Purple Bracelet

My favorite color, purple. Sometimes I am surprised that I don't create more in this color. When I look at what I have in my bead collection I also see lots of aqua so I better say my two favorite colors are purple and aqua. This is a fun one to wear. Very fringy and textural. I also have ankle bracelets in my etsy shop that are similar to this. Maybe this is strange, but I like to take the bracelet, curl it up in my hand and hold it. It feels good! OK, so I'm weird. It looks good around your wrist.

It is for sale for $22 in my Etsy shop. go to this link : purple bracelet

Morning Glories Greet me on Labor Day

Last night I saw some buds but never expected the outburst of color and flowers this beautiful September Monday. All I could do is smile and touch them gingerly and call to my husband and son to stand with me and admire the artistry of God. What a gift!

Thought you might like to look at a necklace that turned out to be very pretty. And It was nice of my friend to model it so I could put a good picture of it in my Etsy shop. It is very earthy in color and full of sparkly dangles. Here is a link to it in my Etsy shop: Amber and Ice necklace

Amber and Ice Free Form Peyote Stitch Beaded Pendant

It's a snowy Sunday in Maine, but amazingly not as snowy as it is for all of you in VA, Maryland , Delaware and those parts. Since I used to live in DE and Baltimore, my thoughts are with you. They just don't have the equipment to clean it all up quickly. Be careful driving and walking the next few days. (Did you hear that mom?)

I have a new necklace that I really loved working on. It's called "Amber and Ice". I'm doing more of these smaller versions of my fancy peyote stitch pieces since they are more affordable and appeal to more people. I do love working with earthy colors.

As you wonder what to do this snowy eve, take a look!

December Already?

Here it is December, and nearing Christmas. I can see how busy I've been because it's been quite awhile since I've posted anything here. School keeps me always occupied and thinking. Being a mom takes the most energy, but I wouldn't trade it.

I was happy to see that someone chose to put my Mermaid necklace in their selection of mermaid things on Etsy. Treasuries are up and running for just a few days but I believe they can be looked at after the treasury time period has ended. Here is a link to the one I am writing about: http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list_west.php?room_id=79795

And yes, we did see a moose.

A beautiful drive north into Rangeley today. Truly spectacular scenery and quite different from the coast of Maine that I am used to. We were in search of two relatives that we never did find.

On the drive home at dusk, we slammed on the brakes and avoided hitting a big moose who decided to take a stroll across the highway. The car behind us couldn't stop and swerved around us nearly hitting us or that moose. We pulled over about mile ahead and talked to the other driver who blew out a tire in the incident. No injuries in the adventure but the adrenilin sure was pumped!

I had my camera sitting on my lap, but it happened so fast and I was enthralled with the sight of that big animal, so no photo.

Crocus Blooms Freeform Peyote Stitch Beaded Necklace

This is one of my recent necklaces that I've just put on Etsy. You can see it at my moosewinks shop: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20346600. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. It's shorter than many I've made, but still full of sparkle and texture.

Snow and Tradewind Bracelets!

It's snowing like crazy as I glance out the window. My son is making a marble contraption on the living room floor, and soon we'll trudge through the snow, start the car and head out to church. I do love it!

  Yesterday I worked on some more photos for my etsy site. It was a good idea to buy the portable cloth light box. It improves my photos. I have switched from black backgrounds to white, and I like that cleaner brighter look better. I find that the light still has to be daylight to get better images. Perhaps I need to invest in some good spot lights next.

  So I am posting new images of bracelets that are also on my etsy site: http://moosewinks.etsy.com
