New Beads



Just listed some new beads in the SueBeads etsy store - I'm on my way down to the ccccold basement to make some more for some orders!

I'm sorry to say that, last night, there was a shooting due to a parking space fight - a man shoveled out a space for his girlfriend and someone parked in it. A fight ensued, the police came, and the man who shoveled took a shot at police. Luckily no one was hurt or died. It's getting ridiculous out there! Katie Nelson posted on my facebook about other cities who do the parking chair thing, so it's not just Pittsburgh, but boy is it nasty!

The beads are SO pretty! And, that's awful that something like that could happen over a parking space...I know it's been a long, cold, and snowy winter but that's just crazy!

I guess maybe that's the winter version of the crazies...In the summer (especially down here), if it gets too hot for too long, stuff starts to happen because the heat makes tempers flare...

Can't we all just get along?? (I couldn't resist...)

How awful! But your beads are pretty so I am just going to look at them and pretend no bad stuff happens in the world.

Wow, a shooting over a parking space. We've definitely got some loonies around here. Your beads are looking so good. Hope we don't get too much snow soon and things warm up a bit.

The new beads are delicious!

I hate the snow, so I could understand getting over a fight for having spent all that work into removing the nasty cold white stuff for a significant other and then have some swoop in. Would I have shot at the police and ended up in jail... probably not... but it's a good thing I don't have a gun to find out. Eek!

Bead Soup Blog Party!

Today is the day of the big Bead Soup Blog Party reveal! Lori Anderson, the wonderful host of this event, reported that there are 362 participants this year! That's a lot of blogs to look at. I will try my best to get to each and every one, but it may take weeks! My partner was Laura Zeiner from Stick Lizard Designs . She has a lot of talent, that girl. If you recall in my previous post , she sent me these beads: And this is what I made: I love love love the focal she sent me. It's gorgeous! The lack of sun here in Pittsburgh does nothing for this rock! The colors and crystals are beautiful! I had no idea what to do with it, though, and I pondered for quite a while. I decided to make links with 18 gauge copper wire and think I did an ok job at it. I'm sure there are some better ways to do this, and I'd love to hear about them. I'm just really starting to get into the world of wire and so my skills aren't that great. In any event, I made some beady links ...

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 ...
