Sidetracked Again!

I dashed & stashed & survived the party, now I need to find it all & put it all away. Yea, right! And now, once again, instead of doing what I should & work on the suede challenge, I decided to create a bracelet & earrings (reworked from jewelry & other beads I already had) for a wedding I'm going to on Friday. I splurged on a new top to go with a black skirt I already had. Very boring, but I feel the new BLING will make me feel like a million bucks! That is a vintage brooch I got a couple years ago at an antique store & is what inspired me to find beads that kinda matched. I attached it to my white gold chain.

It is very, very hot & humid today, 91F, as it was yesterday. I'm going to work on the little pieces of suede soon, I have a little something in mind. Maybe that will get me going on thinking of something bigger. We meet tomorrow, so I must get busy!

Playing Instead of Doing What I should!

My dd's family birthday party is in a couple days, the house is a reck & the frig is empty! But did I have fun last Saturday & the Thurs. before that! I did a solder art class & a Beadgirl Bootcamp at Briolette Beads & More in Forest Park. For the soldered art, we made mini collages inbetween 2- 1"x3" pieces of glass & learned how to copper tape & solder them together & add a decorative wire top and link to the bottom. I want to do more!

The bead bootcamp taught us stringing & wire techniques as well as tips on tools & design. I came home with 3 pairs of earrings , one necklace, & the knowledge to keep going!

I want to keep playing but the 20 guests coming would appreciate a dining room table to dine at & a birthday cake to sing around. Next week is the No Guilt Art Quilt group gathering & I have nothing yet to share with our suede piece challenge. I just need to get thru the next 4 days, then back to SIDETRACKED RANDOMNESS PLAY!
The other side has the same paper & the words "authentic" "fabulous" & "remember who u are"

The blue ones are for my wonderful sister!
