I heard from my daughter in Portland. She wants to come back...Well, duh. I have'nt got to talk to the little kids at all...I sure miss them. Hopefully things will settle into some kind of routine for them.
I made a "bib statement" necklace that is kind of fun...I used frayed fabric to make rosettes and burned organza to make flowers...Then I filled it in with beads handsewn on....Yes, handsewn....I actually enjoyed doing it. It calmed my mind and my heart...I think the result is fun and I think it would be really pretty with a white button down shirt with it worn on the inside....
This is my first one, a little rough, but fun...I didnt have any glue sticks so I used tacky glue and it is a big giant pain....I did use an adhesive remover to get it off the flowers though and it worked. I just think a glue gun would make the whole process easier.
I also have been making quilt blocks. I won't show them now, but I am doing more sewing...Feels kind of good.
Last of all, I went to a photo editing site, photofunia.com and made a little "rocking out to the sixties" clip......yep that is my face on the body....funny huh?

Love the necklace. The colors are wonderful. I haven't tried one but they look like fun.
Hope your grandkids get settled soon, I know you must miss them so much.
I use a combo of dish soap and sugar to get onion smell off of my hands...works every time.

I've been wanting to burn some flowers one of these days, but haven't gotten to it. You are amazing. I can't seem to get anything done, and you are making project after project. Awesome necklace.
What a beautiful necklace! I noticed that you live in Sunset. We lived in Roy for 15 years.
Cool rockin' out picture!
Have a great day!
Beautiful necklace! Love the colors.
interesting necklace, sounds like you had a pretty good weekend. Hope the grands get settled soon, it's got to be frustrating for you.
I really like the necklace! Hopefully your daughter will figure out what she really wants. Can't wait to see what your quilt blocks look like.
Fun necklace, looks just like you! Can't wait to see the blocks, and hope all falls into place with the kiddo's....
Lovely bright necklace.
Kids no matter how old they are we still worry.

love the necklace ... i have been practicing making those rolled fabric flowers, they are easier with a glue gun, but really burny ... at least my finger tips think so ... you did a wonderful job with them!
That is funny...and I love your necklace..sounds like you are having fun :D
Your necklace is beautiful. So fun to make aren't they?! And I love that site for making funny photos. You look great as a hip 60's singer!
Take care,
