At the end of last Fall I found these great carved stone beads (Jasper I believe) that looked just like pumpkins and Fall gourds. I decided it was time to start making for Halloween and Fall and had a fun filled evening making 13 pairs of earrings! I used a mix of colors and everything from sterling silver, to gold and silver plated and warm copper! Here are a few from last night:

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend, celebrating our independence and being with friends and family! We had a wonderful BBQ with my parents and a quiet weekend at home. Friday I was lucky enough to hit a sale for some great new furniture for my beading/craft area! I feel so much more organized now and have ample space for new beads!

I spent many long hours Friday night setting this all up, so come today, Sunday I was able to relax and make my first new pieces in my great cozy work space! CLICK ON THE PHOTOS FOR LARGER VIEW

Here we are in May already! I have been busy with many areas of my business and lfie, but little creating! I did manage to make a few new lampwork glass beads, two cats, and a pretty set of coral frit beads I used in a bracelet below!

I just ordered some lovely new glass frit from BeadGoodies.com and can't wait to try them out! I have also ordered lots of new copper findings due to arrive any day! I have lots of ideas in my head, hopefully this week I will get a few of them created! Here are the beads and bracelet:
