2014 8th Bead Soup Blog Party



Welcome to the Eighth Bead Soup blog Party
 
I did enjoy the soup sent to me by Amber Dawn
 




I have however been able to design a few pieces with the lovely Bead Soup that Amber Dawn sent me. Thank you Amber. I took the lamp work beads with the large holes and strung them on a nickel silver chain. I used one of my own fused Dichotic glass pieces as the focal for this piece. Now, onward. I used the fuchsia Lycra circles by putting the Swaorvski crystals and brass bead spacers to form a bracelet. I used the handmade toggle on this piece.  Now, to the fun beads in my soup. Amber sent me the most delightful clay beads. One was a birthday cake. One was a cup of tea with lemon, Then there were two black ones with yellow roses. I guess the ‘Yellow Roses of Texas’ :^). She sent one heart with script of Eternal Love on it, and a glass heart. Whuee. There were several fun beads and glass beads. I had a really good time designing these pieces.
Be blessed to be a blessing

Busy As A Bee




Just a little blog to let you know we are still breathing.  After my husband’s stroke we have been living in a circus. He fell down 4 flights of concrete steps into the street. Some kind soul called 911.  He was rushed to the ER. There was a 3 day stay in the Hospital. He was released at noon on Sunday. I took him home for Home Health, but when I stopped at our gate he opened the car door and blacked out and fell in the street in the back of our home. I called 911 again. Another 3 days at the hospital. He was then released to Skilled Nursing for another 14 days. He has now been home 2 weeks. We have Dr.s appointments everyday and home health nursing coming every day. So you see how beading has not been at the top of my agenda.
