She is the talented ands really cool....</span><a href="http://cuttergazette.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Sherri Levinton of Cutter Gazette.</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> She is extremely versatile and I can not even begin to imagine how she finds the time to do all the things she does. We do seem to have a great deal in common from our initials to the fact that we both have boys the same age, and we are both red headed. One of the things Sherri does that I just love is the </span><a href="http://thehoustonbabyplanner.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Baby Planner</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">. How exciting it must be to work with a couple on making everything ready for a new baby....I love it! She graduated from the NY Institute of Art and Design, and can also help you design the rest of your house not just the nursery. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">She is a great jewelry designer and also seems to be an expert in paper crafting and scrap booking.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">There have been a few changes in our house. I have started working after almost 10 years....wow that is a long time. Right now it is just part time. Our boys attend a small K3-12 the grade private Christian school. We absolutely love it and this year I am serving on the board. This has been a wonderful experience.

<span style="font-size: large;">time teaching first grade reading, writing, spelling, and math. For those of you that don't know I am a certified teacher. I started in January and really love it. I have a small class with only 7 students. Makes it a fun group. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My Husband and I started a non-profit organization </span><a href="http://huntingforthecure.org/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Hunting For The Cure</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> about 2 years ago and it is really doing great.

<span style="font-size: large;">I have suffered from back pain for several years and it has gotten worse. I also have this past year or two been having various other pains and issues. I finally went to see a pain specialist and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I have begun some new medications and although things are not great they are better. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When Lori posted that it was time to sign up for the <a href="http://lorianderson-beadsoupblogparty.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">BSBP</a> again I thought oh I think I will just sit this round out.... well.... that did not happen. Lori has assigned partners and I have been in contact with mine and will introduce you to her this week....I hope. </span><br />

I know some of you out there in the big blog world are shocked to see that I have finally posted a new blog post. It has only been 6 months....not THAT long, LOL! I had a really busy summer with the family and both the boys are now in school. When <a href="http://thestudiosublime.com/">Sally Russick</a> made the announcement that she would be hosting a cabochon blog hop I thought this is just the thing to get me back to blogging and participating in challenges, hops, etc.</div>

I did start a design, I just have not finished it yet.</div>

I made the cabochon with resin. It is a faux dicroic glass. In the picture it is really difficult to see how pretty it really is. I back stitched it to some Lacey's stiff stuff and then did the suede backing in black. I did a netting stitch around the cab. I plan on making the chain of the necklace using St. Petersburg stitch.<br />

As you can see in the above picture, I already started these smaller cabs, and planned on using them with this design, not sure if that is still going to happen. I now see the focal piece with just a simple black stitched rope/chain of some sort. </div>

Please visit all the participants, I am sure they all have beautiful creations. I will post pictures of mine once completed. Thanks to Sally for getting in back in the groove, although it is a slow process, I suppose it is a start.</div>

I once again decided to participate in <a href="http://www.%20marshellswaps.%20blogspot.com/">Shelly and Marlene's Holiday Blog Hop</a>, this is the third and I have done all three. They really are such fun. This time around I was partnered with the lovely Tiffany Smith of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Southern-Gals-Designs/270561296406029">Southern Gals Designs</a>. Tiffany makes wonderful ceramic pieces. For those of you that are owl fans you have to go check them out....so cute! </div>

Tiffany and I decided that we were going to make each other Valentine's themed jewelry. She made me a really cute bracelet with a ceramic heart she made, and matching earrings. I just love them. If you want to see please visit her blog.</div>

I have been in a bit of a rut and have been having a difficult time with things. I really needed this to get me going again. I utilize a variety of techniques in my jewelry making but bead weaving is by far my favorite. Since Tiffany does not bead weave this was perfect. I flipped through my huge stack of magazines and found some patterns I really liked....was not really so out of the rut that I was going to come up with an original design, and these are really pretty. </div>

The bracelet is a free bracelet design by<a href="http://www.trytobead.com/"> Sabine Lippert</a> called Mingles. I used Swarovoski bicone crystals and glass pearls. </div>

The earrings are from a bracelet design by <a href="http://www.npbeading.blogspot.com/">Nancy Peterson</a> called pretty picots. Instead of doing them all for the bracelet I just did the one unit and made earrings. I think they are perfect with this bracelet. I also made Tiffany a bead woven Medallion pendant that is designed by Marcie Abney of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/labellajoya">La Bella Joya</a>. This was a fun pendant to make. I really hope Tiffany enjoys what I made for her.

