January pattern choice<br />
<br />
I chose to make the Megan Neilsen Tania Culottes because I love culottes. These looked perfect - the comfort of a pant but the look of a skirt. They looked so flattering in the picture so I jumped right in, ignoring all the rules of measuring, fitting, etc. etc. I found the perfect fabric and dreamed of what I would wear with these for the photo shoot (even though I hate having my pictures taken). I purchased a beautiful black cardigan to complete the outfit.<br />
<br />

I would say the hardest part was the laying out and cutting. I'm not a huge fan of laying out on a single layer of fabric and because the pieces were so wide the idea of perfectly matching went out the window. I managed on my tiny table to get all the pieces cut and even cut out a flower detail to add to the cardigan. I may or may not use, but it is cute.<br />

Why I never bothered to test the fit I'll never know! I starting sewing right away, it was easy and although the pleat detail seemed daunting it was super easy and so so cool. These were going to be so pretty.<br />

I haven't sewn a hidden zipper in quite some time but watched a tutorial and felt confident. I sewed the one side seam - easy. At this point though (before tackling the zipper) I thought I would check the fit. OMG I'm glad I did. The waist sat just under my boobs and the crotch was half way to my ankle - yikes now what. I figured they were ruined so what the heck lets take a leap and see how they could be saved. I cut off just over 4 inches from the waist down (still saved some pleat - enough to still do what it was suppose to). I cut a new waistband piece 8 inches but this would be folded in half to make up the approx. 4 inches I lost. Because I cut down 4 inches, the culottes slipped on with no need of a zipper. I threaded elastic through the wide waistband and drum roll - it worked. They look perfect and are so comfortable.<br />

I will definitely make these again but I will take the time to properly fit the pattern first.</div>

Love handwork</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am the kind of person that has to keep her hands busy - I can't stand just sitting and doing nothing! I was searching for a project and my daughter suggested I look at embroidery. I haven't done any stitching for sometime but thought why not. Her suggestion was not just for embroidery though, it was embroidering on clothing. We both love to sew and like to make pieces that are unique and one of a kind.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I dove right in, I wanted to start on the big project right away so did very little practice. I had purchased a beautiful gold boiled wool - gosh - over 4 years ago and decided this was it. It's near impossible to find embroidery transfers here so I just freehanded a design of my own. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After much thought on color I decided to stay within the gold tones and accent with blue and green.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The pattern for the cardigan is a Kwik Sew - very basic because I wanted the embroidery to take center stage. The boiled wool was surprisingly easy to embroider on and the pattern was super quick to sew. I pondered over the neckline wondering whether to add a ruffle but finally settled on simplicity. I absolutely love the finished product and will be wearing this often.</div>

Sarah Gunn from Goodbye Valentino (<a href="http://goodbyevalentino.com/">http://goodbyevalentino.com/</a>) is hosting this adventure and it promises to be a fun challenge. I have recently retired and have felt a little adrift, not sure what to do next. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love being retired - I get to be creative and do all the things I want to do when I want to do them but sometimes you just need that challenge. When I was beading I was always challenged but that mojo has still not come home so on to something completely different. I have always loved sewing but I have done my fair share of keeping the retail industry going. I still love shopping but with respect to the environment and my pocketbook I have to be more conscious.<br />
<br />
The rules are pretty simple - no ready to wear clothing.<br />
<br />
I am even committing to making my own under garments - my first two bras and I'm addicted - shopping for lace in NYC at Mood was such an experience and one that will be repeated as often as possible. Of course I made matching panties and they are oh so comfortable and a perfect fit.<br />

My interest has also peaked with making clutch purses/handbags so they will likely become a regular addition to my blog as well.<br />

I have quite the stash of fabric from my shopping trip to Mood and B&J Fabrics in NYC so now to get down to some serious business - picking my first project!<br />
<br />
Happy sewing all!<br />

And I especially love when I make a quilt for someone special to me. It is my way of wrapping them in my arms and giving them love.<br />
<br />
This year for Christmas I made my daughters quilts and was so excited for them to open them. Now except for my son in law my family all have a quilt made by me! I even have a couple on the go for my soon to be born grandson.<br />

Meagan's quilt</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This quilt was for my daughter Meagan (soon to be mom of two). It was made with Kaffe Fasset 5 inch charm squares and because the fabric is so outstanding I kept it simple - framed 9 patch squares. I love to personalize my quilts with something from my heart so I stitched the following on one of the borders "You were a blessing from the start, I love you Meagan with all my heart". I hope she likes it!</div>

