I so hate..............

trying to get a decent picture of these flowers. They are so 3-D that the only way they really look good for a picture is to have them finished and hanging. I had a customer ask me last week if I could make little trumpet flowers like the big ones I make so that she could make earrings. They turned out really well and I just love them. I have all kinds of ideas in my head for jewelry using them.

Some days you just ...........

have to make spacers. I really do not mind making them but man I hate cleaning them.

Happy New Year to All!

New Kit.........

Coming Soon.. I had an idea in the middle of the night last night and made up two today. I really like the design and so am going to be making up the instructions and ordering supplies to make the kits ASAP. I have all sorts of beads and color combos in my head so there should be a huge variety. Do let me know what you think.

Merry Christmas!

We are off in the morning for Omaha to see the kid. That is if the snow does not stop us. From all reports if we get out of here in the morning we will be ok as it is supposed to come in later in the day. At least they say the wind will not be bad which is what makes it the worst. Since I won't be on the computer much I wanted to say Merry Christmas to all. Have a wonderful holiday.

Julie's Creations

Julie Overbey from Omaha sent me these pictures of her latest creation. She used several of my poppy beads in bright oranges and yellows plus some seed beads to create this unique piece.
It really has lots of texture and does warm up the screen on such a nasty cold winter day.

Parts and Pieces........

of something new. I have a new necklace I am working on. Of course I am really slow when it comes to seed bead work so it is taking a while. At least it is nice and bright as there has been no sun what so ever to photograph the pieces.

New Headpins

Some new fancy glass headpins that are headed for Etsy through the night tonight. I have been going to make these for a while but you know there seems to be so many things I want to make and so little time to make them.
We had a nice sunny day out today and it was even pretty warm. Most of the snow melted. The stuff that is left is where it has piled up in the corners and along the house and trees.
Check out Etsy to see more images of these pieces.
Now I get to make some things with the ones I saved for myself.
