Catching up

Well it has been a while since I posted but I wanted to give a shout out and a thank you to all of the participants of our 2015 Holiday Show. We had a very successful week-end and the main reason was because so many of our friends came to support us. As always Jane and I are so grateful to have your friendship.


Also Jane and I have participated in two bead challenges this fall. The first was October 22 and this group is called the IBBC (Itty Bitty Bead Challenge) We all had a different shape and different color pendant. Five out of six made a necklace using various methods such as bead weaving, stringing, wire work, and knot tying. There was a simple but very creative book mark that certainly has us thinking outside of the box.
We had a lovely dinner from our hostesses Kim and Ann and then we received our beads for the next challenge. I will keep you posted with those results.

Pendant Challenge

Then on November 9th just a few days later Jane and I had another bead challenge from our beady eyed ladies group. Linda V was the hostess and we all reviewed what we were inspired to develop for the "Out of Africa" theme. I must say these creations were excellent. Note the animals on Debbie D's creation, this was on the mark for this theme night. The necklace with the coral beads has since sold at the Cross Ridge Show I participated in later on in November. I will blog more about that another time. Beads were then distributed for the Spring Garden theme challenge for 2016 at my house in April. I had my ideas for the next challenge before we left Linda V's driveway. What a fun group to spend time with . Let me know if you have questions or comments. L.
