A Little Something For Mom

Sorry for the layoff dear readers, 

I feel kind of like a slacker missing the usual 

Freebie Friday post but I have had zero time to research any fantastic giveaways this week.

School has seriously 

been getting in the way of my ability to craft. 

Deadlines demand attention 

leading me to 

smaller and smaller 

projects lately. 

But I did manage to find time to make 

something pretty this week

I had some assorted seed beads 

and 

these really cute "Mom" pendants 

just hanging around.

This is really just a variation on the 

chain stitch with beads I showed you.

The beads are pulled into the stitch in clusters

of three.

When you pull them together they make that cute 

scalloped look.

The necklace is super light and comfy for 

hot sweaty summers.

I decided not to use a traditional clasp

closure on this. 

I find in the summer metal clasps 

just feel gross when I get hot.

I used a glass bead crocheted into 

the beginning of the chain and crocheted

a small loop at the other end of the necklace.

Slip the loop over the round bead 

and Ta-da! 

You have a closure.

Now here's the best part!

Since I am not a Mom, 

I have decided to give this 

pretty darling away.

Would you like it?

Head on over to

learn how to 

make one too?
