New in my Etsy shop today!

I have been trying to make more bead sets and not so many of the florals - altho they are soooo much fun to make. I have been adding new sets this week to my etsy shop. Go take a look if you get a chance. :) Thanks

Encased Florals - New in my Etsy Shop

I have been working really hard lately to learn how to make encased florals. I really love the way they look and have had a blast trying out new colors. My new favorite bead! Hope you like them too. :)

New Beads on Etsy! - Pandora Bead Sets!

Thanksgiving and New Pandora Beads

Hope everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving. I sure did. My husband and I cooked a meal for 10 people on Sunday. It was quite a bit of work, but we had a ton of terrific food and all the kids and grandkids were there. They ate so much that no one wanted pie before they left. I did get some chocolate pie sent out the door, but that still leaves me with two pumpkin pies and 1/2 of the chocolate. Hmmmm maybe that isn't such a bad deal after all. It is pretty dang good. I will have to put some recipes up here of all the goodies.

I did get to make quite a few beads over the weekend as well. I hadn't made any in a few weeks since we had been on vacation so I got over my withdrawals this weekend. I am slowly but surely getting them listed on Etsy.

Also this week is the BOGO 1/2 off EGA Holiday Sale. See the post below this one for all the details and the participants.

If you buy from me before the 10th you are entered into a drawing to win the EGA collection also shown in the next post. So hurry up and buy, it is a terrific collection of glass.

Psyche!

I made a few beads as a special order last weekend and here they are. I can make some for you as well if you want them. These are made with a glass called psyche. When it is done right they have a metallic sheen to them. You also get a variety of colors, greens blues etc. I got a little of the metallic but mostly the greens. One of the beads I made came out with all the dots metallic, I kept that one and am wondering how exactly I got it to work. I did try to recreate it to no avail. Oh well, I guess I will just keep practicing. :)
