Snowman Christmas Earrings, Swarovski Pearls Crystals Holiday Jewelry



holidays christmas snowman snowmen handmade earrings

The "Elegant Snowmen" handmade earrings feature Swarovski crystal pearls and jet black Czech and Swarovski crystals - unique holiday jewelry for her.


If you’re looking for a smile inducing pair of handmade Christmas earrings, ones that are not over the top holiday glitzy but have more than a touch of extreme elegance, the ELEGANT SNOWMEN earrings are the perfect pair for you. And what elegant snowmen they are, looking like they are stepping out on the town to go to a formal Christmas event. Featuring snow white Swarovski pearls, sparkling black Swarovski crystal collars were added along with black crystal top hats. The main body of each snowman is made with two different sizes of Swarovski crystal pearls, the larger for the body, the smaller for the head. As you can see in the photographs, the pearl finish is exquisite, like a gowing mirror-finish. Because of the fabulous glow of the Swarovski crystal pearls, I had a hard time photographing the earrings since the pearls reflected the colors around them, including my silhouette and the sky. Rest assured, the color of the Swarovski pearls are a lustrous snow white.  To add a touch of sparkly elegance to the snowman earrings, gold plated brass squaredelles set with faceted jet black Swarovski crystal bicones separate the larger pearl from the smaller pearl forming a sparkling collar. Two jet black crystals are found on each side of the wavy-edged squaredelles.  Since all handsome snowmen need a top hat, the hat of each snowman was made from faceted jet black Czech crystal rondelles (the bottom part of the hat) and faceted jet black Swarovski crystal bicones (the top part). The black collars and the black top hat are just the right amount of contrast with the pearls for eye catching appeal.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the ELEGANT SNOWMEN earrings can be worn with any outfit, from very casual, to office wear, to your very dressy holiday wear (perfect with a little black dress!). These cuties will certainly become a "go to" pair of holiday earrings!

Christmas Tree Earrings, Green Crystals Handmade Holiday Jewelry Gift


christmas trees and snow holiday jewelry with green crystals

The "O Tannenbaum" handmade earrings feature artisan Christmas trees on copper and emerald green Swarovski crystals - unique holiday jewelry for women.


Filled with the magic and wonder of Christmas trees on a snowy day, the perfectly named O TANNENBAUM earrings will become favorite holiday jewelry for years to come. The beautiful one of a kind earrings feature artisan created, vintage look Christmas trees and snow charms and sparkling emerald green Swarovski crystals. The eye catching Christmas tree dangles look like they were cut from from old cookie or tea tins but they were individually hand cut, filed and sanded from modern copper. A permanent metal transfer was applied to the round copper cut outs and then sealed for years of wearing pleasure. The round dangles feature snow flocked green Christmas trees with three rings of snow and a slightly leaning snowball on top. The charms have a light aqua blue background with snowflakes falling here and there. The back of the Christmas tree dangles is smooth, shiny copper which will gradually gain a patina over time. Because the charms are made from copper, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.  Since all Christmas jewelry needs a huge dose of incredible sparkle, two sizes of faceted Swarovski crystal bicones were stacked above the Christmas tree charms. The color is a rich green called “emerald” which perfectly highlight the green of the trees.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the O TANNENBAUM earrings are a thoughtful gift for the woman who loves unique Christmas jewelry. “Tannenbaum” is German for “Christmas tree.”

  • Christmas tree copper dangles: app. 22 mm (0.86”) x 1.5 mm; artisan handmade by Helena Benkoczka
  • Swarovski crystals: faceted 6 mm and 4 mm “emerald” green bicones
  • Metal: copper and sterling silver
  • Earwires: sterling silver French hooks with copper bead accents
  • Length: app. 2.25” / 5.7 cm measured from the top curve of the sterling earwires

Handmade Kitchen Set, Hanging Hand Towel, Washcloths, Potholders





This beautiful handmade kitchen set includes a hanging hand towel, 2 washcloths, and 2 potholders. The hanging hand towel is knit from a pattern designed by me, Cathy Morgan of CraftingMemories1. It has a 3-inch loop and a button to attach to a stove or refrigerator handle. The 2 washcloths are hand knit. The 2 potholders are from a pattern designed by me, Cathy Morgan of CraftingMemories1. These potholders are crocheted in the Tunisian stitch making a close and tight stitch. Each potholder is doubled and then I crochet a border around the whole thing to keep them together and I crocheted a loop for hanging them.



I used Peaches & Crème 100% USA cotton yarn in the color Seaside. It is a mix of blues and greens. I also used Peaches & Crème 100% USA cotton yarn in the color White. If you would like this set in a different color just send me a message. I will be happy to work with you!



This handmade kitchen set would make a great gift for a bridal shower gift, Christmas gift, Mother's Day gift, or just keep it for yourself. I use my set every day and I love the convenience of the hanging towel., or just keep it for yourself. I use my set every day and I love the convenience of the hanging towel.

Baby Girl Dress, Original Design, 3-6 months, Gift for Baby






Dress your baby girl in this adorable sundress for casual occasions. I hand knit this dress, an original design by Cathy Morgan of CraftingMemories1, with pink acrylic yarn. This dress is size 3 to 6 months. The length is for a tunic but would probably look more like a dress on a 3-month-old.



The front of the dress has an adorable flower motif. The petals of the flower are made with bobbles. Bobbles are small round shapes that stand out a little more than the rest of the pattern. The bottom of the dress has large ruffles that remind me of pleats in a cheerleader’s skirt. The ruffle was the idea that started the pattern for a little girl’s dress. The other sections just seem to work well with the ruffle.

Thank you for any promotion!

Infinity Scarf Fingerless Glove Set Purple Sparkle Caron Simply Soft Party




Infinity Scarf Fingerless Glove Set Purple Sparkle Caron Simply Soft Party. The sparkles from the Caron Simply Soft Party yarn are so soft and twinkly! This hand knit infinity scarf and fingerless glove set are so soft and rich. The purple is a perfect shade of royal purple. This hand knit set is in the fishbone lace pattern and really elegant. Gloves are lacy and wonderful on the hands. Infinity scarf is a perfect length to wear inside your coat or double wrap (as shown in above pics) for a warm and snuggly neck warmer. It is so thick and soft, but with the twinkles of the sparkle it satisfies your "bling" needs. These are sold as a set and not as individuals. Infinity scarf is 50" around and 12" wide including the shell crochet edge. Gloves measure 7 1/2" end to end and 4" wide or 8" around. Gloves would be a small to medium size.

Baby Hat 3-6 mos StrawBerry Hat Red Dark Sage Leaves Caron Simply Soft. This is just too cute for words! Adorable baby "straw"berry hat is made with Caron Simply Soft acrylic yarn for easy care and it is just so soft and cuddly. Berry hat design has a leaf top with cute stem on the top. I used Red as the main color and dark sage green for the leaves and stem. Soft roll at the bottom allows adjustment of overall length and can be rolled up or down depending on style and size required. This hand knit baby hat measures 14" circumference and is 7" tall but roll makes it more like 6" (can be adjusted as stated). This should be small enough for newborn and have room for growth. - See more at: http://jazzitupwithdesigns.indiemade.com/product/baby-hat-3-6-mos-strawberry-hat-red-dark-sage-leaves-caron-simply-soft#sthash.OPlJ5Eg5.dpuf
