More Great Sunday

Since I can only upload 5 photos at a time, here's the second part of the post. Here's a cute photo of the kids in the "Winter Classic" store posing in the funny hats they had for sale! You may know that the Hockey Winter Classic game is being played here in Pittsburgh on New Year's Day, at Heinz Field. Pens vs. Capitals. Can you guess who I want to win?

I was so glad I stopped in at Penn Avenue Pottery. The artist Tracey Seder Donoughe sells her wares there. I had a great talk with her and bought these fantastic beads and buttons! I think I may even take her up on her offer to learn how to make these beads myself!

I had a hard time only choosing 8 beads, but we had to leave to make it back to the museum. Her beads are just so cool! So earthy!

Finally, we went to Lidia's for dinner, and it was fantastic. The kids had a blast and so did Jason and I! To top off the night, the Steelers won over the Ravens!!!! What a great day!

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. Lori Anderson, Pretty Things 2. Kitty Durmaj, Perles and Life 3. Michelle Heim, Life In the Bead Lane 4. Lisa Petrillo, Lucid Moon Studio 5. Anitra Gordy, Leelu Creations 6.

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!

Art Elements April Theme Challenge - Repurpose

The AE Theme Challenge this month is Repurpose chosen by Lesley. Great subject, and I wish I had more time to work on it. The day job kind of takes away my creative energy at times, and this month is no exception! However I did manage to do a few things! The first thing I thought of for the theme was something I had been thinking about for a long time. I remembered I had this magazine that repurposed those desiccant containers you get in pill bottles into beaded beads. I set out to find that magazine in my stash. I'm glad I found it, because it was actually driving me nuts as to where it was. Here are some photos of me in the process of making some of these beads. So the first one I made, I liked ok. But noticed on the end that you could see the white container through the ends. So I got a sharpie out for the next one, and colored the ends so they didn't look so white. Then I made a few more of these beads, and quite honestly, I was done with...
