LaBella Joya Color Throwdown

Marcie at www.labellajoya.blogspot.com for awhile has been writing about Margie Deeb's book, the Beader's Color Palette and challenging us to use certain color palette's in our jewelry. She has issued an end of year challenge and gave a number of color samples to choose from. I chose The Lady and the Unicorn.



This color palette spoke to me because I lean towards some of these colors, but never really together. I'm calling this one "The Unicorn's Gift".

 
 
 
 

9 Days and Counting!!

A couple years ago I was able to go to a Rings-Things.com Bead Show in Minneapolis, MN. Then things got, you know, BUSY. I got "unexpectedly" pregnant at the age of 38. My little girl joined the rest of us including her brother who is 9 years older than her, and her half sisters who are 19 & 21 years older than her.

So in that time, I have always missed the shows appearance in Minneapolis. So this time, I've been counting down for approximately 70 days. Ask Dave, the Rings-Things Twitter Rep. I've been reminding him about the upcoming show for a long time. ;-)

Not only have I been reminding the Rep about the show but I've made sure to continue reminding my hubby that he will have the kids that day. This isn't a problem for him, I just need to keep reminding him.

So next Sunday, I will be in bead heaven, trying not to drool. Check out the listing at Rings-Things to make sure you don't miss one that is coming to your area. I'll update you after the show with my goodies!!

A Lot has Happened Since 9/06

Hmmm. Soon after this last post I found out I was unexpectedly ......pregnant. I just thought I was approaching menopause. Not so. Fast forward to now, I have a beautiful 1 yo girl, 10 yo son, 20 yo step daughter, and 22 yo step daughter. I'm getting back into my etsy shop, but this time focusing on fiber arts. Jewelry has become so saturated all over, that I'm hoping to get in the front door of fiber before that gets saturated!

I will be back with an etsy mini of my shop and hope to post here more often than I have in the last 1.5 years.
