A Handmade Christmas


My mom and I usually exchange at least a couple of gifts that we've made for each other, and this year was no exception. Here's what she made me:

A dragonfly necklace of amethyst and sterling silver. I adore dragonflies, and this is probably the 5th or 6th dragonfly piece my mom has made for me over the years. It's so simple and pretty, I'll be able to wear it with anything.

And on the completely other side of the fence is this crazy charm bracelet! My mom loves to make things like this for me because she knows that she can never go too over-the-top for my tastes, so it's loaded with everything from my name and initials to tiny masks and arms and legs and jacks and keys--you name it! This is probably my favorite piece she's ever made me. :o)

(I've included lots of pics because it really needs to be seen from all angles)
