Heritage Village Market Day Art Show 1-12-13

Yesterday was a great day to be outside at the Art Show. Talked to a lot of people and made new friends. My latest creations were a hit. I was told next weekend at the Manatee Festival there will be quite a  lot of vendors and upwards of 7000 people visiting the booths. Sounds exciting doesn't it. I can hardly wait, it will be my first time at the festival either as a vendor or attending. I am anxious to see all of the art and crafts.  My sister and I will be there Saturday and Sunday, our table will be in the same spot. Sure hope it is as warm as it was the past weekend. Please come by and see us if you are in town.

Inspiration in the New Year

Taking a break from beading for the holidays sure did get my creative juices flowing. I spent last Saturday, after two weeks of no beading at the beads store or the library, in my studio just puttering around with wire and beads. Inspiration hit and I had a blast. The inspiration stayed with me all week and I have been very productive. I have quite a few new pieces for the Arts and Craft Show at Heritage Village in CR tomorrow. Take a look at my photo stream!

December 2012

It has been a busy couple of weeks for me with enteertaining family for Thanksgiving and getting ready for Christmas. My sister and I participated in the a craft show at the mall last weekend. We had a lot of fun meeting people and selling some jewelry. On Saturday we will be at Market Days Arts and Craft Show at Heritage Village in Crystal River with our jewelry. Hope some of you are able to come by and see us. I just made some really cute Christmas earrings.

Beading Update

This is my latest necklace. It is a spiral made with Sapphire Satin 4mm bicone Swarovski Elements and gold seed beads. I just love it. It is so beautiful. The picture doesn't do it justice. I made it for my friend Marian. Can hardly wait to see it on her. Of, course she is getting the Sapphire Satin tennis bracelet to go with it. She'll really be decked out for all those Christmas parties.

I have been so busy going to bead night at the bead store and to the library to bead with friends. I also started a part time job, so that has taken up quite a bit of time.  Things should settle down just in time to get busy making Christmas gifts. I have gotten started on that. I invited my Mom, my sister, Linda and her sister-in-law, Kathleen over on Tuesday for a crafting afternoon. We made very special gift tags to use with our Christmas gifts this year. No jewelry invovled, however we did add some bling.

Today, I have been making cozy blanket for my grandsons for Christmas. I haven't come up with a craft idea for my grnaddaughter, yet. In the past I have made her aprons and handbags. I have been searching Pinterest for ideas.
