Baking and Bracelets

I spent the afternoon baking up a storm. I had gluten-free baking to do as well as diabetic baking. Tarts, pies, muffins and mini muffins. My counter is full of delicious goodies.

After the baking was done, I had some custom jewelry to make.

Here are the two most recent Medical ID bracelets I’ve made. I think they’re  pretty. And they were very fun to make. I made two earlier in the week as well, but they’ve been delivered to the customers already, and I didn’t have my photo tent out to take some pictures before I sent them to their new homes.

The first one here is pink & green Swarovski crystals with Sterling beads and clasps.

The second bracelet is a two-tone Swarovski crystal bracelet in purples, with Sterling beads & clasps.

I did do some sewing this week. I ‘tweaked’ my pattern and it was perfect – except I didn’t add a seam allowance!!!! I could hardly believe I did that, but I did. I was so focused on making the pattern and then alterations to the pattern, that I overlooked a very basic part. It’s an easy fix, but I don’t think I’ll be doing any sewing now until after Christmas.

Merry Christmas! and have a very Happy New Year!
