What a weekend

Well I have never been so tired in all my life.  Or at least lately.  Celebrated my 30 High School Reunion on Saturday with over a hundred class mates.  Its crazy how much people have changed and yet how much they have stayed the same.
I was glad to have at least kept in touch with a few and recognized a few more.
Then after getting home by 1:30 in the morning and a semi restful night I was surprised the next morning with plans for a trip into town to see a vintage car show.
It was a rather warm day but we made it through and then were invited to lunch with one of my husbands friends Bob at his beautiful home in Lake Oswego.
How lucky we are to have such fun friends.
This picture is of Bob and the tall guy is my husband Rollie.
I hoping for a cool day today as I wish to get some things done around the house and to possibly be inspired to get creative.
Here's to a fun extra day away from work.

Latest and the greatest. New Designs

I can't believe its August already.
We may actually see a 90 degree day on Saturday. 
This is my vertion of a covered bead pendant.  You can reverse it for two different looks.

Beaded knit necklace.   It takes some time but well worth it.

Many of the newest ring design.  They are knit so their soft and easy to wear.  Great for people with arthritis or when your fingers swell due to a little water retension.


Here are some of the latest beaded jewelry designs I have been working on.  Today is my 30 high school reunion.  I am looking forward to seeing some of the old gang.  Next will be my neices wedding in Sept and then from there who knows.
I am now actually work showing and selling my in a wonderful new shop on Stark called the "Velvet Flame"  The owner is a fantastic artist who I greatly admire for her skill and kindness.
If you ever get the chance run on by.  It is in a little out of the way stop at at Montavilla Station.
Time to go out and water.  Enjoy the weekend my friends,