Molly's quilt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For my daughter Molly I made a more modern design, I found this pattern on line (<a href="http://knitnlit.blogspot.ca/2012/10/modern-half-square-triangle-quilt-long.html">http://knitnlit.blogspot.ca/2012/10/modern-half-square-triangle-quilt-long.html</a>) and just loved it, I did change it up a bit and introduced red - red and black are my daughters company colors. It was a challenge and not all my points line up but it is a beauty. The message was "I love you to the moon and back LaLa, forever in my heart". She did have a sneak preview and said she loved it so all is good.</div>

Robyn's quilt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pretty in Pink and it is oh so pink. I was trying a new technique - mile a minute quilting - and was only going to make a small sample. But as I was working on it I was thinking of my beautiful sister in law and the more I worked the more it became hers. I added simple nine patch squares to tone it down and I love the results. I can't wait to give it to her. "love you so much" says it all.</div>

Not only do I like quilting but I like painting as well - I just don't have a dedicated space so I don't paint as often as I may like. I want to do a large version of this technique (acrylic pour) but I will need to find a space to do it and that could be a challenge .... I just love the colors in these two (my favorites so far) - it is very addicting and I have lots of canvases stacked in the corner with no where to hang!</div>

I am just so happy and really wonder why I didn't do it sooner. When you work in an increasingly poisonous environmental and you are constantly surrounded by people with huge ego problems, it tends to drain the creative juices, it was time for me to think of me! I was worried I would be bored..... hah! For one I have just discovered free motion quilting and I am hooked! Not sure why I even went down this road but now that I'm on it....I am having so much creative fun! A few quilts I have made since retiring. These were quilted on my home sewing machine, but I have just finished a long arm quilting course and I am thinking that is the way to go.<br />

I have gotten the knitting bug though and to be more specific lace shawl knitting. I love all the artisan yarns out there, the colors are so rich and deep; just makes you want to caress them all especially the alpaca and silk and the merino's. We don't have a lot of yarn stores in Edmonton especially ones that carry artisan yarn so I have scouted out a few sites and have been shopping, shopping, shopping. I really must stop. When I was in New York I purchased some fabric that begged to be made into a jacket and of course what goes better with a new jacket than a hand knit lace shawl in complimentary colors - jackets not done but the shawl is!<br />

A blustery weekend glamping trip provided the opportunity to get behind the lens and shoot some spectacular storm clouds. I love glamping in the rain and we had an incredible relaxing weekend - a much needed get away ...<br />

I am not even sure why. I think when I was prolifically beading I posted way more and right now I seemed to have lost my beading mojo and I don't know where to find it!<br />
<br />
Luckily I have other things I like to do while patiently waiting for my mojo to return. I do miss beading challenges though.....a lot. I was really bummed that the BSBP was cancelled, I do understand the reason but it was still a bummer.<br />
<br />
My precious grand daughter has filled my days with joy and happiness.....I just can't get enough of her. I have been knitting a lot of delightful little sweaters and she is such a cute model. What can I say I am smitten.<br />

I have also been super busy knitting for all the new arrivals in our family, I am so happy we are growing, babies are such blessing and bring so much joy. <br />
<br />
<br />
I have also been busy with my camera, a passion I cannot live without. My generous sweet husband has been feeding my indulgence with a new micro camera, way easier to pack around especially when you get to tick off one of your bucket list items - a trip to New York. I loved every minute and every second of the trip. I went with my daughter, son in law and granddaughter (her first birthday present). My daughter and I are both avid seamstresses and went to mecca fabric land. All I can say is wow and wow! We actually had to purchase more suitcases to bring all our fabric goodies home- let the fun begin.<br />
<br />
Hopefully my beading mojo will come back, it's a wait and see thing. <br />

