0 Wacky Wednesday 1/29/14 (A New Listing, A New Project and A New Collection)

As I sit and watch the news and weather this morning I am really surprised at how this storm is effecting everyone!!  Here in Jacksonville Florida we are getting lots of rain and the weather is cold, but it seems like we have missed the worst again!  Just North and East of us people are literally stuck on the interstate!!  UCK, I might complain during the summer about the humidity, but I am so glad to be here now!!

I have gotten a lot of complaints from people trying to leave comments on my blog posts lately.  I have now switched back to the 'blogger' comments instead of the GOOGLE comments I was using.  Hopefully this will solve the problem!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today's newest listing is for the CreationsColorChallengeGroup.  I have not been able to participate in these wonderful challenges, but I am trying to make sure I get back into it!  This is a friendly challenge that ANYONE can do - it is just to keep you inspired!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you watch my fan page you'll know that last night my purple creation 'fell apart' in my hands!!  Yes, it was about 75% done and somehow a thread was cut....beads everywhere!!  So, I set that aside!  I don't usually 'give-up' so easy, but I also have a custom order to get done!!  Today I start on a custom flask.... come on over to my Fan Page or Google+ page throughout the day to watch it grow!!

Here it is..... a Just for FUN Give-A-Way!! ~KM

Give generously, for your gifts will return to you later.

2 Tantalizing Tuesday 6/25/13

What an emotional day yesterday was!  Anyone with children will understand what it is like!  But, anyone with a child that has special needs will understand the pressures that go with the way that others treat our children!!  My Monster seems to be doing great!! The wonderful leaders at the camp gave me a call last night to just 'reaferm' that he was doing a great job!  I am already so proud of him!!! Here he is - getting ready to go!!!

 And 'posing'!!

And then, on the way home I saw this... A SMART car - CONVERTIBLE - pulling a small boat (the Sea Du's Larger Uncle) and I just had to take a photo.  Now, I drive a Jeep Liberty which is a SMALL SUV, but my entire vehicle was bigger than this whole set up!!  I just HAD to take a photo!!! Oh ya, and we were doing 70...I didn't even know those cars could go that fast!!! :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is today's newest listing... it is simple and beautiful all at the same time!! What do you think???  And the fun....the clasp can be worn in ANY direction!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is the last photo I left off with P2 Row 258 - this is the final photo of Panel TWO!!! Today I get to start panel THREE!!!  And, remember, you can watch my Fan Page or Google+ page to watch this creation grow and see the story that goes with it,  throughout the day!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 So, I am trying to pick my next book to give a way, what type would you like???  Stranding, Clay, Business Help, Beadweaving, Basics or something NON Beading related???  Let me know in the comments!! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today I would like to feature: Coolstraps.  About 15 years ago this talented artist started making straps out of a need from her son!  Isn't that how many of us start??  And out of a gift came this wonderful studio!! I have to say that it was very hard for me to choose just one to feature...they were all so beautiful!  You also can easily see the quality and craftsmanship that has been put into each of these straps!!  I am sure that when you look through this studio you'll see something you like, however, if you don't she'll custom make something for you!!!!  Remember, always support handmade artists, we all create with love!!
