2 Terrific Tuesday

What a TERRIFIC weekend we had.  The festival was great, the weather for all 3 days was a bit hot, but very wonderful!  And Memorial Day was perfect!  Here are some photos from my booth!




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

And then I found out that I was included in this beautiful collection!!!


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

And then, there is this beautiful 'bead soup' I was sent by Bobbie at beadsongjewelry.  The challenge was  

Your soup must contain a focal bead or element of some kind, seed beads, and some coordinating accent beads. You do not need to include clasps, findings, needles or thread. A note to all: please make sure that you are sending out a soup that you yourself would like to receive, we want to be sure each person is pleased with what they get!!

The focal bead or element is the only piece of your soup that you MUST use. You can replace or add to your soup from your own stash at will.

So, here is a look at the 'soup' I was sent.
Isn't that a FUN bunch to work with?  Well, tomorrow I will be able to post photos of my finished pieces - I did a Necklace, Bracelet and earrings.  I have to say, I think that are AMAZING, so you'll have to come back tomorrow to check them out!!

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

For today's feature I found this wonderful artist from TheMudPlace.  With a love and passion for pottery throughout her life, she, like many of us found that the 'business' end of doing your passion full times makes is very hard to enjoy!  After some times is has come back to her love and just look at what she creates!  This is a Soup and Sandwich set that is just amazing!!  Please go check her out and let her know where you found out about her!

9 Terrific Tuesday

OK, so you thought that yesterday was my BRAGGING day, right?  

Well, only partially right!  

I get to BRAG today even more!!!  

First off, let me brag about my daughter!  Last night was her end of the year Chess Club tournament.  Between the 2nd through 5th grades there were about 250 kids in the tournament.  My beautiful, talented, wonderful, smart young lady took 6th over all for the 4th and 5th grade level!!!

 Even her teachers and coaches were proud of her!

 She was moving so fast I barely got this photo!

 And here it is!!!

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

So, I am very very very proud of my children, and here are some more things I am proud of.  First, this wonderful review from blessedelements - goinggreen.  She found me through a hop and things have 'blossomed' from there.  PLEASE go read her review, it is amazing!  She has caught all the 'little' things that I try to do.  From the detail in my work to the detail in my packaging.  It is so very wonderful to know that people who purchase my items actually notice my work!  It is about so much more than JUST beading!! 


This is the bracelet she purchased!!

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

OK, so you think that is enough?  

NOPE!!  

Now I get to the feature that Artbeads has done on me.   The last set that I did as part of the blogger challenge has made it to their Fan Page!!!  I can't believe it!!  I am so excited!!  Then when I get over there to check it out I find out that many of the people want to have me write a tutorial - I guess that might be next on my list!  I am just amazed as how many have commented and viewed it!!!  YA HOOOOO!  Here is the set we are talking about!!   

If you would like to read the original blog post, you can view it here - wonderful-wednesday.
