Here's Something New!

Whenever I have leftover beads, I like to make useful things out of them! I really like making the purse-clip-backpack-charm-zipper-pull things! You can be creative with leftovers - leftover spacers, beads, etc. Here's a photo of one I made from a leftover bead of mine, and some czech rondelles and a celtic charm. I really like the colors! Hope you do too - you'll be able to find them in my etsy shop pretty soon, for little holiday-gift-stocking-stuffers!

Have a great weekend! We are visiting my friend Beth and her family for dinner tonight - she has half a cow to eat, and we're bringing the pie and corn from the farmer's market! I can't wait to what else she's done to her house - right now I think they are working on their deck. They do it all by themselves, too! Busy Busy!

Oh yes, and I want to say good luck to all the people in Texas who are dealing with Hurricane Ike. I haven't seen too much on the news about it, yet, I'm sure we will later when people can finally figure out what's going on. We're thinking about you.

This is a very cool idea, Sue! Very nice - that should sell quite well in your shop.

Yes, indeed! We are all thinking about those that came into contact with Ike.

I've wanted to do things like this with my extra beads, thanks for the inspiration!

Bead Soup Blog Party!

Welcome to the 3rd Bead Soup Blog Party! What is a Bead Soup Blog Party? Each beader was paired up with another jewelry designer and tasked with sending the following: ~ A focal ~ A special clasp (not just a lobster claw) ~ Some coordinating spacers or beads Using the focal and the clasp was mandatory, but we could use anything from our own stash to round out the rest, and choose to use the coordinating beads or not. You may recall my partner was Margot Potter ; click this link to see the blog post I wrote of what she sent me! Here's what I made! Dangly earrings! Come see what the rest of us made! 1. Lori Anderson, Pretty Things 2. Kitty Durmaj, Perles and Life 3. Michelle Heim, Life In the Bead Lane 4. Lisa Petrillo, Lucid Moon Studio 5. Anitra Gordy, Leelu Creations 6.

Puppies!

I just had to include this photo of my friend Beth's new puppies. They are 11 week old Jack Russell Terriers. The smaller one is the runt of the litter, but too cute. They are Libby and Lucy!!! Click on the photo to see them bigger!

Another quick post!

I know, I'm on a roll today. Even though I got a late start, I've made beads, made posts, done some scrabble tiles, now I have to fold some laundry and think about dinner. Just wanted to post a photo and link to the ebay auction of mine that started last night - I like the beads, they have a southwest feel and would make a fantastic focal piece in a bracelet, or a whole bracelet too! You can click on them to go to the auction!