Well that week the entire family was SICK with the flu. It was just miserable. When I first received her prompt I thought oh what a wonderful excuse to get a pedicure, but no that did not happen. We finally started feeling better by Friday/Saturday. On Sunday my Husband and I were invited to go to the Atlanta Falcons Championship game in Atlanta. Having two small boys it is not too often that we get to go out and do fun things with other adults, life just has a way of getting in the way. I am sure many of you can relate. Well we went, had a good time and that is my piece of time for myself. <br />

Week four: Create Art<br />
My creation of art involves Jewelry making and I feel like I do not get to do it often enough, so this goes hand in hand with taking time. This week I set up my enameling station and torched some beads. I also did some bead weaving and am in the process of making a bracelet. <br />

Part of a heart, still have to do the back side. <br />
As you can tell I have a difficult time just starting one project, getting it done and moving on, I often do a few at a time.<br />

This will be my third time. I am participating again for several reasons. <br />
1. I love the challenge, receiving something unexpected, perhaps something I would not buy for myself. <br />

<br />
Like this really cool bead by Lisa Boucher, which inspired me to create something very out of my element.<br />

<br />
Receiving things made by my partner, like this beautiful bead by Michelle Escano-Cabellero of <a href="http://cabbycraft.blogspot.com/">http://cabbycraft.blogspot.com/</a> . <br />

With this bead I created a necklace that my Mom LOVES!<br />

<br />
I received this pretty bead from Sara Oehler of <a href="http://softflexgirl.blogspot.com/">http://softflexgirl.blogspot.com/</a> When I first saw it I would never have imagined that I would create this really cool necklace. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So you can see that I really do love the challenge and excitement of getting cool things from my partner. <br />
<br />
2. I love seeing all the wonderful things others create. I would love to add some pictures of some of my favorite pieces from the past hops but I would not be able to give the artists their due credit.<br />
<br />
3. Making new friends. Sometimes it feels as if some of the people I have met through this blog hop and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/BeadSoupCafe/">FB group</a> seem like instant friends and kindred spirits. One of those people is the extremely talented Michelle Escano-Cabellero of <a href="http://cabbycraft.blogspot.com/">http://cabbycraft.blogspot.com/</a>. If you visit her blog you can see some of the amazing things she had made. She does some stunning things with polymer clay and makes the coolest cards. This week I received this amazing ornament that I commented on in her blog. She is so sweet and generous. I love it and will cherish it. I can't wait till it can hang from my tree at Christmas!<br />

When I sign up for challenges, etc. I usually go ahead and do a blog post that has the title of the blog and set it on a schedule to post on the morning of the reveal. Last night while in bed with my fever and achy body it dawned on me that my post was going to show up in blog world at 6am with only a title. I jumped on the kindle and moved the post till 6pm, thinking I would do it first thing in the morning. Well being sick I did not get out of bed until close to 2pm today. My sweet Husband, who is sick too, stayed home and took care of our sick 2 year old. I got up and took Jacob to school and got back in the bed. I could not believe how late it was when I actually got back up. We then went and picked Jacob up from school and Mommy duties stepped in. As a parent your job never ends, sick or not. I am praying that Jacob will continue to evade this nastiness that is going around in our house. Well with our further ado here is my reveal....<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The challenge was to create a piece using this triangle and some free-form peyote bead weaving.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAZO3PQWoMqQILBWBPIxGCW4KGKWjK0OQqJiQSkOjJ7h2E5TRK4INx1Mf5cLRZlyyuPP-7F0Fql-phXpl-65nOJv6-dSly3t7maeQm689ImnWP91i4ECG5bSOxVf6wlfI8tdJXXNKOBTw/s1600/cer+tri1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_6mxgc9="2" closure_uid_a8o2if="2" height="385" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAZO3PQWoMqQILBWBPIxGCW4KGKWjK0OQqJiQSkOjJ7h2E5TRK4INx1Mf5cLRZlyyuPP-7F0Fql-phXpl-65nOJv6-dSly3t7maeQm689ImnWP91i4ECG5bSOxVf6wlfI8tdJXXNKOBTw/s400/cer+tri1.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
I was not sure what I was going to do and my first thought was to make a necklace. Part way in and I changed my mind to making a bracelet. I learned how to bezel around the triangle bead. It took me about 6 or maybe even 8 times, but I DID IT!!! I am so proud of myself and have the bug to bezel around more and more things.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was after doing this part on the right that I realized that my piece was not going in the direction of a necklace.</div>

