Encased Florals

2009-09-25T07:57:00.000-07:00

Woohoo! Last weekend I got really serious about learning how to encase beads. I made several encased florals and can't believe that it finally clicked and I GET IT! Yeah! I bought a terrific tutorial from Kandice Seeber of coloraddiction that was a wonderful help. She makes the most beautiful beads. I hope one day to be as talented. :) So anyway... here is one of my beads. This weekend I am going to work on taking better photos. They all seem darker and less clear lately. We shall see how that goes. Have a great weekend.

Cruise to Alaska - Westerdam - August 2009

2009-09-21T12:38:00.000-07:00

I am finally getting around to posting a few pictures from our cruise to Alaska. We went on Holland America's "Westerdam". It was a great trip with a lot of pretty scenery. The ship left Seattle and went through Glacier Bay which was unbelievably pretty then on to Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan and Victoria. We went on a whale watching excursion in Juneau that was really great. We booked it through the cruise line and it was kind of pricey but I think well worth the money. We first went to the Mendenhall Glacier by bus then on the boat for the whale watching and then to a cabin on an island and had a terrific salmon bake. It was just a great day.
In Sitka we walked around the little town, went to a really pretty little church and walked through some of the rainforest looking at the totem poles. It was a pretty little place. Somewhere I would like to visit again. There were warnings in the woods about bead sightings which was a little scary.
In Ketchikan we got off the boat and were just going to walk around town but it was raining and cold and windy so we got on a bus excursion that took us around and then to a totem pole park. We saw salmon swimming up stream and a place called "Dolly's House" that used to be a pretty popular stop for the men in town. It ended up being a nice day and quit raining.
We went to Butchart Gardens in Victoria and it was really pretty altho we saw it after dark. We also didn't have much time there. I got a few good pictures of flowers that were under the lights.
Saw some of Seattle the day before and the day after our cruise. It is an ok place. We rode around on the bus and train system and walked alot. I don't think I would want to necesarily go back. I did really want to buy some of the flowers in the market but didn't. They were sooooo pretty and SOOOOO cheap. I should have done that. Oh well.
Overall it was a good time. It was great to spend time with my hubby and my mom. I think we will go to the Caribbean or Mexico on Carnival next tho...

New Beads on Etsy and Artfire!

2009-08-12T12:40:00.000-07:00

I have been busy lately with family moving in and getting ready to go on vacation (WOOHOO) and work and just everyday life but have managed to make a few beads and list them. Here are a few pics. I also did a little teaching for the first time on Sunday and my "student" did a terrific job and I added a picture of her beads too. The last picture is of a pair of socks that I knitted (my other current passion). Have a great day! Pam

Bead Crochet Brilliance by Sylvia Kubilus-Elam

2009-07-08T06:55:00.000-07:00

I want to share with you a creation by fellow Etsian Sylvia Kubilus-Elam of beadacious1221. She bought one of my "Crocodile Rock" beads and created this stunning beaded necklace. She has an awesome collection of creations in her shop as well.

I will be creating new "Crocodile Rock" beads in the future so if you want a necklace like this you can buy my bead and commission Sylvia to create one for you. I know that she has more of my beads as well so she will probably be listing more soon. Keep checking back.

Here is a link to her blog with more pictures of the necklace... beadacious1221.blogspot.com

New Stuff on Etsy - Interchangeable Pandora Style Earrings

2009-06-09T15:45:00.000-07:00

I have new stuff in all of my shops. I am selling new interchangeable earrings. They are sterling silver hoop earrings that have bali beads then you can buy the beads separately that would match your wardrobe. The cool thing is that you can buy pandora style beads and wear them on your bracelet as well as on your earrings. You can also put small hole beads on the earrings. I have those for sale too. I wore my earrings to work all last week and got numerous compliments on them. So go check out my shops for the info. My Etsy store has the most, Artfire next and there are a couple of pairs of already made ones in my 1000 Markets shop. Here are some examples. If you have any questions just let me know. :)

Graduation and New Beads

2009-05-27T04:37:00.000-07:00

Hi.. My oldest niece recently graduated from high school and altho I didn't get to be there (they live in a different state) I did get some great pictures of her and my family. I sure do miss them and am really really proud of my niece. She is going to go to the local community college this fall and I am sure will do really well there.

Here are a couple of new bead sets on Etsy.

Stuff in my yard and a pair of socks that I knitted.

Block of the Month Quilt

2009-04-27T12:39:00.000-07:00

I signed up for a block of the month club through "The Buggy Barn". So once a month I get a new block to complete and after 1 year I will have a complete quilt. I have always wanted to do this and saw this pretty quilt so decided to give it a try. It is a lot of fun to get them in the mail and easier for me because I am not so good at picking out the material. I have the second block sew together and now just need to embroider it. I will post them here when I get them done . :)
