Almost 2009!!!!

Happy New Year to each and every one!!!! I have been very busy...I took down and put away all of the Holiday Decorations and I have been miserable every since with a very bad backache. Ugh! While setting or laying around and letting my hubby wait on me I have been working on this lace bracelet. It turned out very Victorian and girly. I used an antique pin that I had purchased a long time ago. It was extremely time consuming! I worked on it four or five days and I am just glad it is done. It is not difficult but just time consuming. The hardest part was finding the end of it. In between times when I just had to have a break I made this simple cross out of crystals and pearls. It is a relaxing thing to create out of a few simple beads and the reward is seeing it come to life in the making. I use two needles and have to weave back and forth to attach it together.

Melissa came over this evening and hooked me up to FACEBOOK! It was so much fun seeing several of my friends from years ago and catching up on their lives. The friends

that had babies when I lived in Des Moines now have grand babies!!! Where did all of the time go? It was only last year, right? Anyway it brought back such good memories and I think I found an old girlfriend has gotten married. I had totally lost her and tonight I found her via computer!
