As
many of you know I have been VERY VERY VERY busy! Last week was the
awards and graduation ceremony of my daughter Aye. Talk about
emotional! Here she is - looking beautiful!
Since I am going to brag, which I just HAVE TO DO, here is the list of awards she won earned
(these are for the whole year).
A/B Honor Roll
A Conduct
Patrol Award and Trophy
Chess Medal
Reading Medal
FCAT pin (2 scores of 5 (almost perfect in Math and Science))
Then for this quarter she received
Perfect Attendance
A Honor Roll
A Conduct
Reading Award
Gifted High Level Award
So, do you think I should be proud???
OH YA!!! OH YA!!! OH YA!!!
And I wonder why I spoil her, with a kid that does this well, how could I not!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now, on to the 'beaded' things I
have been working on. I have been working like crazy to get this
wedding party set done for my childhood friends' daughter's wedding.
After having lost track for a few years we found each other through
FaceBook and I have the honor of doing the her daughters' brides maids
jewelry. They will be wearing a Burgundy dress with black sash, here is
what we came up with -
Aren't they beautiful? I have to
say, that they were a LOT of work! Each necklace has over 180 hand
turned Swarovski Crystals and each bracelet has more than 140! Talk
about 'labor intensive'!! But, I loved every minute of it. And NO,
none of them are the exact same. They were all done randomly and there
is a slightly different bead count in each piece! I just couldn't do
them all the same!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then there is the necklace set that I made for the Artfire Beadweavers Guild.
If you remember back in March my Celtic Suncatcher won the popular vote
(THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU) and I was able to choose the next
theme, here is what I came up with:
Vintage China has always been something I love to look at. Our work - beadweaving - was also VERY popular when this China was made. The theme will be - VINTAGE CHINA. It can be via the color scheme, the actual look and style reflecting China or even something that actually encompasses a piece of Vintage China. Let's have fun and enjoy creating our designs! ~KM
So here is what I designed - I
hope you all like it, the voting is between the 14th and the 26th and
I'll be asking you all to vote for me!!

In honor of my ABWG entry I want to feature this wonderful artist, CatnipStudio.
Some of her work is simply amazing! You really need to check out all
her sites! I just love this Cake Plate, but there are many more items I
found that I liked too! And talk about functional too! Go visit her
and let her know where you heard about her!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WOW,
you would think that would be enough... well.... See what happens when
I don't blog for two days?!?!? I also will be listing a couple more
new items this week for you all to see, they are fun and playful! With
being around all the KIDS at school over the past couple of weeks I have
been able to see the JOY that these kids see in life. Most of them
have little to no worries and are so carefree.....I wish I was that
young again!
Then I listen to the news.
Between the HEAVY smoke outside and the 98+ degree temperature with a
predicted 102+ degree with the heat index I think about my day, I'll be
beading INSIDE again!! What are your plans for today? Is it HOT where
you are?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And here is the hop that I am doing today -
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For today's thought, try to
remember the little moments, when years have gone by, it is those
'little things' that you will value the most! ~KM
