4 Marvelous Monday

YEP, it is Monday again!  

How does this always happen??  :~)  

What did you do over the weekend? 

I was busy beading and cooking!  I thought I would show off my dinners from the weekend. 

First is the Beef Stew I made, it was amazing, if I don't say so myself!  Yes, it is COMPLETELY homemade!

Then there was the Chicken I baked in the oven last night....

So yes, we DID eat pretty well over the weekend! 

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

But, I did get some beading done.... what do you think of these??

Both are custom order and just need some finish work that will be done today and then....off to their owners!  Today, more custom orders to work on.  I have several more that are ALMOST done, I'll also have a new listing for you tomorrow, I just didn't get time to get the photos done.

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

Now, do you remember the other day when I featured FantasyClay and her little Baby Fairy?  Well, I got him over the weekend and he is even cuter in person than he is in the photo... just look....

With all these little muses I collect it is no wonder that I have so many ideas and creations in my mind!!

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

Here are my hop for today.... please join me if you can!

For my closing thought I would like to have you think of the upcoming holidays.  What can you do to make just ONE persons life better?  Can you do it?  Are you willing?  ~KM

7 Wonderful Wednesday

Well, it is Wednesday and life is still wonderful!  I have to tell you right up front that I did NOT get a new listing done.  I did work most of the day on my Blue and White entry into the CreationsColorChallenge, but I didn't get a chance to get it finished.   The only photo that I have is the one from the start - my choosing the beads... I'll take more today, I promise!  With any hopes, I will also finish it!

Then there was this....

My Monster is my love, my baby and the child with whom I have the most conflict!  My oldest son, now in the military spent most of his youth away from my, so I didn't get to enjoy his younger years.  My daughter, Aye is my brilliant, beautiful TWEEN (for anyone who has one, you understand).  But my baby, my Monster, has some issues.  He recently started on new meds (for what doesn't matter) and they make him sleep about 12 hours each day.  So in the blink of an eye - actually a quick trip to the bathroom - and this is what I found!

In honor of my recent Sunset necklace I created this collection... what do you think?  It could use comments and 'stars'!

And they road off into the SUNSET

Today's featured artist is FantasyClay studio.  This talented lady has been using clay for about 10 years.  Like many of us, she does her art all over her house!  She let's her clay 'speak to her' and enjoys having her creations come to their own life.  You really must go see her work, which includes dragons, horses, critters and lots of animals.  Remember to please let her know where you heard about her! 

*oh, and this little guy is MINE, sorry!*
