Have You Checked Out My New Blog Design Yet?

I know many of you have already seen my new blog design as it was launched a few weeks ago.  But if you haven't do pop in to see what's new.


The most significant overall change is the minimalist look with a lot of white space. The site is also now easier to navigate. But rest assured, the staples such as the blog archives that some of you use are still there.

Easy Pearl and Leather Necklace Tutorial

This pretty pearl and leather necklace tutorial by LoveMaegan is a study in contrasts. Pearls are so feminine and leather not so much.

It's very easy to whip up and looks elegant to boot.  She also has the earrings design to match.  There is plenty of options to customize the design - from adding many more than the 5 strands shown or altering the lengths.
