Caught Up

Gees where do I start? It's been a while...New Patterns

All patterns can be purchased at ZaneyMay's.

This is my very first beaded embroidery, it is called Lattice Flower Cuff Bracelet, made with seed beads, jade flower, glass flowers and leaves.


Double Cone Bracelet, made with seed beads, fire polished beads and double cone beads using right angle weave.


Crystal Snowflake Bracelet made with seed beads, bicone crystals and fire polished beads.
Started a Facebook page ZaneyMay. Check it out and it would be great if you "Liked" it.
Also reopened my shop at ArtFire. I decided giving it one month was not fair when I gave Etsy over a year.

Pool Season

It's officially over! This is the first year that I was looking forward to the end of the season. Closed the last pool and took down an above ground pool. The owners of the above ground pool was going south for the winter and they wanted the pool down and out of there before they left. So, I now have an above ground pool that is in storage for Dara and Kayden. Dara and Brandon are talking about buying a house next year. That should be good for a couple of birthdays and Christmas. LOL! While we were waiting for the pool to drain, we went in town to get a cup of hot chocolate and then we went to an antique shop. I have collected milk glass since I was a little girl going to yard sales with my Mom and Grandma C. and I found this set still in the original box! And a few other things.


Charm Necklace

This charm and beads were in the goodie bags from the beading retreat I went to at the end of Sept. I made a cute little necklace with them. I'll be giving this to a friend. Can't say who, she might read this post.


Kayden my sweet grandson, helping me made a cake. He comes over as much as he can and when he gets here, he tells his Mommy to leave.


Halloween

My sister Mary gave me this witch for Halloween. My one and only trick or treater-Kayden or I mean Iron Man





Knitting

My name is Debra and I am not a knitter! I had about 12-15 inches knitted in my shawl and I ripped it all out. Started over and had about 5 inches done and had to rip it out too. It was just too frustrating for me.
So now I am trying crocheting, this is all have have done so far.

Cross Stitching

Still working on Hang Ten by Raise the Roof, just finished another page. I now have 4 pages done and two more pages to go!!!



Well that's about it for me. I hope all is well with you and yours.
Tomorrow I will be leaving for the Hoosier Stitchers Fall Retreat. WooT!

Beading Classes

Beading Classes

I starting giving beading classes at Heartland Artists Gallery. This was the third class I did. We made Simple Bracelet. Picture of students bracelets made in class. Everyone was very happy with their bracelet. It's been fun teaching the different weaving methods.



Another picture from Cyndi a happy customer.

New Patterns

Snowflake Pin, made with seed beads, fire polished beads and bicone crystals.

Crystal Snowflake Earrings, made with fire polished beads, seed beads and bicone crystals.

I am working on a Crystal Snowflake Bracelet, hope to have it done soon.


Knitting

Had a few questions about my knitting class, I took the class at the local senior center, the class was free and open to all ages. So, if you would like to learn knitting be sure to check out your local senior center.

I returned the yarn, bought new and started a shawl. Not sure if I am doing the pattern right, but it is looking much better. I just might have a picture to show next week.

Well, that was my week, hope you had a good one.