Time to Stitch” blog hops. It stretches my creativity and allows me to step
outside my box.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have always wanted to
stitch an amulet bag and this I thought gave me the perfect opportunity…..well
my creative juices just took me somewhere else….the amulet bag will have to
wait for another time.</span></div>

time for the holidays…a tiny evening beaded extraordinaire…perfect little bag
for the holiday season and it holds just the right stuff – credit card and a
lipstick! I love the color turquoise and all variations of and I love just
using random beads to create with, as I have said before – it’s like painting
with beads! This little bag consists of pearls, crystals, drops, flat glass and
seed beads. The opening is hidden in one of the sides and it stands on little
pearl legs and has a ribbon wrist strap. So much fun to make and can’t wait to
use it.</span></div>

carpet bag reminiscent of 19<sup>th</sup> century purses. This bag is slightly
bigger than the evening bag and will hold all the essentials.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have a red felt hat and I needed something
to complete the outfit and this fits the bill. I first knitted the bag and then
felted it- it turned out so cute but the addition of the felted design with
beaded highlighting is exactly the look I wanted and took it over the top. The
seed beading added such depth and dimension to this little purse; it is such a
unique one of a kind purse.</span></div>

My very talented sister had guided me along, because this is all new to me. I have painted in the past...as a matter of fact...that was my chosen passion until my life took a drastic change....another story. I love my life and simply put I love my family and this is for them.<br />

I am also loving photography, once behind the lens time just slips away.<i> </i>I love post production and creating my own little master pieces. The little ponies where taken at Fort Edmonton and the abandoned row boat was taken in Deep Cove, BC.<br />

Loving my life!Kepihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14405975472775732391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010973641772565268.post-60297364392056982392015-07-27T12:33:00.001-06:002015-07-27T12:33:25.573-06:00Burberry.....love it!My daughter loves Burberry, not just likes but loves, loves, loves it. Clothing, jewelery, purses, scarfs....you name it. So, while perusing the very addicting Pinterest site and coming across some patterns for Burberry cuffs I thought what a great surprise for her. Although I thought it may be difficult, it was super easy and worked up so quick she was wearing her bracelet by the weekend. <br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcL6US13LfCGGm2exe5uGnEmDXVJEkSPmyJCPOiagVYzB7LNh9N65bsND4VRb7rsd07hLY29ieKlIBVYsgpSUm9wVDOqg2bZ2uTC9SXiq_ngAKZKF3IKRD9Uf5WkSCS8QOR5OWeRoSSQIc/s1600/FullSizeRender2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcL6US13LfCGGm2exe5uGnEmDXVJEkSPmyJCPOiagVYzB7LNh9N65bsND4VRb7rsd07hLY29ieKlIBVYsgpSUm9wVDOqg2bZ2uTC9SXiq_ngAKZKF3IKRD9Uf5WkSCS8QOR5OWeRoSSQIc/s320/FullSizeRender2.jpg" width="295" /></a></div>
<br />
Now as I worked this cuff I started falling in love with the pattern as well, and after the bracelet went home with my daughter, I kind of missed it. So yes I whipped up another one for myself. This one has a 3D bow attached; super cute and looks awesome on...very chic!<br />

What better way than to pack up the RV and hit the road. Now when I pack up it involves deciding on a project (or multiple projects) to take along. The only downside to going away is not having all you supplies at your fingertips, so it is crucial I give this a lot of thought. There is my camera of course and all the lenses and tripods and accessories to go with, there is also the latest knitting project (in case it rains and I am stuck inside) and we can't forget a beading project or two. One thing that is a must and that I tend to do only while sitting around the campfire in the evenings is carving. The carving I did this weekend is for my wonderful husband, my other half. The lovespoon I carved symbolizes our entwined lives, always joined in love. One side has my birthstone (garnet) embedded and the other side has his birthstone (amethyst) ; the diamond crystals symbolizes our eternal love.<br />
<br />
<i>A <b>Lovespoon</b> is a wooden spoon decoratively carved that was
traditionally presented as a gift of romantic intent. The spoon is
normally decorated with symbols of love.</i><br />

<br />
<i> </i>I carved the spoon with a fairly soft wood, easy to carve harder to sand smooth, and as I didn't have stain on hand (my husband does draw the limit on what I can pack) but was anxious to finish I used maple flavoring and olive oil to finish. Not only did the maple flavoring give the spoon a glorious rich taupe brown it also smells so delicious. My mother always told me that necessity is the mother of invention!<br />
<br />
The camera came out a lot, the sunsets where glorious!<br />

Just counting down the days until we take vacation. We are headed to the West Coast again as it is one of my favorite places to be, comes in second though to being with my family and most importantly my beautiful granddaughter. This is such a joyous time in my life but especially in my daughter's life. Everyday is a blessing and a joy...<br />

