Awesome blogs and great sites. Going Nautical With Tropicali from Cousin. If you are looking for a fresh look for your summer social get-togethers,. Tropicali line is right up your alley!

Here are a few pieces I've created that should light your creative spark as well. The second piece I made is a bracelet using the silver buckle closure with the coral and blue rope:.

Awesome blogs and great sites. I've been asked how I get my loops to be so circular, so I put this tutorial together to show you (click on pictures to enlarge):. There it is - pretty simple! The key is in the right angles and the 'stretching' of the loops. Etched Copper and Brass Tutorial:.

Backstory Beads: January 2015

A Time to Stitch 6 Reveal. The challenge Christine Altmiller. Gave us for A Time To Stitch 6. Was to follow a chart and use one of four stitches (peyote, square, RAW or brick) to create a three-dimensional design. As someone who is severely chart-challenged (this may rise to the level of a disability), I took the plunge nevertheless, because I’m always. Next, I needed a graph. Despite the fact that Cath Thomas has generously done the work of estimating sizing and providing free peyote graphs. The model's...

Sunday, June 22, 2014. Breaking From Tradition - Some Previously Revealed, And Something New. I want a tutu. And some kick ass boots like these girls. That beady superhero, Cynthia Machata. Sent a group of her friends some really cool howlite spikes and said, "Go forth, and play! These were bold gemstones. Large, double holed, and gently squared off. Below is a pair of the black spikes, although I got a mix of black and white spikes. But here are a couple of pictures:. It's a deceptively simple pendant t...

Friday, May 1, 2015. I have been bad.no posting! We have been busy though! When we want to hit the road for a quick get away Madison WI calls our name. A short drive and we both have lots to keep us busy! A favorite shop to stop at is Meant To Bead in Sun Prairie. Last time there I treated myself to a class. Blooming Buds is a quick fun bracelet. Renee was so gracious and fun to meet. I have made a couple more of these for the store. I need to mention my Angel. I turned around expecting to see him back.

Tuesday, January 27, 2015. There have been some posts lately about what do we really need to be happy. A year ago we adopted Marley from a family too busy to really have time to take care of him. What joy he has brought to our home. Yes, he wanted to eat the cats. They are all now friends. Give him a truck ride with a hamburger kicker. Throw the ball and remember the treats. He's a happy dude! So thank you Marley for making us laugh and smile. You are a keeper! Links to this post. Wow did we eat good.
