I’ve been thinking about the beach lately.  It snowed here this morning (hello, bipolar TN weather – 74 on Thursday, snow on Saturday!) and we have been planning a trip to sunny Florida this summer to see my in-laws who just moved down there.  I’m dreaming of sandy beaches and beautiful weather while watching my three kiddos play in the snow.  I can’t complain, though, it’s been a very mild winter and this is only the second time it’s snowed this winter.  But I’m so ready for spring!

The La Plage bracelet (which means “The Beach” in French) opened my eyes to the beautiful jewelry findings that are out there.  I had never designed any jewelry before but thought a granny square bracelet would be really nice.  I love the Aunt Lydia’s Fashion 3 crochet thread and this Warm Teal color is my favorite, so I whipped up three floral grannies, put on a clasp – and was done!

This is such a quick and easy project.  I’ve designed several other crochet jewelry pieces since this inspired me so much.  Now I love to just peruse the jewelry aisle at my local JoAnn and see what I find next to inspire another piece!
