Got a little restless the other night, watching a movie with my hands doing nothing, so I thought I'd try my hand at crocheting with beads/stones and yarn, instead of wire. Took the entire movie just to string the stones onto my yarn though, and only ten minutes to whip up this cute wrap bracelet, so I made a few more, without the stones. This one below that Miss Seven is modelling for me uses a croc charm as a button, and it's so adorably cute I'm going to have to make more!

I saw this pattern on Ravelry, and just had to get my hands on a copy of Vogue Knitting's Crochet Special Collector's Issue 2012 just to make this cute necklace. I like the fancy stone/plain cotton look they went with, but I thought I'd give it a go with this gorgeous rainbow silk embroidery thread and a plain river rock from my own garden. It just shows that even the most common, everyday things, can be pretty and magical if you look at them in the right way.
