Back from my trip and new bracelets

I made it back home after more than a week away. I don't leave again until next Monday. I have a class to teach in Placerville on the 9th. This is the project that I'm teaching. It's made from a gourd and I call it the Jeweled Leaf Bowl.



I spent most of the first days in bed with the flu, along with my grandson and daughter. Good thing her husband was away and that her bed was big enough for us sickies. We did some art, Bubbies (that's me) got on the skateboard with the kids several times (no pics to prove it, though), and I hit up a neat craft store, a bead store, and a cool little gallery called the Shabby House.


Here are a couple of projects that I worked on: A Dogwood Blossom pendant



And one of the two bracelets that I finished in Boise:



Here's the promised picture of my niece, Teagan Rose, and also my grandson Jake.

  4. Precious kiddles. Makes you smile just to see them. Are you on one of those Women's Vitamin Energy Packs? I might get this much done in two weeks. That gourd is amazingly beautiful and Love the nostalgia of the button bracelet. I'll bet it has a wonderful sound too.
    Thanks for the sweet comments about James. I'm anxious to hear about your record idea.
