New Listings

Hi! How's everyone's new year going so far? We went to see Tale of Despereaux today - it's not at all like I remember the book, so I guess I'm going to have to read it again and see what's what. Luckily, the first time I read it, I read it in one night. It was really cute and actually a good book, so hopefully it won't take me forever to read like books do now - for some reason, I can't get much reading done at night anymore - I can read 5 or 10 pages then need to go to sleep. Then, I can't sleep. But I guess that's another post.

In the meantime, I listed some more focals and some valentine beads in the etsy SueBeads shop today - take a look! The focals are certainly cool, but I am particularly fond of the heart I made, pictured. It's basically a ready to wear necklace, if you want, because it's strung on some beautiful black silk cord. The silver spacers are sterling brushed silver and the accent beads are so pretty too! The heart is only decorated on one side, so it shouldn't bother you when you are wearing it! If you want it, click on it!

Tomorrow, we are running up to my friend's house to see her two new puppies - little girls, Jack Russell Terriers. Hopefully I'll have some photos to show of them - from the pictures I've seen, they are too cute!

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.

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
