I spent yesterday making enameled beads - just in time for my 15% off sale in my SueBeads etsy store.

Hi everyone - Happy Thanksgiving! It's raining here - I wish it was snow! Oh well! Please remember to take 15% any etsy order by using the coupon code GOBBLE until Sunday midnight!

I got these bead caps in the mail yesterday, and had to enamel them! They are now my new favorite thing (today). I made these little dangly flowers out of them with my enameled headpins! I'll have some of the bead caps for sale soon, and the flower danglies as well!!!!

Here's a cute idea to use those fat little teardrop enamel beads I make. The obvious answer is to use the pair to make earrings - and great earrings they make! But if you want to do something else, how about a little dangle, or key fob, or whatever you call this!?!??! There are some listed right here , or just ask if you want some more!

Ok, it's only Tuesday, but I love that song by the Cure and wanted to show you this fantastic enameled filigree I made yesterday! I only have one - I have ordered more from my supplier but who knows when I will actually get them! I may have to hold onto this and fondle it and stare at it and caress it and ....

Jason and I went to the Steeler game yesterday, which was quite interesting. The refs really ruined the game, in my opinion, but no one asked so there you go. I took this great photo of the city from across the river, as well as some public art where we parked. I love public art. I like finding art surprises! There were other things there, but we had to get to dinner - Claddagh's at South Side Works. Nice place. All in all, a very nice day!

WOW - etsy FINALLY gave us the option for coupon codes! Use the coupon code GOBBLE in my SueBeads etsy store for 15% off your order until next Sunday!

Yesterday, I was blissfully making beads, minding my own business, when I heard an explosion that made me jump! It came from my oxygen concentrator, which then started grinding to a halt! I have (knock on wood) NEVER had a problem with it before, so I guess I was due! My friend Jason came over and figured out what was wrong with it (heat exchanger), ordered the part for me, and helped me set up the oxygen tank that I used to use before I bought the concentrator. There was some oxygen left in it, but alas this afternoon it is almost gone. I was hoping to get some enameled head pins done and may be able to tomorrow. The gas place is not open over the weekend, so I'll have to have fun (?) instead. Saturday consists of driving children all over the city, and Sunday I'll be at the Steeler game! Luckily there was enough oxygen for me to finish the order I was working on when the concentrator blew up! Tonight I'm going to take my son to see my daughter's high school pl...

I listed some enamel beads tonight, pretty nice if you ask me. If you are working on spring magazine submissions, I think tonight is the night for you! Check them out here !

Just about 3 weeks late or so, but finally...my "Copy Me" bracelet! Gaea, of Gaea's Ceramic Studio , had a little challenge and I was lucky enough to be one of the participants. Never mind that life has been getting in the way here recently...finally today I sat in bed and made the bracelet. Sat in bed to make it? Yes, I have been feeling rotten for a week now, and it was rainy and just a perfect time to sit in bed to do this!!! The ceramic beads are hers, and the idea was to take her bracelet and make it your own. Or not. Didn't matter to her! The ceramic beads are separated by burgundy miracle beads. Oh, all except one, if you didn't notice. I didn't until I took the photos. I'll have to go back and get that little fuschia bugger out of there and replace her with burgundy. Your time is limited, baby! I used antiqued copper chain and brass - the combo is very rustic and that's my style, so I like it! There are two sections of chain leading...

Look what I just picked up! Can't wait to look at it!!!

I listed a few more beads tonight. I know I have to get back into this blogging thing! Life has taken it's toll on me lately, but hopefully it will get better! In the meantime, check out the beads here !

I just listed some new beads in the etsy store ! Take a look!