<br />
Finished piece on my wrist. I really like the way it turned out. For my second time, not bad. So much better than my first attempt at free-form.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This week our prompt was our word or resolution for 2013. I thought and thought about what my word should be and tossed around several words that sort of fit into the word I finally choose.....SIMPLIFY!</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>This past year there were many times that I felt very stressed and that I just was too overwhelmed so I think Simplify is perfect. When I think about what I can do to make things more simple or what I do already on a daily basis that is simple the first thing that comes to mind is loving my family. .After God they are my primary focus anyway and I do LOVE them with all that I am. So I thought I would share some pictures of them with you.<span lang="EN"></span></em><br />

For those that know me would think that having to take a picture of myself would have me running for the woods, face covered. I really do not like to have a picture taken, but I know there are so many of you out there that feel the same way. I am sure many of the other people that are participating in this photo journey also do not want to take their pictures. If they can do it, so can I! Sally told us in her prompt that we should not worry about taking our pictures and focus on the beauty within us all. I agree with her. I always look for the beauty in people. There are so many people that do not think they are attractive or have an issue with something about themselves, but really they are beautiful! Of course I don't feel this way about myself......but here goes.<br />

My very first thought was I will get a picture of me from the rear that way they do not have to see my face and I do like my hair. I then decided that was just not totally right. I am still including this picture because this does show a great deal about me. The majority of the time I wear my hair in a pony tail.<br />

There you go! Of course I do not like this picture but hey it was the best I could</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
do. I look a lot like my Mother. I often tell people that if they saw my Mom on the street they would know she was mine because I look just like her. I really see my Mom in this picture. </div>

Last year was an extremely stressful year. I am not saying that it was bad, it just made me feel tired. We had several changes in our family, some good and then some not so good. We moved out to the country full time. This is one of the really positive things that took place during 2012. I love the small school my son, Jacob attends. I love that my boys will grow up learning about wildlife and working on the land. <br />
<br />

<br />
The biggest negative to living in the country is the skunks.....yuck, and the snakes. The above picture was taken from my car.<br />
<br />
2012 was a good year for my Jewelry making. I participated in many more blog hops and challenges. I really enjoyed this, although there were a few times that I did feel a bit overwhelmed and thought to myself I need to stop for awhile. I even thought that my only blog hop for 2013 would be the <a href="http://lorianderson-beadsoupblogparty.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">BSBP.</a> It is now 2013 and there is no way this will be my only hop/challenge.<br />
<br />
I have one that will be revealed on the 14th of January, my <a href="http://dreaminofbeads.blogspot.com/2012/12/head-to-head-december-update.html" target="_blank">Head to Head Challenge</a> with my great friend <a href="http://sweetfreedom-designs.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sweet Freedom.</a> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
I am also participating in the <a href="http://artjewelryelements.blogspot.com/2013/01/earring-challenge-eye-candy.html" target="_blank">Art Jewelry Elements earring challenge,</a> and the <a href="http://thestudiosublime.com/2013/01/04/focusing-on-life-week-one/" target="_blank">The Studio Sublime's focusing-on-life-2013.</a><br />
<br />
The <a href="http://artjewelryelements.blogspot.com/2013/01/earring-challenge-eye-candy.html" target="_blank">Art Jewelry Elements earring challenge</a> involves making a pair of earrings a week using art beads or elements. These can be items from another artist or yourself. You just need to list who made the are beads or elements. This challenge is for the entire year, but it is broken down into quarterly sections so you can do 13 weeks or more. We will reveal on Sunday's every two weeks. This means you get to see 2 pairs of earrings from me. The first reveal date is January 20th. I choose to participate in this because I often struggle making earrings and want to grow.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://thestudiosublime.com/2013/01/04/focusing-on-life-week-one/" target="_blank">The Studio Sublime's focusing-on-life-2013.</a> I have joined this a week late, but will catch up. Sally from The Studio Sublime will email all the participants a photo prompt. We then have a week to capture our picture and it will be posted on Saturday. This will last the entire year. You will be able to see moments of our lives for 52 weeks. I am really excited about doing this. <br />
<br />
Well this is a great way to welcome in 2013 and say goodbye to 2012!<br />

