Life has become unexpectedly busy!

With the nice weather comes busy days! I find that I am on here less now that it is so nice outside! So once a day, probably eavnings I'll be on here (maybe twice a day/mornings).

My daughters school had a carnival the other night, and it seems like it went pretty good! Kids had a blast and I think the adults did too :o) I know Kira had fun!   They had a silent auction and then items that you could put your name in for to win- we wond three of the items somehow! lol  But I won a great prize for myself shampoo/conditioner w/ a gc to a place that does things like body wraps and stone massage...things like that- so hopefully I can put some money aside to use the gc by the 12th! I am excited to use it :o)

These are the cupcake cones Kira decorated with grandma....She did a good job!!

 All her prizes from the night!

Finally the night is done and we are relaxing on the porch <3

Here's some things I've been working on lately....

After 1 yr of trying a few times, I finally have peyote stitch figured out! yay! Here's a few of the bracelets I've already done!

I've also been working on some hair accessories, here's a few of them!

 This clip used to be a clip on earring! I made one into a hair clip, and the other is a ring! (you'll see them together in the next photo). I also have a broach that goes with it and plan on making a necklace with it, and sell them as a set when it's done!

Found some cute buttons and decided to use them!

Mothers Day Sunday

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful day today! 

This morning I was up early for an out of town soccer game. I was the first one there- lol Set up the field and waited for everyone else to arrive. We didn't win this game, but the kids did really well this game! Kira even scored a goal! So proud of her for that!!! I think I am even enjoying being assistant coach!

It rained so bad yesterday that I thought we would have bad weather again today, but we are fortunate that it's not been that bad of a day.......little sprinkle's here and there, but for the most part it was good.

********************************************
I've been working on a few different items of jewelry lately, been finding it a little tough though....almost like writers block!  I think i will begin going to the farmers market here soon, as I need to make some extra money and want to get selling my jewelry!

This necklace is cute...the stuff I got from the art store here, is interesting to work with.... It's comes in a tube shape and is like a netting- you slip beads into it to make something. In between the beads I used a large hole bead to space it out....there are different types of netting- one is clear like in the picture, then there's one with silver flecks and one with gold flecks.... It switches up a plain bead and give's it texture at the same time!

What else....oh yeah, this is what I am trying to work on right now..... I'm having trouble finding the right glue that will work for my items- but I am wanting to do some hair accessories...here's what I've done so far....

Softwater pearls with glass seed beads from NewYork <3

This last photo is a pendant....Using thicker wire and thin wire, then I added some saphire on it.... i will just add it to a black chain, unless someone want's the pendant alone or on a silver chain.
