Here is where my time has gone! Sorry for the delays....

This is why I have not been around!  With beading and http://Pinterest.com I have been keeping busy, beading, teaching, working at keeping my head together.  There are many more pics but I think that even Blogland has its' limits.
ENJOY!
Oh, and one of my pieces was published in the August/September issue of BeadWork Magazine!!!  Did you happen to see it?

Spring is Flying By!!!

Spring Flowers!
Some of my spring creations! 





Purple..

...
Another one in purple....

Divine Crosses! 
A Class I took on Saturday by Cristi Prince.  I love her work so much that I am started on my third one.
My first and only loom piece topped off with a Marcia DeCoster centerpiece I made on the 2011 Bead Cruise.
I glued two needle holders together and put a green Rivoli on one end and a pink on the other so I could carry two size of needles with me and not have to search for the 2 separate tubes.
All is well with me.  I am keeping busy with teaching and beading.  I am headed for Raleigh, NC to teach at the Intergalactic Bead Show May 5th and 6th.
Blessings to ALL!

Spring and Summer Have Arrived

I have been working very hard on my recent projects that I thought I would share with you!  The Flowers seem to be a "theme" this year.  I haven't even gotten a name for them yet.   The back side has a hidden bale for a simple chain or even a rope that I have in the back of my mind to make that is interchangeable with other pieces.  I think it will be in shades of greens.  The yellow daisy is one that I made last year and when I found this lovely pink bead it just demanded that I create one in pinks.   

Another flower!
I simply love this bead!  I have heard it called a "platter bill" my hubby thinks they look like teeth.  Whatever their name and origin I love the shape and this rosy color.  Don't you?  I had a bright rosy colored 18mm Rivoli and the crystals so when I found the beads in a shop in Iowa I grabbed all they had! 
 I just finished a bracelet too...ALOT of bling on this square Swarvoski Crystal.
Happy EASTER!  Blessings to all of you,  Sharon

I'm thinkin' "One more day closer to SPRING"

A few works in progress!
 
I am so busy making samples, developing patterns and beading for fun. 
This bracelet is my "SPRING FLING"! 
Love the colors!


The next bracelet is a beginner class that I am teaching at "Garden of Beaden" in Clarkesville, Ga and Bead Bayou in Alpharetta, Ga in March
Just a fun piece that I wanted to do...

I will be teaching this "Key Card Case"
for the March meeting of the
North Georgia Bead Society!!!
This was a contract Business Card Holder for a friend.....
The next one is a "contract" piece I made for my sister to give away as a gift to her dear friend.
It is 2:00AM and I must get some sleep.  This next week is a busy one for me....it's a secret and I can't tell you for now.  Next week I will let you know what is going on.
I love all my blogging friends!
That means YOU,
Sharon
