More old/new Celtic knots

So I finished up going through my y-necklaces yesterday, remade several pieces that no longer seemed to be in my stock anymore, and today I started going through my Celtic knot necklaces. I retook pictures of 10 necklaces today, have two more to retake, but also discovered 18 of this style that I had never listed. 18! That's insane! What was I not thinking when I made these? I worry about my moron-ness sometimes.

So here's a bunch of things that I've had but hadn't listed, and a few things I had listed but didn't have:

Faceted Amethyst Celtic Knot Necklace



Hot Pink Freshwater Pearls and Celtic Knot Necklace



Black Onyx & Milky Quartz Celtic Knot Necklace



Malachite and Celtic Knot Necklace



Cobalt Blue Glass Celtic Knot Necklace



Garnet and Antique Opalite Celtic Knot Necklace



Pale Mint Green Freshwater Pearls and Celtic Knot Necklace

A Year in the Making, day 334

It's August 1st! This is month 12 of my year in the making. Including today, that's only 31 days to go! And I got off on my count again, because with 31 days left of 365, I should be on 334. I'm good at math. Really I am. This is just my trying to see if you're paying attention! Really!

We went off to the beach this morning, a semi-regular Sunday tradition, for toasty beverages and so the husband and munchkin can throw rocks in the water together. Then we got home and started planning for next weekend, which is the Washington Midsummer Renaissance Festival. And my husband uttered 8 fateful words.

"What is Gwendolyn wearing for Faire this year?"

Oh, (*censored*)! One of her dresses still fits, but we'll probably go for both days. I've always represented the fantasy contingent, and my daughter has loved to go as a fairy the last few years. Normally I plan better and go buy fabric, but today I just dug through the fabric stash. Of course, my stash is full of "my" colors, black and burgundies. So this year, it seems the munchkin will be representing the dark fey, the unseelie court.

I'm going to be working on wings for the both of us over the next few evenings.

Did manage to get another necklace made this morning as well:

A Year in the Making, day 278

Back in the beading saddle again, as promised! I actually have been making things the last few days, just not posting them. I nearly ran out of chain, but my supply order came just in time to save the day.

With the camera charged, I was able to list the two pieces I made last week finally!

Freshwater Pearl and Celtic Knot Necklace



Amethyst and Freshwater Pearl Necklace:



And on to the new stuff! I was already romping through the red/purple/pink box, and I have these wonderful huge rose quartz beads that finally demanded I do something with them.

Rose Quartz and Amethyst Choker



This one isn't going to be listed, as it's going to be gifted shortly:

Apple Green Lampwork Glass with White Flowers

Green and White Flower Lampwork Necklace

And now I'm off to find something to satisfy my sweet tooth. I am craving pudding, but I am out of milk with which to make some. I may have to settle for yogurt. Ick.

A Year in the Making, day 272

I'm in another photo situation. The camera battery is dead, and I can't find the recharger this time. Dangit. Finding one black piece of black plastic in a house that's filled with lots of black objects ... yeah, that needle in a haystack thing? Worse.

I spent the evening after making today's necklace at my second waltz class. One two three one two three. We were short gents this evening, so took turns leading, to much hilarity.

Two necklaces today, one from last night and one from tonight:

Pearl and Celtic Knot Y-Necklace:

Pearl Y Necklace with Celtic Knot

Amethyst and Pearl Choker:

Pearl & Amethyst necklace

Now off to a night of watching Dresden Files on Netflix and sipping a glass of cider.
