Memory Wire Bracelets

Millefiori glass heart and oval beads,  black acrylic round beads, black glass seed beads, Tibetian silver "Made with Love" heart pendant.

Today I and my sister Inga made our first memory wire bracelets. Oooooh... it was so exciting and very very interesting to make them. It was not easy to stop making... Each of us made two bracelets:

Millefiori glass oval beads, black acrylic round beads, and black, and red glass seed beads.

And the next two made my sister:

Light blue acrylic round beads, light blue plastic piece beads, black acrylic round beads, black seed beads, Tibetian silver "Made with Love" heart pendant.

Black acrylic round beads, black seed beads, and acrylic round beads in pearl color.

We have used different beads from my stash as well as new Millefiori glass floral beads and acrylic beads. Also Tibetian silver heart pendants.
The most difficult thing was to bend the ends of the wire to make beautiful little rings. And I very liked the result! The next should be bracelets for my daughters.

Edited next day:
I was unable to stop and made two bracelets yesterday night and one in the morning:

Millefiori glass heart and oval beads, cobalt blue Cat's eye glass round beads, blue glass seed beads.

Clear glass piece beads, clear glass round beads, Tibetian silver Flower Elephant pendant.

Silver color Acrylic round beads, clear glass seed beads, and black acrylic round beads.

Making these bracelets is easier than making pictures of them. Exactly!

Have a sunny day!

A Rainbow Cardigan WIP

My Rainbow cardigan is quickly grows up, actually  it is almost done and I have to do uninteresting things - to make a few short seams and to hide a bunch of yarn tails. And and and.... I need to figure out a way of fasteners... Will it be ties or something else? I absolutely don't know! 

Here you can see the pattern I use as well as this Ravelry link. I slightly modified the pattern - I don't like to make any seams, therefore I made the lower section in one piece - left front+back+right front. Also I didn't make shoulders seams and sleeve seams.  Hope you understand me. Sometimes it is so hard to explain what I mean   :(
I think I will finish the cardigan on this week.
And below I want to show you a few bracelets I made for a couple of minutes using this very simple pattern.

This lovely 2mm satin thread I've used known as "rattail cord" I bought again via eBay.

I took the picture above a week ago watching a Balloon Rise from parkland of Tullynally Castle in Castlepollard.
 See you soon with more pictures from the Castle.

I wish you a sunny day!

With love

Bead's Fascination

 Just a few bead bracelets and a necklace I made for my sweet girls!
The beads I bought from eBay.

I am so excited to do a lot more beautiful  things like that, even completely forgotten about crochet and about blogging... hehe...  However I remembered how to knit and now I'm knitting socks for my daughter.

Edited after a few hours:   :))


One more bracelet! For Anastasia's friend!

See you soon.

Have a nice week-end! 

New bag

  My daughter asked me to make for her a small handbag heart-shaped... Of course PINK! To put there her braceletes... To take these to school... To boast... 

Попросила меня моя доченька связать для нее сумочку-сердечко... Конечно розовую! Чтобы класть туда браслетики... Чтобы носить их в школу... хвастаться...

That's what I get. Is ready one half of the bag, and I'm starting the other part. sorry for pictures quality   

 

Вот что у меня получилось. Половина сумочки. И я начала вязать вторую.

My daughter has different braceletes of course just as the many girls her age. 

 Most of all I like to make friendship braceletes or so-called "kumihimo". 

У дочки есть много всяких браслетов, так же как и у большинства ее ровесниц. Но больше всего мне нравится плести для нее браслеты дружбы, или так называемые "кумихимо". 

 It can be made with this disk. 

Делаются они с помощью вот такого диска.

 

You can buy the sets to weave bracelets for example here. 
And also this disk you can make themselves at home, with this I began to. 
See  here  and  here.
 
 Наборы для плетения подобных браслетов я видела здесь.
А можно самим изготовить картонку, с чего я и начинала, читая здесь:
 Кумихимо - японское плетение шнурков 
и просматривая видео как плести кумихимо.

 Good weekend to you!
Хороших вам выходных!
