Earring Challenge - Week 1
I'm a little behind on posting about my earrings on the January earrings challenge from beading daily, so here's my earrings. It's been more challenging to get pictures posted than to actually make the earrings.

Bead Soup Party Time #5
Well the 5th Bead Soup Blog Party is here. I was lucky to be one of 200 participants, that were chosen lottery style. My partner this time around is Jennifer from Kanna Glass Studios
I am so excited about this swap, she sent me a gorgeous bead soup, many of the pieces she made herself. I hope that she likes what I have sent her. I don't make my own beads at the moment, but I hope to someday be able to give beads that I have created myself. I hope she finds my selection challenging and fun.

A New Challenge
Well 2012 is just around the corner and I've signed up for yet another challenge (it keeps my mind young).
This time I'm joining Beading Daily's bead-along: Earrings everyday for January.
If anyone would like to join me you can find the challenge here http://www.beadingdaily.com/content/Bead-Along.aspx.
So that's 31 pairs of different earrings. Are you up for a challenge? Hmm, I think I need to get my ears pierced.

Halloween 2011
This isn't my normal post on my jewelry, but I was thrilled with the results and just had to share. I made my kids costumes this year.
My youngest son is autistic and rarely asks me for anything. This year he asked to be a smurf. So after looking at many costume sights, and finding it sold out, I gave up and made it. I did not even have a bought pattern. I had to make up my own out of an old Halloween costume that was two sizes too small. The gloves and booties I bought at a dollar store. To get the blue face makeup I added blue eye shadow to white base clown makeup. I think it came out pretty good. As a matter of fact everyone thought I bought it at the store.
My older son wanted a homemade costume too. I bought the shirt and the shorts that were too big, so that it would work with the cardboard head. I covered it in construction paper and he drew the face. I made the odd shape tie out of cardboard and cloth. He got an amazing amount of compliments for the costume. They both had a great time.
