Sick Sick Sick




Hi! I am so sick - this has to be the worst cold I have ever had. Really...I don't whine when I get sick! I've had two kids! I had a horrible hemorrhage after I had my daughter, lost half my blood and almost died. I've had cancer! I don't whine - but this cold is kicking my butt! So, even though I have some beads I really need to make, I just can't play with fire today, with my head this fuzzy. It would be stupid! So, I'm going to list some beads, take some photos, and make a bracelet for the Art Bead Scene February challenge. In between laying down and blowing my nose and drinking tons of liquids (my throat hurts SO bad!). We're supposed to get a snowstorm here soon. We are also supposed to go see Jack Hanna tonight, I wonder if he'll travel with this impending weather with all his animals? I would love for it to be rescheduled for a day when I feel better!

Sorry to hear you are under the weather. Take it easy and don't feel like you have to keep pushing. Put up your feet and let everyone wait on you. We, all women, don't get enough credit for how super human we are most of the time.

Does this mean I need to soak my beads in hand sanitizer when they arrive? JK! Sure hope you feel better soon - colds are the worst! The beads are great - especially that last set of rounds. Definitely my colors!

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.

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 ...
