Fantastic Weekend!

Wow, I had a great weekend! On Friday, my friend Jason and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings, got wings and beer, and watched the Penquins hockey game. Can I tell you how long it's been since I did that? Practically forever! On Saturday, we took a road trip to Lucketts Virginia to visit that funky store I posted about on Friday, and a few other antique places. I took far too many photos but I thought I share a few here and there!Piles of cool stuff!
I bought one of these windows to hang on my deck wall!
Cool cool cool filigree!
Giant chicken. No, I didn't buy it (though my daughter wishes I did!).

After this store, we went to the farmer's market and they had the most unusual pumpkins I've ever seen! I'll show them next post! Then, you have to see what Jason bought for his house!

I think you should have bought the chicken! But probably the windows are better value for money.

I'm so glad you had a fun weekend!! You needed it. :) I love the windows; I probably would've ended up with more than one, knowing that I don't need any. :) Take care!

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.

AE Component of the Month - July - Scarabs by Me!

I provided the scarab beads for the Component of the Month Challenge over at Art Elements for July! And as usual, didn't take a photo of my own bead before I started working with it.  But here is the one I used - unfortunately, you can't see the lustrous oil slick colors of this black metallic glass because once again we have cloudy days here in Pittsburgh. I made a choker length necklace using spiral stitch and these awesome seed beads that go so well with this black metallic glass! I used hematite swarovski crystals to divide the bead stitching and the scarab focal bead; I actually ordered a pile of pairs of various black swarovski colors and decided that these match the best! I finished off the necklace with the ball socket clasp - it's a nice way to finish a spiral stitch - the size is just right and it's fairly easy to sew into the design. Please check out what our guests and team members made with their scarabs! And thanks to everyone who took par...

Bead Soup Blog Party!!!!

It's time again for the Bead Soup Blog Party, hosted by Lori Anderson.  I don't really know how she does it, she has health issues but keeps plugging away.  Thanks to Lori and to her husband and her helpers who made this work yet again this year! My partner was Rochelle Brisson from Sea Chelles Design on etsy, and her blog is A Creative Chelle .  I posted earlier about what she sent me for my soup: Usually I stress about what beads or components I'm going to add to the soup to make bunches of things, and I decided I don't really like that stress.  I wanted to stress a different way - use only what she sent me, other than whatever I was going to use to string.  I did a pretty good job, I think. I was inspired by a necklace I saw in a magazine some time ago, an assymetrical necklace that used the toggle clasp in the front for the focal.  The pretty ceramic focal hangs off the round part of the toggle clasp, in the front of the necklace.  I ...
