Holey Moley!

Holey moley how time flies! I had no idea it's been so long since I posted anything here. Guess I'd better start writing myself notes! I have done a couple of things lately. One is this beautiful pair of earrings I just completed. I created these from a tutorial, Victorian Style Droplet Earrings by Abby Hook.

All's well.....

...that ends well they say. I didn't get to the Rings n Things bead show because Mother Nature decided we needed a snow storm. So, I buried my disappointment by going on line and buying lots of pretties. Most probably won't be in until later this week but I will take some pictures so you all can see.

One year anaversary!

One year later and still not smoking!!

One year, 5 hours, 37 minutes and 11 seconds. 7304 cigarettes not smoked, saving $1,187.01. Life saved: 3 weeks, 4 days, 8 hours, 40 minutes.

It's the first day of daylight savings time and I hate it. Not only that, it's about our fourth day of clouds and light drizzle, ugh. It usually takes me a couple of days to get used to it and it makes getting anything done that much harder.

I decided to make a few rings this morning so here they are. Back row is a Unikite and Adventurine, Adventurine and Pink Quarts, Red glass. Front two are, white Stardust and Sodalite, white Opalite and Faceted Hemitite. All are created using Sterling Silver wire.


In the afternoon I had to take our van to have the lift platform (handicap equipment) worked on. The only place is Lenexa about 40 miles north of us. On the way back took a side trip to the Olathe Michaels to use a gift card my daughter gave me for Christmas. Spent more that the gift card of course. But it was fun! Can hardly wait for the Ring n Things trunk show the 20th of this month.

A Tale of Two Bracelets

Back in 2003 I made this cuff style bracelet and sold it on ebay. After a few years and a computer breakdown I only had a couple of small photos of it and wanted to make another one. The buyer and I had remained in contact over the years. Last spring I contacted her, told her what I had in mind and asked if she could possibly send some good size photos so I could see the details. She said she would see what she could do. A while later she wrote me back and asked what I would charge to put a nice clasp closure on the bracelet. She had put one on herself but didn't really care for it. Anyway, seeing a great opportunity I told her I would love to do it and would only charge for the return shipping .

To make a long story short, she sent the bracelet, I made the clasp AND got my photos. Below is the bracelet I just completed thanks to my good friend Ms. P!
