Duckie Earings

I have a thing for duckies, of the rubber variety.  So I just had to make earrings out of these beads:

Are they not adorable??  Glass duckie beads--perfect summer fun earrings!

The day I made them we were working on putting up our pool--a yearly task that's made us consider more than once to put in a permanent one!  When I pulled out our duckie water thermometer I couldn't help but take these:

Notice the crazy temp: 103F?  Really?  No, it's the pacific north west, I've yet to see it that hot!  The thermometer was sitting in a dark plastic box, and we did have a sunny day (high 70s).

In the end I parted with these duckie earrings--we gave them to a friend along with these:

I do hope she liked them!  Now I'm off to make a pair or me and enjoy the Seattle sun shine!
