Halloween costume
So, of course, I wanted to wear my same costume as last year, but I still wanted to amp it up a little. So I made this belt yesterday. I call it my princess gypsy dream fortune teller’s utility belt. I wanted to add flowers hanging down in order to be a float. Maybe next year. …
what kind of artist are you?
I read this article yesterday: What Kind of Seed Beader are you? by Kristal Wick. Although it is meant for seed beading, I think it is easy to generalize to artists in general. So what kind of artist am I? The Artful Beader You create one-of-a-kind, complicated, out-of-the-box designs for the sheer sake of beauty. If …
100 things
I just read about the 100 thing challenge. I immediately thought of the two areas where my hoarding tendencies are barely held in check: my clothing and my craft materials/tools. So I did a quick inventory of my clothing. I have a book that is a visual catalogue of all my clothes. Perhaps it is …
new blouse
Here is my second outfit from my blouse from Kohl’s. I love it! I am wearing my Ann Taylor linen skirt with tiny pin tucks. Of course, but unfortunately not pictured, is my beaded satin shoes. I actually found several things I liked at Kohls. I got a little coupon emailed to me for signing …

birthday jewelry
April is my birthday and my friend Patti’s daughter’s birthday also. So when she came over she designed this necklace and I strung it for her. It is so cute, and I love the way she combined gold and red. We had a great time.
necklace
I did a whole lot of beading this weekend including this necklace, inspired by a Carol Kent bracelet that I saw at V’s. I was really struggling with these beads because they were so unusual and baroque. She used them monochromely and I realized that I really liked that. I had been trying to mix and match …
stalled
I desperately want to buy fabric but I’m broke after the whole birthday season, and prudence requires me to wait until my next paycheck to buy anything, or at least until S- lessons pick up for fall. I hate patience. So I think this weekend I will make jewelry and possibly this rug that I’ve …
now it is july
Now it is July and what have I done? Another month older… I made a lovely matching necklace and earrings set for my sister to go with the t-shirt I bought her. My new thing, I think, for Christmas is to buy shirts and make matching necklaces and earrings. I have finished all the squares for …
earring fun
Patty brought Jackie over and we had a blast making some earrings. It was so much fun do earrings with her. She just got her ears pierced for her birthday.
