Stitch markers from Jennifer

My stitch marker swap had begun! First there was the arrival of these stunning markers from Jennifer. All I can say is WOW! Some close ups….

I just love that each set is on a different size ring and quite different in construction and yet they all seem to hold together too. I wish I could find such a variety of rings.

In other news I have been making a gazillion markers myself, both for the exchange and for a few other people I have promised makers too. There is a new set for me in there too, can you guess which ones?

You may have noticed a few of them are missing rings, I ran out of both sizes while making these last night. Jesse took the car to work this morning and the stroller with it, leaving us somewhat limited in our options for getting around, which forced us into visiting what may be the most expensive bead store in Sydney. I did buy some rings but they just weren’t big enough for all of markers. Getting the right rings seems to be my main problem with making makers. Hopefully I will sort this hurdle out tomorrow and be able to mail all the markers out on Monday.

Beautiful beautiful stitch markers!!! They are really really pretty!
I’m not used to using stitch markers, so you have to excuse my question… when do you use them?

Your stitch markers rock! Do have just about the best bead store ever near you, or what? Any online suppliers you’d be willing to share?
Thanks!

As they are all gorgeous it’s hard to pick your set…I say, the green tube beads with pink swirls and smaller pink beads on top of them!?…but then the fishes are too cute, and the yellow & blue…and, and……
