Crystal Beaded Jewelry is my passion. At first I like to buy every kind of jewelry - not expensive one - to match my cloths but sometimes I couldn't find what I want. Then I started to make my own jewelry. All of items in my shop I design from what I like which is another passion of mine Wedding Stuffs... I think about what I will wear when I go to wedding events or sometimes I look at the wedding gowns and think about what will match to those gowns.. As I made them like I will wear them myself, I choose the best quality materials as I can find.. I can guarantee you that you will receive the best quality of jewelry from my shop..

Hummingbird Moth and Soaring Socks

While sitting outside and doing a little knitting I spied this little guy. I first thought he was a bee, then when I got closer, I noticed he was acting like a hummingbird. A long nose, clear wings, and a hairy body? Could he be a moth?   Yep, after some investigating, I discovered he is a Hummingbird moth, see this great slowed down video. He is actually a Snowberry Clearwing Hummingbird Moth ! We have been enjoying watching him! While sitting outside I’ve been working on my Sock, the basic sock from the Socks that soar on two needles by Cat Bordhi. I love this method of knitting socks! Hoping to get these done soon, it is a fast method of knitting socks, and when carrying them, no worries about having a dpn drop out. May your knitting needles fly as fast as dragonflies..
