Gorgeous Sunday! The sun is shining and the snow is sparkling!

These deep violet beads are beyond easy to make and dangle with antiqued copper findings.  Sometimes just the color of a the bead and the transparent small size is simple and enough. 

These sweet treasure will be hanging out with some lamp work very soon! 

 

I must be running my blog on the NHL schedule. I'm back though and have a show on the horizon which will motivate me to produce and update..yes! Time management is difficult and jewelry making is something I dream about at night but not always doing at the moments I want to. Below are three lamp work beads I created that are rolled in frit. I was gifted a large ceramic bead...it was like they were all destined to be together and with coffee and the energy of a Sunday morning...they finally met..

I am still here...but I am having the worst difficulty with my blog. I am not computer minded to say the least and the photo option to upload pics has changed.  I am unable to upload from my computer but must now bring the pics of Picassa Web option...I have tried to do this and can not figure the dig darn thing out..
I am still making jewelry like a crazy person but it is less interesting without pics. I am going to either figure it out of change my blog...I will post with updates. I hope everyone is doing well out there and I wish happy computer functioning on you:)

 Merry Christmas and general happiness during this holiday season! I can't imagine a better holiday and I am so thankful. It is complete and I hope everyone is having a safe and joyous day as well. 

 Here some pics of outside in the freshly fallen snow as well as newbies from the kiln that have some blue hues and bright new color for the new year.

This bracelet is was fun to make. I imagine how it was going to look before I sat at the torch. I used a cream colored glass for the bodies of the beads and then swirled a variety different colors around each bead.  The colors are rich and of different shades.  These beads dangle with swirl on antiqued copper findings and metal beads.  This could be an every day bracelet or a treasure one of a kind piece.  Happy Holiday preps and December dreams!

So thankful....

Happy Thanksgiving ....a day early....I love this holiday because it is such good practice to be thankful.  It slows us down to just reflect on the  positive. I'm thankful for family, a cozy house, every detail about about my children from their excitement to come see me in the early morning to their teeny toes and adorable giggles...art..life...safety...little things and big things...our surroundings and a full heart for love for the amazing people around me.  I hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving! I will be running the Turkey Trot with my amazing brother tomorrow in honor of my Grandpa Al..this tradition is fully of people dressed like all things found on the dinner table as well as a bunch of other silly bizzz. We run to downtown and then celebrate and prep for a great day of turkey and family.  
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!

 The day started out with this...so gorgeous! I took a run and met the sunrise en route.  It only got better as they day went on.  We had an amazing family breakfast and enjoyed the warm temps.   I've done 3 shows in the last 2 weeks. Which helps me make and make.   I will be stocking and stocking etsy for the holidays.
