A New Bed and Bath and New Beads!!!

Here is our new bathroom and bedroom!! We are so excited how it turned out. I wish I had taken before pictures (but I had NO patience for my camera)...The bathroom used to have pinkish chocolate dark walls and pickled wood cabinets...didnt it turn out nice!!!



Here is our new bedroom!! The walls used to be dark burgundy and everything else was burgundy and gold....I love the new colors..it really softens the room :)

This first pic are of the beads from yesterday....I wasnt happy with the photos and I dont think you guys were impressed with them either...they are really beautiful beads and I am trying to capture them for you!

Here are the new disk sets....fun colors!!!
And last, but not least...here is a set of "berry" beads....Hope you guys like them!

Here are the beads that I made on Thursday....hope you guys like them. I made more sets this morning that I will have posted either tonight or tomorrow. This top set is some funky disks with 3 matching rounds.


These 3 sets are made up of some abstract pebbles....they have great subtle irregular surfaces!

Battery woes and beads :)

Hello!! It seems I have not been able to stay on top of things for the past...what...3-4 months I would guess??? I hope all of you are still out there....sorry I have totally neglecting my blog and beads!!! I was able to make a few sets on Tuesday night and made 4 more sets tonight that I am excited about sharing with you all. I have been having camera issues....I love my camera, but it will not take "regular" batteries.....you have to buy those high power batteries that look like regular batteries but apparently have more "kick" to them. I have had the same 4 batteries now for about 2 years and well...they just wont keep a charge anymore....long story short, I bought new high power batteries, charged those babies up...and nothing....no power to my camera :( I'm not sure what is wrong, but I need to take it all to my trusty (but not close by) Ritz camera store and see if they can figure it out....I'm hoping it's just my charger.....here is the one problem with that theory though....I put the old batteries in the charger tonight....charged them till the green light came on....and they powered up my camera just long enough to take a few pictures of a set of beads I made for my dear friend Kristen (long enough for 3 pictures to be exact) grrrrrr...I'm so ready for everything to work like I want it to!!!

Well....anyway, here are the beads. I had to take the pictures indoors because it's dark outside. I hope you like them Kristen!!! I think they will go perfectly with your new beautiful sunflower set!

Have a great evening everyone....I promise to get more pictures up of the 4 sets I made tonight by Saturday (when I have daylight) even if I have to charge my batteries several times!!!!

Happy New Year!

I have wonderful news to start off the new year!!! My baby, Scott and I celebrated the New Year on the Waterfront at a hotel in DC....it was a wonderful time and they threw a great party!! A little after the ball dropped, Scott asked me to marry him!!! I was so surprised and excited!!!! Sorry about the grainy picture...if I would have know what a memorable night it was going to be I would have brought my good camera.
We are planning on a destination wedding in one of our favorite spots in Mexico!! I hope all of you had a wonderful New Year...I have a feeling that 2009 is going to be spectacular!!!! I'm back in business with my beads and will post pictures soon....just wanted to share my exciting news :) :)

God Bless!
