Weekend Escapade

Posted under jewelry & socks

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! I sure did! The weather was wonderful. Here’s a shot I got when I went to drop off the local recyclables at the local high school. I believe this is part of the Koko Head Crater, but I think it’s really just a little hill next to it.

After doing our duty to the environment, my mother and I headed into town to check out the Whole Bead Show. I haven’t done any beading in awhile, but I’ve been in the mood for some new earrings. I ended up spending much more then I intended. Isn’t that always the case?

I was much too tired to get any beading done once I got home, but on Sunday I was sufficiently rested to get a couple of pairs done while watching football.

These are made from handmade lampworked beads from The Whole Bead Shop. I just fell in love with the texture of the beads.

These are made with Bali Silver, Swarovski Crystals, and sterling silver chain.

Just so you know, I haven’t abandoned knitting on the wayside like a broken toy. Not at all. In fact, just the opposite. The love affair with Shibui Sock continues.

On the home front, Scheyer continues to grow more and more comfortable with his surroundings. In fact, he even let me pull him onto my lap the other night for some cuddle time. He is a joy and his resilient spirit never ceases to amaze me.

Happy Monday! May your week be filled with stress-free crafty goodness.
