It's Valentine

I'm not sure how I feel about Valentine. It's something we never used to celebrate in Europe before. Now it's the rave and a lot of money is going into it. We decided with hubby last year to stop 'celebrating' it, as all those bunnies and what not we always bought each other, end up being thrown away after a while anyway. And the Valentine flowers are the most expensive all year around!

At the bookrelay forum, however, I've taken part in a surprise Valentine exchange, and today we opened all our gifts. I got 5 great books from my wishlist, all paranormals, I'm so happy with them!

Here is a pair of earrings I made tonight, it took me only a few minutes to make them. Beading with wire is definitely faster than with seedbeads!

I/We have never celebrated Valentine's Day and I guess we will never do so. ;)

Hey, what are those reddish/brownish beads? Are these beads wooden ones? They look interesting and I like them!!!

Yes, they are wooden beads. As a matter of fact, I bought them as a necklace at a fleamarket (flohmarkt) in Germany a few years ago while visiting my parents. Now I had a chance to dismantle it and use the beads :)

Very interesting way to bend the hooks!
