I received the ingredients for my BEAD SOUP in the mail today.

So very happy to have received these lovlies today from my Bead Soup buddy Krista at frenchelegantjewelry.webs.com.  She makes some beauties and she shared her stash with me. 

See...

Hmm - what shall we make?

All the colors compliment each other so nicely.

 What a lovely clasp!

And this gorgeous focal pendant.

Bling...that's all I can say...my favorite!

She even included this cute pouch to hold my complete piece of jewelry I create.

Thank you very much Krista.  Your Bead Soup ingredients will be in the mail shortly.

It's Still Christmas Time

Hello my good friends!

I've been away but I must tell you that I still have Christmas in my heart.  I love this season and I just want to share this video with you that I found at mylifeunderthebus's blog.


It made me so happy when I came across it...I hope you enjoy it too.



I will be buckling down this week and getting some of those projects done- finally.  Take care everyone.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Hello Friends!

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this beautiful and blessed Christmas season.

I'm doing well, still busy with work.  I should be done by mid week so I will be very happy and able work on  few gifts for my sisters and nieces.  Also wanted to let you know that all of you have been an inpiration to me as I have had to shelve my decorating.  This little guy and  baby Jesus, was one of my first ceramic projects.  They actually stay out all year - I leave it out because we have alot of little visitors and it often is a piece of converation and a great opportunity to give them an explaination about our faith.

Happy Saturday!

Just wanted to say "HI". 

Here are few pictures for you.  Enjoy.

I got these three sweet little guys at the BABE Bead Show.  Actually I bought a whole lot - the lady selling wanted to just get rid of them. 

This was from my trip to Candlestick park.

And these I got at the Rose Bowl Flea Market in LA during the Spring.

He is in my studio - he keeps me company.

Things I am working on.

Glass button - pretty huh?

Just pretties.

More...

These button are very old and have remained very beatiful.  The Scapular heart is in very good condition too but not as old.

This is the stash I purchased for a song and dance practically.

This hummingbird is to die for.  The wing actually comes off.

Since I have no Christmas decorations to share with you I thought that you might enjoy seeing at least these.  Take care my friends.
