It's been a while since I've posted.. mostly because I currently do not have internet connection at home. :( Boo. I'm still catching up on my bills from the past 6 months unemployment.. in all the fuss and juggling to keep the phones on and the horses fed AND try to save a bit for a car down-payment... I TOTALLY forgot to pay my internet... for TWO months. DOH!!!
So this is just a quick Hello before I clock in to work today... I hope to get up and running online again within the next week... Thank you for keeping me in mind!!!
After much prompting, I have joined the blog world! I hope to fill this space with interesting stories about my day to day.. and keep in touch with friends I've made and hopefully make more! I also would like to showcase my creativity and love of nature, horses, chickens and friends!

Beading Babes Reveal!
Well we had two projects and extra time this month.... and I managed to get one project finished... I swear the Ravishing Rosettes pattern was hiding from me ... at least parts of it were!! Here is what I accomplished... I really like the pattern and the colors but I totally missed several steps!! I WILL be reworking this in the future though!
As you can see.. I'm missing one part altogether and it is curving in the complete wrong direction!! Ah well.. back to the beading board with it!
This is the Runway of Pearls bracelet that was our second project... I really liked the bracelet! But as I was adding the embellishment I noticed it was getting shorter.... and shorter... I ended up with it almost 2 inches too short!! So, I stared at it for a while.... and then came up with this idea... which my wonderful boss helped me wire up.. (wire and I don't get along too well right now)
This bracelet called for embellishing both sides but as it was shrinking as I went along, I ended up only embellishing the one side.. but it still turned out fairly well.. at least I think so!
I can't wait to see what the other Babes have worked up with this challenge!!!
