"Twisted Sisters"!!!!!

Yes, that would describe two of Vickie, Kim and my other two sisters - they are worse than twisted! No more of that!

This was my last class and it was really fun and easy and great little gifts to make for Christmas!!!!!!! See the ones that I have made so far!!!

Also, we got a call that Riyoko's mom, Osako, (our daughter-in-laws mom) had an aneurism on Monday night and it was very serious. Thank God, she has come out of it and did not have a stroke but she will be in ICU for a week where she belongs! Osako is very tiny, exercises, doesn't smoke, eats healthy but loves her sweets so they also found out she now has diabetes! See, it doesn't pay to be healthy! Anyway, Osako is such a sweet lady so I made her a necklace to wear once she recovers and is able to have her husband, Hiroshi, take her out to dinner!!! We couldn't have found a nicer family for our son, Cory, to marry into - we love all of them plus Riyoko has a sister, Yoko, who lives in Japan and flew home to be with her parents!

Earth, Wind, & Fire!

I have a cabochon that I beaded around and now I am working on the neckstrap - may be finished by Christmas!!!!

This started as a stone and then I shaped, rounded it and polished it! I very proud of this piece and named it Earth, Wind, & Fire - beading around the cabs is probably my favorite jewelry to do!

Stay tuned to more pieces of jewelry in the near future!

It's Been a Long Time!

It's been 2+ months since I have posted to my blog! Nothing exciting in my life but have been beading away and besides that I have been working on Wedding Jewelry for a friend of a friend and it consists of four bridesmaids and five Jr. bridesmaids! I will work on it all weekend and will finish it since the wedding in is in two weeks and will post on my blog.

Halloween is right around the corner and with that, I decided to make Riyoko, our daughter~in~law, a skull necklace and earrings, 'cause she & Cory have their two dogs wearing collars with skulls. Don't know if she will wear it or not but she will still be in New York, still working on a film, and her sister from Japan and Cory will be there so maybe she will!!!
