I broke my left ankle in 2 places on May 1, 2025
May 8, 2025: My computer is now set up in a spare bedroom so now I am able to daily updates. Since I do need help getting to my office and order processing area, in the basement, I am not able to process orders for at least a week or two. After June 20, I may only be able to get to my basement work area, 2 days a week. I am not sure how long it will be where I will need a lot of help to do what I do. I do know my ankle needs surgery, which is on Friday May 9, 2025. After that, I am not sure what will happen.

Crystal Beaded Brooch

This brooch is really crocheted but you cannot see the stitches. The top part is crocheted with beads in it, then the fringe is made last. It is a fun and somewhat challenging piece of jewelry to make but very rewarding. Of course, you can substitute any beads you like as long as the sizes are the same.
