I started a jewelry beading class last week and here are the pictures of the 2 items I have made I am really enjoying it. It is hard to tell much about the necklace but it is made with yellow, red and gold glass beads

Thanks, it was easier than I thought it would be. I don't wear a lot of jewelry but I thought with Christmas coming I might make some of my gifts and possibly sell some.

The necklace took about 1 hr and the silver wrapped piece took about 1 1/2 hrs

That is not bad at all. Do you have flea markets or craft shows around there??

I have been making blankets and just started making beds that I take to the flea markets. There is a craft show coming but I have to wait until after the 1st of the year before I get to do that one. You might check into those as places to sell them. It takes awhile to build up inventory, but you can make some money out there. I have 3 flea markets that I will be doing before Christmas.

Yes, we do have craft fairs several times a year in different I was thinking I could do my treats and jewelry at the same time. My husband says I will be a jack of all trades and master of none LOL

I have all the new fabric arriving today, so as soon as I get it in, I will post pics for you. The other stuff that I sold at the flea markets, I never took pictures because I was just selling what I had made locally. But I have to make a large amount this time around and I have to have them all done in the next 3 weeks so I will take lots of pictures.

Yes, I would definitely check out the flea markets, but before you sell the dog treats there check their requirements. Some of ours will not let you sell homemade foods or treats at all.
