I also made Dara a ring and myself a ring, but the picture was too blurry.

Birthday

Thursday was my birthday, but it started on Wednesday when my Mom stopped by work and gave me a sweater. Then when I checked the mail I had a package from Mylene. Thanks so much Mylene, I love it and your finishing is so neat and beautifully done.

Then Thursday when I got home from work there was a card stuck in my front door, from my sister Carol. She gave me a G.C. to Beads and Something More.

And what a nice surprised when I found my bead work on the home page of StitchN-Chat.

Classes

I did my first two classes (Floating Necklace and Metal Crochet Necklace )at Beads and Something More in Mishawaka, they went very good and everyone seem to have fun in class. Next Saturday's class will be Star Necklace, class is at 3:00.

Beads, wonderful beads!

Wedding

Tracy and Mark are now married. We missed the wedding and thought we missed most of the reception because of work. The reception was suppose to start at 5 and we had to work till 6. We got there about 6:40 and the wedding party wasn't even there yet. LOL!

The DJ had all the married couples come out on the floor for a dance and he would say if you have been married for Blank Time then you can leave the floor. He said 20 years and the couple dancing beside us looked at as like we should be leaving the floor. LOL! But then he skipped to 30 years and we did leave the floor. It was really neat when he said 56 years there was only one couple left and that was the brides Grandparents.

Stitching

After I finished the last CC cat I started on LK Dream. This is what it looks like as of today. I am stitching on 28 count hand dyed material using DMC floss. I am not stitching the boarder ( I learned my lesson on that-If the boarder doesn't add to the picture, then I don't stitch it. Because it just makes it harder to frame) and the background behind the capital letters I am stitching with one strand, half stitches. So it looks more like a background and not standing out with the letters.

Beading Classes

I will be giving beading classes starting in Aug. at Beads and Something More in Mishawaka, IN. If you are close enough to drive I would love to see you there.

Aug 14th at 10:30 am EST will be Floating Necklace. Picture below earrings, necklace, bracelet and anklet. There will be enough time in the class to make several pieces of jewelry.

Aug 14th at 1:00 EST will be Metal Crochet Necklace. Picture below necklace. But you can make a necklace, bracelet or anklet. There will be enough time to make a couple of pieces of jewelry.
