more petite pretties

Well, the pendant garden seems to be blooming this time of year as well. I have some bigger projects in progress so when I get impatient with those it is so rewarding to work on one or two of these. They remind me what it feels like to get something done. Plus they are really fun and cute and I sometimes can't believe that they ever make it to the shop shelves. It is so tempting just to tuck them into my own jewelry box.

I admit though, I have held on to a few along the way.

Here's another confession: I am trying really hard to resist my recent urge to learn how to crochet. I am loving all the brightly colored crocheted lovelies I've seen lately on flickr and Etsy. (go ahead and take a look!). Oh the temptation! I must cross a few other things off my "to-do" list, however, before I take on another hobby. What is tempting you these days?
