Finding a home for the broom and beading

Today, I found a place where my broom making skills could be displayed..
on the stairs which lead up to the bedrooms, this also serves a dual purpose of filling a bit of an awkward corner too..

So I am pleased with the effect.
I also made a necklace and earring set for myself, using the new Swarovski crystal pearls in fluorescent pink.
I decided to bead these into a star shape and the earring dangles will hang nicely onto some silver long kidney wire earrings I have already.
I like these as I can change the dangles whenever I want to mix and match.
