Merry Christmas!


I made beads for a bead order tonight (I'm so glad I can get them out tomorrow!) because I was...ALONE! The engineer took 4 kids (3 of ours and a neighbor) to see Avatar and I stayed here to do beads (very nice of him, I think - of course, he wanted to see it too, the geek!). I'm very glad I got them done. I was cruising through some blogs and saw that Heather (of Humblebeads) suggested one might want to have a glass of wine in the dark with the tree lights on (or something very close to that idea!) and so that's what I decided to do for a few moments of me time! I then decided I needed to take a photo of the tree to see how it would turn out. The tree is actually so beautiful - it is perfectly shaped. What luck! Then of course I decided I better post the photo to the blog because I think I'll be pretty busy tomorrow! So there went my alone time with wine in front of the tree in the dark with the tree lights on. But isn't it purty? Have a wonderful Christmas, everyone!

Thanks for sharing your tree with us! I will make it my surrogate tree for this year - we don't enjoy chasing cats out of the tree, so we didn't put it up this year...I still feel Christmas-y, but it's weird to not have decorations up :o)

Merry Christmas, and I hope you enjoyed the evening to yourself!

Funny! When my BooBoo was a kitten, she would climb the tree and actually pull it over - we had a fake tree for years! I used to love just watching the cats sit under the tree - they loved it! I really need more cats!

The tree is beautiful, perfect shaped. We lucked out too! It's absolutely perfectly shaped-you'd think it was artificial!
I hope to get the kids to be early enough where I could enjoy a glass of wine sitting sitting in my livingroom illuminated only by the Christmas lights..Have a wonderful Christmas Holiday.

Well, sometimes downtime is just what the doctor ordered. Hopefully this will recharge you and get you through all that needs getting done.

Happy Holidays!

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.

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!
