Strawberry Fields

"Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see. It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out." - The Beatles

Strawberry Fields Jewelry Set available on Too Cute Design

We're Beatles fans, there's no denying it. Anyone who has had the pleasure of sharing a car ride with us knows so. For a while we've been thinking about a way of honoring the Fab Four in our work. After much thinking, nothing came to mind until we came across some strawberry charms on one of our local craft shops.

After that fortuitous encounter there was no more thinking left to do. Since Strawberry Fields Forever is one of our favorites songs, paying a small tribute to it was the natural thing to  do. Several yards of red satin ribbon later our Strawberry Fields Jewelry Set was born.

Tarantino Fever

Not so long ago, fellow blogger and crafter extraordinaire MissTat compared some of our pink jewelry to the work of Tarina Tarantino. Needless to say, we were flattered.

At first we didn't know who she was, but after some research we fell in love with her success story. Out of all her pieces, a cute bracelet featuring a felt ice cream cone caught our eye. We were inspired! The picture below shows her bracelet next to our crochet version.

Pretty in Pink

Remember that Knitting Nancy we bought? It's been put to good use! The first item that made us proud was the necklace shown on the left; later we came up with a matching bracelet and earrings.
