Here's Papa and Ayden before we went:
Papa was being funny trying on part of Ayden's costume :)

Here's Mason: ARGH!!!

The line in front of us at the zoo:And the line behind us:

70 pairs...

of petite earrings in the making:

Thanks to Tina for helping out with the daisy spacers!! Now I can continue making these for the M.O.N.A. show next month :)

Anyone out there....

have small sterling daisy spacers they would like to sell? Or trade? I'm looking for about 200 of the little buggers. Anyone????

In progress...

49 new cuffs: Getting ready for those holiday shows, you know :)

Mason has been here lots lately! Here's the single shot I got of the both boys looking my way:

The first...

of these little eclectic sets:

I think these are my favorites--calm blues and earthy greens. Yummy!

I got tired of the lentil press and dusted off the large pillow press for these two sets:

In sparkly blue and turquoise. I am loving turquoise this year, as I do every year. It just doesn't go out of fashion for me :)

Don't forget the Lincoln Bead Show is this Saturday at the fairgrounds. Come check out all the new stuff in person!

I forgot...

how much I like beading around cabs! This piece is titled "Feast of Love":

Named after the movie with the same title. In it, the wife wears a lovely piece of turquoise in just one scene like this one :) It will of course be made wearable with the addition of a long ribbon.
