Warm weather calls for...

So let's see this to me I'd say calls for food, friends, beach, sand and oh wait! Cute accessories to wear!

So let's start off with one of my favorites: choker necklace made of cotton or hemp(macreme). Then some earrings maybe an ankle bracelet or barefoot sandal and a couple of boho chic crochet bracelets and maybe finish it off with a cute flower barrette. Talk about bohochic cuteness!

yolandascreations.storenvy.comI believe that you can wear accessories that will play well in the hot weather. You don't want something heavy that's going to drive you crazy because it's humid outside and hey you know yourself if you're anything like me you will want to rip it off cause you're annoyed that it's hot and clunky and you won't want to wear anything.

Well I can tell you that my style of making jewelry has always been to make things that not only will make you look cute and relaxed but you can definitely wear it anytime of the year it just all depends on how you want to dress up or down your outfit.

www.yolandascreations.storenvy.comWhat I make I feel and believe in strongly it will keep looking cute and fabulous.  Here I am showing you a couple of crochet seed bead bracelets, a very chic pair of crochet earrings with hand sewn seed beads as well. All the key components I mentioned in the beginning to make your outfit.

I used Aunt Lydia's crochet thread #3/yarn for the earrings - which I normally find a variety of colors and thread size at Jo-Ann Fabric. As for the embroidery floss/thread for the bracelets I find a big variety at Michaels.

Remember hot weather doesn't mean no accessories...just find the right pieces that will work well with the weather.

Hello Sunshine and more...

I love how the color yellow looks ...it comes in a variety of shades and tones.  I personally like this yellow (lemon by Red Heart Yarn) that I got at my local Michaels store awhile back.

It's soft and just the right shade of yellow.  Mind you I know a lot of people have said the acrylic yarn is a bit 'cheap'...let me tell you something...no it's not! It all depends on what you are making and what it will be used for. 

Think about it if your making a pair of slippers ok then use the roughest acrylic if that fancy's you...but for something like this shawl/wrap that I made I did use Red Heart Super Saver and it was super soft. It could also be that the chain stitch pattern I used helped it stay soft and  airy.

Anyway, I also love to use the Sunshine Yellow cotton yarn by Lily Sugar'n Cream Solid Yarn. It's so bright and cheerful.  Again, trying to use different texture yarns and the same yellow family is awesome. 

If making something in a pretty yellow doesn't make you smile...well I don't know what to tell you 😉 but I will say this much...smile as you make your creations I feel it gives your creation a positive energy of nothing but smiles.
