Starry Lanyard


It's amazing what happens when you clean up your "creative space." The dust and clutter was piling up so I decided to take the Fly Lady's advice and spent a few minutes on the kitchen island, which is a "hot spot." For anyone who feels overwhelmed by the mounds of cr@p to do around the house and/or suffers from CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome) then you need to take a quick peek at the Fly Lady website. It's free, and I promise, completely do-able.

Now, getting back to the beads. I've had beader's block for a couple of months and decided to start putting away the crafting stuff so I could dust the kitchen island. Lo and behold, the ideas started coming together again! This lanyard is actually made of stuff I bought when looking at different ideas for wedding accessories. When I switched from a champagne colored dress to diamond white at the last minute, these beautiful beads got pushed to the wayside. They're gorgeous though. Instead of using the typical S-ring I've been using on my other lanyards, I used a simple "embellishment ring." (The kind used for making cluster rings.) It has a more delicate look, don't you think?
