Seashells by the seashore

Falling Fall

Spent last weekend at the lake for the final time this summer season. It was beautiful...but sad, too!

July 4th Weekend at the Lake

December 2010

This is crazy! We have had snowfall every day since December 1st! This type of snowfall is normal for oh, late January or February! Hopefully it will let up enough for me to do some Christmas shopping this weekend. This is what our yard looks like:





This is a pattern I beaded based on the accompanying photo. The colors were chosen by my program to best match the photo, but I'm not happy with the results. I'll be trying it again, but I'll change out the colors to make it closer to the photo.






The second pattern based on the next photo turned out better, though it went gray rather than the green/blue of the photos. I am also working on a series of patterns for cuffs based on textures and nature. I like how they're turning out and I think they'll be fabulous when they are beaded!

An Etsy Beadweaver Challenge Entry

I haven't entered an Etsy Beadweaver Challenge in a very long time. Mostly no time, but I just couldn't pass up the Ocean theme! I love the colors of water/ocean/sea and loved playing with those colors...despite starting this project at least a dozen times before finally being happy with the combination of colors! So, here is my entry: Stormy Seas Cuff.
Oh and here's some fitting news to go along with the cuff...my husband and I, along with our dear friends, have booked an Alaskan cruise! We'll be going in August and we can't wait!!
