Acorn Beaded Necklace

I bought this great acorn bead on etsy or ebay, and design ideas have been swirling around in my head ever since. The main necklace is crocheted and has taken forever to finish, but it looks quite nice, and the acorn pendant part was finished up today. It hangs from an even-count peyote bail. It was made to fit over my head for strength, and for ease in wearing.

Baby Sweater in Red

This is the cutest thing imaginable. It is an Elizabeth Zimmerman pattern for a baby sweater, and is knit with less than 2 small skeins of merino sock yarn. I had the buttons and they are a perfect match! The only bad thing about this baby sweater, is that it is not superwash, so I will have to be careful who gets it.
