Cookies!!

Just got back from our 32nd (!!!!) annual Christmas cookie exchange so I'm all set for cookies for the hols.
I wanted to wear something seasonal to our get-together, so I buffed up a bunch of beads from my stash and made this one:

I also sold a few pieces and got an order for a bracelet! God bless my friends! :)

A Room With a View?

This was what the world looked like outside my window this morning. The freezing rain has changed to 'just rain' but it's not exactly getting me in the Christmas spirit!

Spent some time working on beads, then forgot to adjust the temperature on my oven and nearly poisoned myself with the fumes! Luckily, I caught them in time and I think they'll survive to live as part of a big bead necklace.  Until I have that made, here are a couple more pics of some of my necklaces:

Now for some jewelry photos:

Some attempts at the Sutton Slice.

Baby it's cold outside!

I can hear the wind howling outside and I'm in here with a cold and nothing to do so I thought I'd try uploading some pics of my p.c. projects.
My photos are not very good but my photographer son has promised to build me a 'soft box' so that they'll look more professional in the future. Save that for the New Year.
Here's a photo of the ornaments I made for the Clayamies 2013 ornament exchange. I'm off to Westport on Wednesday to pick up my collection. Can't wait to see them all!  This was a fun project and I'm already thinking about what I'll make next year!
