Getting crafty

Here is my craftiness for this week. I finally finished this crocheted beaded bracelet for my granddaughter's birthday. It was my first attempt at anything like this, and I was pleased with how it came out. I had never tried crocheting with beads. It was much easier than I expected. The most time-consuming part was stringing all of the beads on the crochet thread to begin with.

Here is a picture of the bracelet.

And another of the bracelet lying in its gift box.

I was inspired to embellish a t-shirt with some of the beads I had left over.

Wish I could take credit for making this gift bag. It's made of felt and isn't it cute? I got it from Avon, though.