Speaking of summer I had wanted to make this necklace for a long time (Jimmie Boatwright pattern featured in Bead and Button). I love how it lays on your neck in soft waves....speaks to me of the ocean and all things peaceful. I made a version of the pattern into a bracelet, such a beautiful calming set to wear!<br />

for another "A Time to Stitch" hosted by <a href="http://It is time for another "A Time to Stitch" hosted by Therese Frank and Christine Altmiller, this round is number seven and I am so happy to be participating because it is my favorite form of beading…. Bead Embroidery. I fell in love with Bead Embroidery a long time ago, and have always held a soft spot in my heart for it. To me it is like painting a blank canvas but with beads. The creative juices just flow and I find that once I start a piece it is almost impossible for me to put it down until it’s completed. I love working with seed beads and special stones, stones that have deep meaning to me and then adding different elements and pieces that make each piece a statement of their own and a work of art. As most of my bead friends know I was recently blessed with the most precious gift ever, a beautiful granddaughter. I wanted to make something very special for her to come home from the hospital in and as I am a knitter as well as a beader, I wanted to incorporate both into something very special. I made her the most precious one of a kind pair of slippers fit for a princess (that’s what she is to me). I knitted a pair of tiny “Mary Jane” type slippers in the softest pink wool, felted them and then went crazy covering them in beautiful pearls, crystals, seed beads, and small tiny silver beads. I showed my good friend who had just become an auntie to an adorable little niece and she asked that I make her a pair as well. Both pairs are very unique and I am sure will become heirlooms. To go with each pair of slippers I made a tiny seed pearl bracelet for each precious child. I was having so much fun making these that I had to make the little mice slippers as well, and even though there are not as many beads on these one’s they are just as cute – let’s call them everyday slippers. I have made many bead embroidery pieces, large and small, bracelets and necklaces – they still intrigue me. My tastes have shifted slightly and I now wear simpler designs. That being said bead embroidery can still be used to make some pretty awesome pendants. The first pendant was made to showcase the beautiful mauve iridescent crystal I had in my stash. I may be wearing simpler designs but they are still sparkly. The crystal is such a pretty color and luckily I had some perfectly matching and complimentary drops, glass cab and seed beads to go with it. I loved how the pendant turned out but was undecided on the rope. I tried many different rope designs and was actually getting quite frustrated. Then when visiting my LBS I saw the prettiest mauve wire and knew that a Viking knit rope was the answer - perfect combination in my mind. The second piece I made features a large ruby drop pendant. I loved the stone as soon as I saw it and as my husband and I were on vacation I thought I would get it to celebrate our vacation. The price seemed exceptionally reasonable for such a large ruby so I eagerly took it to the counter to purchase. I was a bit shocked to find out the price was per gram not for the whole pendant and was substantially more. That is a little secret we just won’t mention to my husband. Considering the price of the stone I wanted to do something special with it but couldn’t think what, it sat for a long time. Then ATTS 7 came along and it begged to be used. I love East Indian clothing and jewelry and this being a ruby fit so well. I used pearls, seed bead, crystals, garnets and of course the ruby. Again I had trouble deciding on the rope but settled upon an embellished RAW rope. I love how this turned out – I just need to find some ruby drop earring to go with it.">Therese Frank</a> and <a href="http://www.onekisscreations.blogspot.ca/">Christine Altmiller</a>, this round is number seven and I am so happy to be participating

After joining <a href="http://www.prettythingsblog.com/2015/02/announcing-art-of-awareness-blog-hop.html">Lori’s</a> Art of Awareness<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Blog, and excitedly ordering and receiving some
of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/swoondimples">Heather’s </a>adorable awareness beans – I panicked. I had to write what the
awareness beans meant to me and even though deep in my heart I knew what I what I wanted to say; actually writing it down and putting it out
there for the world to see was something I found quite daunting.</div>

The awareness beads I chose express my sentiments perfectly: Love, You are my Home, and Hello Sunshine.</div>

I have 2 brothers and 3 sisters, and growing up we were each others best friends. We moved around a lot and it was hard to develop
friendships but I always knew I had my family. As we grew into adults and
started building our own lives we drifted apart and the closeness we had once
felt didn't seem to be there any longer. It is so sad not to have that brother sister bond with
all my siblings – 2 have become completely estranged and I cannot share the
joy, the sorrow, the achievements made and the failure experienced <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and just day to day life with them. I really do miss them both so much and wish them happy lives that are
filled with Love. I still have a great relationship with two of my sister's and one brother and that makes me feel grounded and part of something, I wish it was with all my brothers and sisters...maybe someday!<br />

