A "charming" Show and Tell

My photos for Project 365 today are not the ones I planned………I did take the kids to a playground at Ramore Head today in Portrush, but I forgot my camera!

Instead, some pictures of some jewellery I made at the end of my jewellery course and some I made for my daughters.

Our class was a real mix of personalities and ages, and we had a wee party on our last night including some delicious home-made Mint Aero cheesecake. I really enjoyed the course, and am seriously considering enrolling for a full year long course in September in our local college.

First we have the charm bracelet I made at the class.

Then one I made for myself using an elasticated chain bracelet from Claires.

Then two I made for my daughters – they selected their own charms/beads.

I must say I really enjoy making them and am almost considering selling these in an etsy store. If you had a choice, what colours or charms would you choose?

I am not sure what appeals to me so much about charm bracelets, but I have always found them fascinating.

I can’t quite believe our Easter holiday here at the cottage is coming to an end. It has been lovely and in the most part relaxing……and it certainly beats living in the middle of our kitchen makeover.

Want another little peak of the transformation? Come back tomorrow!
