New Beadweaver's Challenge!

Etsy beadweavers have another new challenge--'First Ladies of Style'---and I entered again!

I made this bracelet and could not think of a good name for it---and that's not like me! But---one of my good etsy teamsters came up with a great name and it fit the challenge--

LocalColorist -- http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5003946 -- named it 'Gaia Goddess' , my daughters got together and decided that was a great name, and I agreed!

Voting doesn't start till August 9th--so I'm finished early this time---;>)

Check out all the great entries soon on http://etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com and vote for your favorite!

Some of my pixie collection-

notice, I said SOME!

I had to move some things around so daughter could move her stuff out, so i cleaned up these little guys, and moved them back. I probably have over 1000 different pixies, these are just a few of them- mostly Gilner, some handcrafted in the '50s to look like Gilner--

My very favorites are the large girl and boy planters on the top--

just thought I'd picture some here for posterity!

Remember JuJuBes at the movies?

just listed this summer jujube bracelet yesterday---no calories, either--

Taking a breath........

The last 2 weeks have been--well--crazy! Everyone here had some nasty summer respiratory flu, our younger daughter is having a baby, moving out ( can't lift anything, and i'm not supposed to lift anything --so guess who's lifting when baby daddy can't... me!) the twinnies started summer school, so that means picking them up and watching them more than normal, taking hubby to the doctors, helping other daughter with *stuff*--and trying to clean up around here, now that we have more than a path through the house--daughter had a LOT of stuff to pack and move.

After i just typed that, i thought---well, that's not that much! How come it was when i had to do it? and how come i'm exhausted? ;>0 I'm supposed to be retired!too old for all this, i guess!

I did manage to take some pictures today, between all the other stuff....
