( yes I been sick for a week!!!)  So while sick in bed i decided to play with my beads!!! well this is what i was able to come up with.


Usually i use most of the beads in my pack and some of my own but unfortunately this time I wasn't able to. I hope you do enjoy what I did create!!!

Next is ANCHORS AWEIGH!



Yes 2 blog hops while sick!! Again beading in bed! all i could think of with anchors was Coral!! and i played away and this is what i came up with. A pair of earrings with beautiful pair of earrings with beautiful anchors made by suburban girl!

  1. Me first! I get to comment first! LOL. It's so coordinating how both of these challenges have similar coloring and worked well for you. My favorite is the NECKLACE. I can totally see a famous model walking down the cat walk wearing just this necklace as their accessory in a white string bikini. You rocked this challenge.