I<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>have my own little

I thought reveal day was Sunday but yikes it today! I have a really good excuse though....my precious little granddaughter was born on Easter Sunday and oh I just can't get enough. She is pure joy and such a blessing. My daughter had a rough go of it but I think with nana and papa and auntie pitching in she is on the mend.<br />

As I sat outside enjoying a blissfully warm spring day listening to the birds chirping I didn't believe the weather man but I should have.....woke up this morning to snow and a fair amount. Oh well we know spring is just around the corner....we hope!<i> </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
I am really hoping for this to clear by Saturday because my wonderful husband is taking me on a photographic adventure....we are just heading out no destination in mind. These are from my last adventure so I would really like a little less snow and maybe a lot more horses.<br />

I have been in a bit of an artistic slump lately, not beading much, not drawing, not even knitting...what to do...I had ordered Kate McKinnon's book "Contemporary Geometric Beadwork" and thought I would give it a try. Love love love it, the possibilities are endless.The bracelets are 3D and can be reversed, so very cool and easier than one thinks. Here are my first two bracelets and there are more on the beading table.<br />

In great anticipation of my very soon to be here granddaughter I have spent most of my time knitting, crocheting, shopping and planning baby showers.<br />
<br />
This is such an exciting time but has left very little time for beading or anything else. I did make time for this little beauty though- my favorite colors! So peaceful, so serene!<br />

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Our wonderful talented hostesses, <a href="http://theresestreasures59.blogspot.com/">Therese</a> and
<a href="http://onekisscreations.blogspot.com/">Christine</a> are at it again…for the sixth time to be exact. I love these
challenges and this one came at a perfect time. I had just finished the <a href="http://kepirasmussen.blogspot.ca/2014/12/bead-hoarders-blog-hop-is-here.html">Beard Hoarders Blog Hop</a> and was at a kind of at a stand still…perhaps not stand still, more like dead stop…I
just didn’t feel like beading and had no inspirations. I hate it when that happens! Then I saw
the signups for this challenge… perfect! I love doing peyote from a pattern so
relaxing and so many really cool designs out there. It seems whenever I have a
slump I go to a graphed peyote project and this gets the creative juices
flowing again. I prefer working with word patterns, I never seem to get the
starting rows right reading from the graph but I do like to challenge myself
and have been successful with smaller graph projects.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">For this challenge I have made several peyote
cuff bracelets (Greendragon9 and Anabel27 patterns), a brick stitch cuff bracelet
(Bead and Button Magazine pattern) and a RAW bracelet with embellishments (pattern by
Marcia Decoster).</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Thank you Therese and Christine for hosting
this challenge, it has helped me get over my beading slump and has given me
some very gorgeous bracelets.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I should mention that although I was in a bit
of a beading slump, I have been knitting up a storm……so excited for my sweet
little granddaughter’s arrival at the end of March. I was so thrilled to be
allowed to attend the 3D ultrasound and actually see the little munchkin in
action. Spring can’t come soon enough!</span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I am so excited to be
participating in the Bead Hoarder’s Blog Hop and yes like all of you I am a
hoarder.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never started out to be one
but it is pretty much impossible not to become one…there are just so many beautiful
little pieces of art out there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am
particularly excited about this hop because it is a party hosted by Lori Anderson
and I am so glad she is back. There is excitement in the air and it’s because
the wonderful Bead Soup Cafe is open once again…I never realized how much I would
miss it until I didn’t have it. I know Lori has a long road to recovery ahead
of her but this is such a positive step and we will all be there in her corner
cheering her on.</span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I love the Bead
Hoarder’s Blog Hop…it makes one visit tucked away treasures and remember design
ideas and then come up with new design ideas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And let’s face it I just love bead blog hops…such positive reinforcement
for creative minds.</span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">A dear friend gifted
me with her mother’s little treasure box of jewellery, knowing I love beading
she thought that perhaps I could use some of the beads in the necklaces for my
projects. I tucked away these treasures for another day and now that day is
here. Isobel’s treasure box was filled with many pieces but most noticeably
there were several strands of pearls. Some were obviously favorites because there
were old and well worn, some were newer but all suggested Isobel’s love of the
finishing touch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Isobel’s Pearls” combines all the pearls from
these necklaces in one piece. Gold lace became the backdrop to showcase the
precious pearls enhanced with tiny gold seed beads and a crystal drop as the
final touch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is old world charm
reinvented, a vision of love, age and wisdom.</span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I had in my stash
several Raku beads that were crying to be seen but I had no idea what to do
with them. I love Raku, the deep earthy richness and the obvious love put into
creating them. When creating a Raku piece one never knows the outcome, hence
the meaning “happiness in the accident” … so unpredictable and unique.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also had some beautiful shibori silk
ribbon…what a wonderful combination of two very natural elements coming
together. I had never used a brass collar insert but had one on hand and the
design process began…by this I mean I had a dream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I needle felted a piece of lacy stiff stuff
with some gorgeous silk hankie and then added the shibori ribbon, Raku beads, crystals
and seed beads; encased the brass insert by adding crystals along the edge for
a wonderful earthy neck collar… “Elemental”</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEvP75NQZpYtpTYyc4oNqETX_fMqvaeULmn1ugUau-mQ0KLp69E37n9F8UiVAlAS47fkYYMmvHFGA-DN4D5tZ_q2S0L7Om-wvynFIXVn2wr7tJcpHQ5xzGp3FJsgPO8ku_VOPuLoCA790/s1600/sparkling+rocks.jpg" height="229" width="320" /></div>
Our wonderful hostess <a href="http://www.jewelschoolfriends.com/2014/10/sparkling-rocks-rescheduled-for.html">Rita</a> was met with disaster recently and had a most devastating event occur in her life. Can you belief her roof fell in, I am so sorry Rita. As Rita called it a "wild and radical change". I know Rita has moved and it sounds like her new place is just lovely, but we all know what a big job moving is and then getting settled. My little sparkling rock never arrived but<i> </i>I am not one to show up to the party empty handed. When I realized what happened to Rita it was to late for me to order some sparkling rocks and have them arrive in time, so I improvised. I am still excited to get some sparkling rocks (they are so gorgeous) and when I do something wonderful will be posted but for now please enjoy my version of "sparkling rocks".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n3Ouff-YNd8/VGJGkmZ8ueI/AAAAAAAADAE/341XHjMd-TQ/s1600/sparkling%2Brocks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n3Ouff-YNd8/VGJGkmZ8ueI/AAAAAAAADAE/341XHjMd-TQ/s320/sparkling%2Brocks.jpg" width="292" /></a></div>
These little beauties have streaks of vibrant sparkly colors running through them and though you can't see - the edges are a deep shiny purple. I paired them with small garnet (my birth stone) beads and gold findings. <br />
<br />
Please enjoy the hop. I wish Rita well and hopefully things will settle down for her.<br />

