More Bead Work

From my Mom. I received a package oh, about a month ago from my Mom with very pretty pair of earrings in colors that remind me of the ocean. Also included was a pretty blue and copper twist bracelet with an adorable little matching charm/pendant purse. Today I received the matching necklace to the earrings. These are so light and comfortable it doesn't even feel like you have them on. Very cool Mom! Thank You Very Much. Now everybody can see how you spoil me.

Meet "Mourie" and Her Friend

These were so fun to make. A little time consuming but worth the effort. Again many thanks to Deb Abel for her mouse body pattern and wanting to make the mouse pin cushions in the first place. I can't work as small as she is able to do. A talent I do not posses. Please check out her blog to see her adorable Mourie. I wanted to make a cupcake for Mourie to sit on but it looks more like a footstool. Oh well...I could just hear her say, "Let them eat cupcakes!"
Mourie's friend is on a premade fabric covered box that I had laying around. I have stored a sewing kit in it. I think I will change the contents to something befitting a princess. The fiber I used for her hair had these natural slubs in it that were just perfect for making the ringlets coming down from her up-do. All the rage back in the day.
Now I can put them with the other Marie I did for the Catherine Moore's toy theater challenge last year. Then I'll add my Marie tag from the Marie tag swap. (can't show that just yet) I wonder what Marie Antoinette would say today if she could see all the things that have been created in her name.

An Unexpected Gift

from Sue of Windows Beautiful. I freelance for her. Doing silk floral arrangements, painting this and that, refinishing or touching up frames, fixing damaged items.
Last week I orderd these from one of Sue's accessory lines she has access to and was putting in an order for. Well, I thought I was helping her to reach her minimum order requirement. I just fell in love with these statue platnters. So I placed my order. Oh did she surprise me when she said these were a gift! A gesture of her appreciation of the work that I do for her. The words don't even express the true emotions I felt at that moment. She truely is a very special lady who spoils me rotten. Thank You Sue!
