Been Beading...............

These bracelets are from Bead and Button magazine Oct 2008. They are fun and I learned cross weaving with 2 needles. My materials are less than stellar, but cute for costume jewelry and work up in a flash!

This bracelet is also from Bead and Button magazine. I started it here and finished it yesterday (along with the above bracelets) after not touching it sense. I love it and plan on making more in different color combinations. All this beading lately got started from those simple Xmas ornaments I was making.

My first Mosaic

Well, the picture is terrible. I took it with my phone and then forgot to get a good picture at the party. But anyway, Leigh is the (hopefully) proud owner of my 1st piece of mosaic. It was in her birthday gift bag from me. Ah, the lure of glass crafts. I'm hooked!!

:-)

Peace

Christmas is the busy season...........

I've went on a Xmas ornament bing last week. That was fun. Of course there will be more pics of other crafty stuff after the gift giving season. But there has been lots of crafty activity.

Attended the SIU Craft show.
Took a beginners mosaics class.
Got my last batch of fused glass from the SIU Craftshop kiln.
Tried to attend the Belleville Craft show (funny story).
Had the Shawnee Weavers Guild over for a Xmas potluck meeting.
Our Wednesday Nite Craft Club will be having a workshop this next coming Sunday.
Might do some more organizing in my craft shed today (its warmish)

:-) Peace
