I spent some time on Friday putting some things together.
These are the stitch markers for the January event at Twisted. I made 16 of each kind; they’re in school colors. I ended up not using the beads that I bought for the project, because they just didn’t look that good! So these are freshwater pearls on the top row, and blue crystals on the bottom row, plus some miscellaneous beads.
I also made a bracelet for a holiday gift (no names! no hints!).
I love this bead; the whole piece was built around it.
And one more gift. The shell in the middle is from our trip this summer.
You can see the sand inside!
That should be a nice souvenir.
Turkey in the oven. I’m using my Dad’s oyster/Chinese sausage/water chestnut fried rice stuffing. He’s been gone since 2001, but I remember him in little ways, always. Baba’s Bed Socks were designed for him, way back when. Mom’s coming for dinner. It’s Thanksgiving preview; she’s going to LA for Thanksgiving!