This time I was paired with the extremely talented <a href="http://kepirasmussen.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Debbie Rasmussen</a>. She makes stunning bead woven items so I knew that I would receive something really great from her. We exchanged some emails and got to know each other a bit. I learned that she really likes copper and warm tones. I also do some bead weaving so I did not want to send her something that I felt she could make herself. So I went about creating a necklace, bracelet, and earring set using copper. I made an asymmetrical necklace using some of my enamel beads and copper chain. I made a bracelet with lots of dangles (one of my favorite styles) also used some of my enamel beads and them some earrings to match. The necklace clasp is made with a S hook and is adjustable.</div>

Jeannie makes such beautiful and amazing creations using polymer clay and you can find them her in her <a href="http://jkdjewelry.com/windowstosoul.html" target="_blank">shop.</a> In her<a href="http://site.jkdjewelry.com/blog/echo-creative-club/" target="_blank"> Echo Creative Club</a> she sends you a piece and you then use it to design something. I received this beautiful pink Gin Blossom. I LOVE it! <br />

I wanted to keep the design fairly simple so as not to take too much away from the focal piece. I decided to do a Russian spiral weave. I also stitched the toggle clasp and added a bit of fringe. <br />
<br />

When I join a blog hop I always make sure that my post is ready and I schedule it to post at 12:30 am the day it is due. Well.....life got in the way! Thursday and Friday I had a sick and cranky 2 year old and then yesterday with his fever it was a REALLY CRANKY day and with Mom not feeling so hot herself it was not a good day! So anyway her is my post....better late than never I say.<br />
<br />
Amy of <a href="http://copperdiem.blogspot.com/">http://copperdiem.blogspot.com/</a> is our wonderful hostess and found this awesome organization <a href="http://www.earstoyou.org/" target="_blank">Ears to You</a> . They provide free earrings to women undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. She decided that since this was such a giving and easy way to brighten a woman's day why not ask some of her like minded friends to help out and make some earrings. Her rule was for us to make 3-5 pairs or more of earrings to send to the organization and share with each other what we made. <br />
<br />
Here are my earrings. <br />

<strong><span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I made a fall inspired leaf necklace. The center part is cubic right angle weave and then I added the leaves and Czech beads. I used some beautiful jasper roundel beads, two beads I enameled and copper chain.

<span style="color: blue;">It is time for me to reveal another blog hop....this one is hosted by <a href="http://theresestreasures59.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Therese Frank</a> and <a href="http://onekisscreations.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Christine Altmiller</a>. This is A Time to Stitch 2 hop and it features Right Angle Weave and St. Petersburg Chain. The rules are pretty simple: make something using Right Angle Weave or make something using St. Petersburg Stitch. </span><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="color: blue;">I did a basic right angle weave base and added a layer of fringe that is right angle weave too and added the daggers for more drama. To make this elegant evening necklace I used black Czech firepolish beads, size 11 seed beads and black daggers. I am going on a cruise in December and think this will be perfect for one of my dresses. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;">I also did a lariat that used several stitches. St. Petersburg stitch and a chevron stitch make up the main parts of the lariat and they are joined together using a ladder stitch, the pieces that make the three inside fringe portions use right angle weave and straight fringe. The beads on the end of my fringe are enamel beads I made. For the clasp I used circular peyote stitch. This is a design by Kelley Wiese and she called it Royal Chains Lariat. It was in <a href="http://www.beadingdaily.com/blogs/beadwork/default.aspx" target="_blank">Bead Work magazine</a> issue Oct/Nov 2009. I have wanted to do this necklace since I first saw the pattern way back when but I did not know how to do St. Petersburg or Chevron stitch. This was my first time doing the Chevron stitch, really easy and stitches up fast. I really love the way this piece turned out. I think I will do it again in lighter colors.</span></div>
