The winnah!

...of the last EBWC- etsy-beadweavers 'Midsummernight's Dream' challenge is Smadar--

She calls it 'Roses in the Nightsky' and it's gorgeous and a great winner!

There were so many beautiful creations entered in this challenge- These challenges are just what the name entails----CHALLENGES --they make you think about what you can create and in the meantime, you --at least for me---come out of the proverbial box and create something new to you, and beautiful.

Please check into http://etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com and look at all the entries. You'll have to clean the drool off your keyboards, but it will be worth it! ;>)

RoadTrip Bracelet ala Jillian!

Just listed the bracelet I beadwove on the way home from Sacramento! This one, Jillian, the bossy twin, gave directions and 'suggested' ideas! ;>)

Here they both are - the first was named after jojo, my needleing buddy on the way up to Sacramento, the second-named jillian, who says 'it's BEADING, not needleing, jojo!' :>)

Have you voted?

huh, huh, huh?

I did!

Happy Sunday....

even though it's almost half over!

Had computer problems again last night---I'm beginning to think that this vintage woman is just not supposed to even be near a computer---aggravates me so much!

Last night I was almost finished listing a new goodie when the whole thing shut down on me AGAIN---after stepping away----calming down---I turned it off, unplugged and plugged the modem again, rebooted everything---I finally started all over again! So here are the little stinkers that I was in the midst of listing! Their an adaption of an adaption of a picture......;>)

I'm still here!

Although, the twinnies were over tonight, and I think they had way tooooooo much sugar today! They had different orders for dinner---french toast and toasted cheese---carbohydrate twins! We settled, after much, ah......discussion....on French Toast!

I still haven't cleaned up after them, although their mommy did try - but she will have her own mess to clean up at home!

I'm trying to ignore the mess and stay on the computer, so here goes.....

I just listed some new goodies on both cigarboxbeads and suchandsort- please check out the story on the bracelet- it's pretty funny ---now!

One of the twins likes to 'bead' with me- she is very particular and anal about it--she calls it 'needling' --the other twin tells her- 'no, it's called beading'. Ha! The answer from the first twin is " I CALL IT NEEDLING!" So there!!111!!

We have fun!

I'm a WINNER!

If you happened to read the comments on my entry for Midsummer Night's Dream - you might see the comment from mychicthings that I had won....guess what I won...

An Audrey Hepburn bracelet from Staci at PinkPoochDesigns! Audrey was the 'go to girl' back in the 60s-- my friends and I all wanted to look like her, dress like her---next to Jackie Kennedy, she was our 'idol'! ;>) So now- I can wear Audrey on my wrist.

Staci does gorgeous work and I know how the time and the artistry it is to peyote faces. I get very confused when I attempt to follow a pattern for something as intricate as that.

So, without further ado--here's my prize!
