New Beads and Lots of Knitting Projects

Wow it has been a long time since I posted here. Lots of things going on. I have been trying to do some projects more for me lately than to sell so will show you some of those. I caught the knitting bug and also the tangling bug. I need to take a few pictures of my tangles that I have drawn but will probably do that later. Went on a cruise since I was here last as well and had Christmas too. Wow. I really need to keep up with all of this. So on to the pictures. :)

A lot of catching up to do 8)

It has been a busy summer. We did the usual yard work and running around the valley that we do every weekend. We also went back to Illinois and put a roof on one of our houses and visited with family etc. I am soooo ready for a vacation. We will be going in the not so distant future on our next cruise. The Carnival Dream! I can't wait. I have tried to make beads and list them but lately my work schedule is a pain in the rear.. I work days and nights both and it just messes me up enough that I have become pretty lazy. I still make the beads but listing them is sometimes just too much work. I have been knitting a lot lately. Making bags and mittens and cowls etc. The bags that I make have beads on them so round and round I go. I guess today will be a good day to try and make the beads for the bags that I need to get finished for Christmas. I have jury duty this week so that should be interesting if I get called at all. I have to call every day after 5 to see if I go in for the next day and if not then I have to go to work. I restarted my shop on Artfire so go check out what I have on there. Some of it will be the same stuff on Etsy. I just want to see if it will sell better in another place. I canceled my 1000Markets shop. They sold out to something called Bonanza that looked like yard sale crap so I didn't want to go there so I am listing that stuff - jewelry mostly- on Etsy as well. I will close with a few pictures..... :)
