I'm in another treasury! Ileana of Enchantedbeas included my Night Waters No. 1 cuff in her beautiful Tea Time! treasury. Thanks Ileana.

I was in another Treasury

I'm a little slow posting this because of the holidays but I was in another treasury. The treasury has expired but it contained beautiful black and white pieces. Thanks Rita (alatsupplies) for including my Crazy Wavy Necklace.

Another Treasury

I haven't had any new items to show off, but I'm in another treasury! MaryTDesigns included my Rebel Bride cuff in this beautiful treasury. Thanks Mary.

Pearly Grey Treasury

I just discovered that my Night Waters No. 1 freeform cuff is featured in a beautiful treasury by windyriver. Here is Pearly Grey treasury.

EBW October Challenge

The theme for the EBW October challenge is Super Power Jewelry. I didn't come up with an idea but several members of EBW did. Here are their great entries. The voting is from Oct 9-15 on the Beadweavers blog.

My Personal Challenge- Friday and Saturday

My lay-off week is over. Posting everything I created this week helped me feel like I really accomplished a lot -even though I didn't finish as much as I had orignally planned. I'm back to work on Monday so I won't have the time to be taking pics and posting everything like I did this week. I do have a few more pics left from this week.




I started another People Pin and
experimented stitching a freeform peyote chain into a knot for a necklece.












I'm still not convinced I like the colors in my needlepoint piece. Here's what it looks like after my meeting.





And the best part- I found a pair of earrings I had made to match my Night Waters No. 2 cuff so I had a piece to list on Etsy!

Personal Challenge- Wednesday and Thursday

I'm a day behind posting my accomplishments for the week. Bob and I went to the Baltimore Museum of Art in Baltimore, MD on Wednesday and to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA on Thursday. I was afraid there wouldn't be many flowers at Longwood since it's now officially Autumn here but I was pleasantly surprised. The entire garden was in bloom! We both enjoyed our day trips but I didn't have much beading time.

I can do some simple beading while riding in the car so I started a free form peyote necklace. Here's what I have done so far. I've decided to try putting the catch in the front and put some sort of dangling fringed embellishments on the ends. The shop I started putting my pieces in wants recycled-repurposed crafts so I'll see what odds and ends I have to use as embellishments.


I did finish the fall colored bracelet I started earlier this week. The button and most of the embellishment beads are recycled. And I made 2 more snowflakes.






When I finally got a chance to catch up on things yesterday I found one of my free form cuffs in a treasury made by enchantedbeads, one of my fellow EstyBeadweavers. Thanks Ileana.

I was in a Treasury

I'm a little late posting this. The treasury has already expired, but I'd still like to thank dorothydomingo
for including my Night Waters No. 1 in her treasury. I really appreciate it when someone who is not an EBW member likes one of my pieces enough to include it in a treasury. Here's what the treasury looked like.

My Prize

Earlier this month I won the FHF team Anagramathon Treasury drawing. I followed their clues through the treasury and at the end posted the 2 pieces I liked the most. They had a random drawing and I won! I was shocked since I never win anything.
My prize is this beautiful set of lampwork beads by Jolene of Kitzbitz. Fortunately, the colors I wear the most are blue and black so I'm keeping them for myself. Now I just need the time to create a great piece for myself.

I'm in another Treasury!

I found my Rebel Bride cuff in a Treasury created by fellow EBW member Kraftymax. Thanks Kraftymax! Here's EBW Red White Blue-

I'm in a Treasury

I just found Night Waters No. 1 that I made for the April EBW Challenge- Time Machine in a Treasury on Etsy. Thanks PRPs Treasure Lighthouse for including my piece in your great looking treasury.

Custom Pieces

I'm WAY behind in posting since I wanted to post at least every 2 weeks. How about once a month ? :) I just finished some custom pieces and sent the pics off to my customer. I will list them on Etsy even if she doesn't buy them. First is a copy of the necklace I used for my Etsy banner and matching earrings.































Next is a custom length of my Blue Multi-Strand Necklace and matching earrings. The earrings are a clip-on version of my Team Colors Earrings.

Salmon Run Cuff

Wow- it's been a month since I last posted! So much for trying to post once a week :) I taught my rescheduled Crazy Wavy bracelet class last week. I had 6 students (which is about all I can handle) and 5 bracelets were finished by the end of class. I thought the class went well and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

I've been busy but I managed to finish a cuff. Since I hate coming up with names and doing the Etsy write-ups I asked Bob for some name suggestions. He came up with Salmon Run. Here's a sneak preview of Salmon Run. I'll list it on Etsy as soon as I get the pics touched up and the write-up done.
