Christmas Eve

Hard to believe the year is almost over!  My mother is going through Chemo treatment so I have been going to visit her when she gets the treatments.  My husband and I put up a tree for the first time in a long time.  So beautiful.  I hope to relaunch my website in the first 10 days of the New Year.  I am trying to decide about starting an ETSY site.  What do you think?  I have enough to do with two jobs and trying to get my business going in one direction. Well I wish you all a wonderful holiday season and look for the next Bead Soup Blog Party!

Great Giveaway by Beads of Clay

BEADS OF CLAY ORGANIZATION is having an unbelievable giveaway, check out their website.  They have a wonderful website by many talented artists.

I am going around visiting the various Bead Soup Party blogs but I get about 3 a day visited because they all have such interesting things on their sites that I get side tracked going to the etsy sites etc.  What fun!!  Try it.

Bead Soup Blog Party

Hi Everyone!
Here is what I made from the wonderful things my partner sent me.  Most of these beads and the focal Line made herself!  The first picture is the whole finished necklace.  I decided to make one necklace and I have an idea for some different adds to it that I will post on October 1st.  I think you will want to come back to my blog just to see the attachment.


Here is the cute frog clasp she sent me.

 I wire wrapped the pendant Line made out of clay and added one of the beads in the middle.  I wanted to tie in the silver with the clasp.

I love the different textures she got on the focal.  Visit her blog to see what Line Labrecque did with the beads I sent her.

Bead Soup Blog Party

I am very sorry I wasn't able to post on time.  My mother is very ill and I had to go out of town to see her.  I am headed back home now and I will be able to post the pictures on September 21st in the early evening.  Please check back then.
