here is a better view of the longer necklace

2 new necklaces

i have not worn the color red in at least 30 years.....don't know why, just wasn't my color...i have always loved red and black plaid and a few weeks ago found a pair of shoes that were just that and figured it was time to try something new! of course i had to have jewelry to match!
i am in the process of contructing a near twin of the bottom necklace that will be up for sale soon!

fabric book completed!

this is a book that was a suggested project by wanda for a little group of us that meet at the inkspot once a month. i loved, loved, loved working on this! and what a wonderful bunches of women to hang with once a month! all of the beads, buttons, and threads used were vintage.

the last pages and the back cover

happy birthday to my hunny bunny

bill and friends spent the holiday weekend, which was also his birthday at the drag races in indy!

they have done this for over 20 years..... and wow have times changed...they use to go party all night after watching the races all day. now they all are in bed by midnight sleeping and the campfire hot topic discussion this year was comparing medications they are all now on and what is falling apart on their bodies!

eclipse

well, i am a bit late putting these out. max and i were the only ones who were able to peel out of bed to watch the eclipes a couple of weeks ago! i wish my cheapie camera could have picked up the terra cotta shade after it was complete! but i was surprised to be able to caputure these photos!
