Thursday - Tennis Tournament here we come

I finished a bracelet the other night and
as I was putting beads away, I saw a shell
pendant that I had stashed away. I thought
The colors were perfect together...so a
necklace was born. Hope you enjoy seeing these
2 pieces. Named them "coffee on the beach".

We are off to Columbus for my son Jordan's
tennis tournament. This is on clay courts
which should be interesting.I hope he does well.

Tuesday -totally Terrific

Wow! I am so blessed and honored that people are taking notice of my beadwork. Each piece of beadwork that I do really is an extension of me. There is something in it that yells, "hey, dawn made me" on the other hand, it's just pretty jewelry. There has been jewelry since the beginning of time, I just get to be part of that chain. I was featured today on the Bloominglily blog. You can check it out by the link to the right. I haven't totally figured out how to add the link into the text. That's for another day!!

Monday - tried something new

I tried a new stitch after watching a tutorial by
carol on her blog , Fiberlines. You can link to it in the blogs to the right. Check it out and learn something new! She has also added a tutorial on a spiral stitch. That will be tonights project.
This is my Newest piece.

Entangled...

I am so in love with freeform peyote, it just happens
and I don't have to do much planning.
Happy Monday!

Thursday - still the maid didn't show

so.....I'm cleaning baseboards and floors on my hands and knees.
I did get the front porch painted.

New piece i finished last night.

I named it Key Lime Pie and Lemonade.

The rose quartz beads I found at a flee market
in south Fla. I could just imagine some
little southern lady sipping her lemonade
and fanning a gentle breeze!

I started another beachy looking piece today.
Sort of reminds me of fishing nets. Maybe I'll
finish tonight.
Oh.. It might need a little fish..maybe I can
find a fish bead...
this is how all the good pieces evolve..
we'll see

Tuesday - Where is my maid?

Cleaning today.

Hudson made his arrival on
Friday as scheduled.
Here is the picture of him with
his big brother!

I'm Thinking greens and
Earthtones for my next bead
project. We'll see.

Monday - Humid - hot - happy to be beading!

I Finally finished a piece I started a while ago.

The name is SUNBURST. This little jewel is Peyote stitch with delicas on a sterling silver frame. Talk about big things coming in small packages!

Today is touch-up painting, post office, drop off goodwill stuff.

Then of course a little beading.