Fall is my favorite time of year, I love the the glorious colors, the warm winds, and the feelings that this time of year evokes. Although it heralds the end of bare toes and tanned arms...it is the beginning of warm cozy quilts, simmering soups and new feelings of creativity.<br />
<br />
I have been busy lately...behind the camera, trying new things and of course beading. I am blessed to have a such an understanding husband who takes me for long rides in the country so I can take as many pictures as I want of the glorious fall scenery, I can never get enough!<br />

I have rediscovered my love of knitting (thank goodness as I have a grand baby on the way), and I am also trying my hand at needle felting...it is amazing what a person can make out of bits of wool! I am just a beginner but really like the creativity involved.<br />

And then of course there is beading. I took a chance and ordered some agates from eBay, it can be hit and miss...but I was pleasantly surprised when my little parcel arrived with these beautiful orange with hints of green agates. They were crying to be used in a bead embroidery piece and the result turned out so well. I used the agates, smaller orange agate beads, a beautiful green iridescent crystal rivoli and complimenting green and orange seed beads. In my travels I had been fortunate to find the enameled leaves that just tied everything into one very pretty piece with matching earrings.<br />

Back from vacation (which was awesome....except for the food poisoning) and ready for fall. Although the first week of vacation was a bit dodgy the second week was wonderful, we visited family and reconnected with old friends....it just went by way too fast. Home base was in Fort Langley with many trips to Vancouver and a trip to the island. I reconnected with a long lost cousin, what a wonderful time...wish I had never let so much time pass without being in touch, I plan on not letting that happen again. Saw my sister and my brother....I can never get enough. Saw my sister and brother in law and again can never get enough. I also surprised my girlfriend in Vancouver for a birthday celebration, lots of tears and fun. I have such awesome people in my life and am truly blessed!<br />
