Here are the two new listings that I finished last week!  I just love the way they turned out.  AND, I really think they are a 'step' above some of my other creations....what do you think?? 

 

And just what does it mean when I finish something?  I get to start something new!! I will be starting this morning on the 'second highest' voted Sliced Agate.  I hope you'll come over  to my Fan Page, Google+ Page, or my Instagram Page  were I post 'working' photos throughout the day. 

 

Last week I showed you what I was sent by my - bead swap partner Ms. Catherine and now I'll show you what I sent her.....well, actually, most of it!!  Here is BOTH of our mixes!!!  How lucky am I???  I can't wait to get started!! 

Today I would like to leave you with this thought;

2 Making Monday 3/16/15 (Mi Casa Cafe, Catherine's Musings and Bead Peeps Swap 'n' Hop)

WHAT A WEEKEND!!!  Spent with the family watching the St. Patrick's Day parade and then going to the Celtic Fest in St. Augustine!!  OH MY, talk about busy and fun!! The weather (sorry for my northern friends) was in the 80's and BEAUTIFUL!!  I didn't get any good photos, but I'll look through some my son took....maybe we'll find a couple!  

Last weekend I was down in St. Augustine for the Seafood fest as a vendor and let me just say that I have to thank my daughter again!  Not only did she help me with my booth (for 3 days) but she also found this amazing place right along the historical St George Street.  When we were (there was 6 of us) down there again this past weekend we stopped in the same cafe - Mi Casa Cafe - and just let me tell you......WONDERFUL!!  Last weekend they saved us - both in price and in GREAT food.  This weekend it was our oasis! Ms. Marnie and her 'boys' provided us with a cool place to rest our tired feet and some of the best food I've had in a LONG TIME!! I wish I had photos, but we were so hungry we dug right in....and ALL of us LOVED IT!!! And Ms. Marnie is a treat as well!!  As we sat....filling out "tummies with yummies" (a cute saying my son came up with) we had great conversation and then....the live music started....you really MUST make this a destination if you are in St. Augustine, Florida!

2 Frivolous Friday 2/13/15 (Bead Peeps Swap n Hop, Blue Beadwoven Bracelets and Pre Party)

I told you a little while back that I am going to be a part of the  Bead Peeps Swap 'n' Hop.

The partners were announced and I am luck to say that my partner is amazing!!  Her is her site if you want to check her out - Catherines Musings.  So, the next think (since we have introduced ourselves and learned a little more about each other) is to gather and send out the Swap.  I have to say, I am a bit excited about this one!!!  I have done this hop for several years now and this is the first time I am actually paired with another seed beader!!  This will be FUN!!!
