Bottoms up....

 Did you hear about the awesome theme for the latest DeNami challenge?? Anything Goes!!!!!! Wow, I wouldn't want to be the person responsible for choosing the winner on this one! I have a little bit of a different project that I just finished up and thought I'd enter them...

I recently joined a book club....with as much as I read I can't believe I hadn't before now! We alternate houses for the meetings and serve some snacks and wine but I don't own any glass charms...they are a must have for our gatherings as we can never keep up with our glasses. Instead of going out and buying some random charms I decided to make some...what better charms than CHICKIES!


I did a lot of jewelry making / beading before the arthritis in my fingers and the corporal tunnel got to bad and I have trouble holding onto those tiny beads...I still had plenty of supplies on hand. Each one has stickles on the chickie for a little added bling. For the beading I choose pearls, pink beads and crystals. These are as girly as it gets :) Don'tcha just love them? I can't wait for the gals to come over to show them off!

I found "make your own" travel mugs at my local craft store. As part of Wendy's Christmas goodies I made her one using her favorite DeNami stamp...any guesses? It was the daisy of course!! It turned out adorable so I decided to make another one using my favorite stamp...what do you think?

You can't see it real well from the photo, but I added stickles to the mini swirl flourishes for some bling. I just love this cup...perfect for my hot tea since I don't do coffee!

Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think....good or bad....or even better - what would you have done differently??...crafty minds wanna know!

  2. Oh my goodness!!! These are both fabulous! That travel mug is fabulous, but while I sip my glass of red wine right at this moment, I can imagine how much better it would look with a little chickie charm on it!
