I was on another blog this morning and saw the fish and I just had to have one. You can find this and more at aBowman.com. How great is this.

I am working on a pattern using RAW. I really had not done it in a long time so it took me a while to remember HOW to do it. I have the bracelet its self done I just have to figure out what embellishments I want.

Been busy since Abbey

2009-11-17T16:12:00.001-08:00

Trying to stay busy and keep my mind occupied, been making several new patterns and kits for the holiday season. Went back to Etsy in hopes of
generating sales as well.

Survived the Nor'easter we had here in VA. beach. some water damage, and siding blew off. still waiting for insurance to kick in

Until next time

Our beloved Abbey girl is gone!

2009-10-20T05:31:00.000-07:00

My heart is still hurting because we lost our beloved Abbey yesterday, She had been pretty sick, and she had stopped eating and drinking for several days, I guess it was her way of saying I am done with the fight, please let me go. It was the most difficult decision to have to make, and I hope I did the right thing. I have to believe I did but I will always doubt myself and I pray I do not do it again. Her brothers and sister seem to notice that she is not around, they keep looking for her in her favorite chair, wondering where she is. I don't know if they realize she is gone yet but they do notice an empty spot,
A friend of mine made a gift for me to post and I appreciate it so much

Until next time
Sue

Having Fun making these

2008-11-22T16:35:00.000-08:00

I subscribe to Beadwork mag. (among many others as well) but this months issue Dec/Jan 09 is fantastic. There is an article from Phyllis Dintenfass about her triangles and geometirc style
She offers a pattern for the Triversable Earrings that is fantastic to make. I made mine into pendants because I don't wear earrings, only small ones.. but a necklace is more my style.
Thank you Phyllis for this fantastic pattern.. it is so easy to do I just love it.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving

Sue

Glass Pendents

2008-09-18T14:03:00.001-07:00

Just got these done over the last couple of days. I purchased a kit from Annie Howes Glass Kits and made these 6 necklaces. I think they turned out A- OK.. and I have them available to purchase up on my ETSY shop http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5874602 . There are 6 available (1 of each) and there will be more coming soon.

This breaks my heart

2008-09-18T14:03:00.000-07:00

I am a huge defender of Wolves and Wildlife, This just breaks my heart to see this ad and to think she could be in the White House. I know we should not talk about our politics and she does not have a defending response but I felt I needed to put this on my blog, I don't know who I am voting for this election this may make up my mind. Sorry for the tirate, but this makes me very angry http://actionfund.defenders.org/palintvwolf

I am honored

2008-08-22T16:11:00.001-07:00

I made a treasury today for one of my bracelets. Spirits Flying.. it is such an honor and Carol I thank you.
I work hard to make my designs originial and have learned from some of the best on how to do them, so this is theirs as much as mine..
Thank you again.
