My desk is full of beads again. I decided to make some bracelets with my pretty beads.
The tub you see on the left is only a smidgen of my bead supply. I love all the colors, and love even more, finding just the right ones to use. There is always a surprise down in the bottom if you dig around.

You can also see I am still working on the flasks, sitting in front of my "Believe" sign.

Go here to see what is going on at Julie's blog. It is the doorway to much activity.

If you look closely, you can see the Christmas tree made out of a music sheet, and I love my "glove in a bottle"

Burano lace

I am so excited to tell everyone about the beautiful Burano lace scarf, that I won by taking a virtual trip to Italy with Dreama. She sent many pictures along the way, even some videos, and had a few contest to win hand painted post cards, and other gift items from Italy. I was the lucky one who won the scarf. It will be perfect for this Texas weather. Sometimes the air conditioned buildings are just too cold.
 You can see Dream's  beautiful work here, and if you want to go on her travels with her, let her know. My scarf is the lightest of gold, green, and purple...Beautiful!

Thank you Dreama!!

I have been in a flurry making cards, among other things of course.
I showed the beginnings of a messy, card making desk 2 weeks ago.
Today, I can say that some of them turned out so well that  I would like to get one in the mail myself!
I love the purple and gold ones, and the square format. The front is acrylic painted squares; tangled with a white Signo pen, as well as writing on the sympathy card. The flowers are watercolor. Be sure to check out Julie's desk, and many others around the world to see what they are doing.

Where did Wednesday go? I had to be at the imaging office for some x-rays which took half a day, so I guess that is where my Wednesday went. Anyway, I want to show what I have been working on this past week.
Frills in Taylor, TX is sponsoring "Bras for a Cause". Local artist and businesses, really anyone with an artistic flair, is decorating a bra to be auctioned off. The money of course will go to breast cancer research.
It promises to be a fun evening with some brave souls modeling the bras. I found a leopard bra, with blue trim, so I decorated it with my tiny hand made flowers in aqua, and lots of bling. Purple beads around the bottom finish it off. Too cute! Of course I titled it "In Full Bloom". It's not too late to see what everyone else is doing. Go to Julie's and have a look around.

Today is Wednesday, and that means we show our desk and what we have been doing in our creative life, along with all the others over on Julie's site here.
I use my own hand made greeting cards for our friends and family throughout the year; I suddenly realized that I was out of cards. I got out all my card making supplies and went to work.

There is a finished one there in the background. It is an acrylic background with white pen used to draw the flowers.

Estate Sales

I love to go to Estate sales. In a way it is sad to see everything being sold off, especially when the old gentleman is sitting there on the sofa while you are going through his things. Estate sales usually have all those "junk drawer" items, which have usually been in hiding for many years, only to be gotten out to get rid of, as well as the antiques etc. We don't have room for any more furniture, but I picked up these pillow cases with beautiful lace edging, that you just don't see any more. I also found a tiny baby fork that matches my sterling pattern. There are no babies in the immediate future, so I might use it in my jewelry making....then again, maybe

not. At least that was my excuse to buy it. :>)

What's On Your Work desk Wednesday?
Hard to believe it is Wednesday so soon.
I have been very busy as you can see by the pictures.
As usual my interest have varied; from flasks to necklaces and back again.
These four flasks will go with me to The Co-op at Gallery Off The Square.
One of the necklaces still needs a little work.
Be sure to go over to Julie's  and see what is new on the Stamping Grounds site.
