Sunday Sundayyyyyy

This is supposed to be the day that our family hangs out together and just does some serious "chillaxin'" but nope....not today.
My daughter got called in to her job. Then hubby got asked to go and help our son-in-law out with a fair going on at the Catholic Church in town. They are having a big carnival and needed extra help with the rides for the children who go to school there. Sooooo here I am.....home....blogging.
I guess I shouldn't complain. Steve (hubby) and our youngest daughter Tay who still lives home with us....and myself....we all got to go to church together at least before everyone had to go and do their own thing. So I am thankful for that.
I just remember the days when the girls were younger. I think as parents we all go through this.
We would wonder....when will they start doing things for themselves.....when will they do this....or that. Or move out.....and then they move out....and we miss them. Then they move back home. And we begin to wonder again. What was I thinking? When is she moving back out? lol I remember years ago just wanting some time for myself....but now when I do get it....I want everyone home.
Is it just me????? Is this normal???? lol
I would love to hear some feedback on this subject.
Wellllll.....I guess I will go and play with my copper wire I got a week or so ago. I have already made some cool looking things. I can't wait until I am good at this. I love the wire....and the beads. SOOOO I guess I will take my own advice that I always give at the end of my blog...and I think that since my family is all out doing what they want to for the day....that I will now also....go and do what I love!

Finally....

For the longest time I have admired those that have the talent to make anything with wire. Especially Jewelry....wire weaving....wire wrapping....wire ANYTHING. So...I am now a member of CoiffuresCommunity and some of the members over there are nothing short of AMAZING.
They have this tremendous talent that makes me sooooo want to be able to do that. You can see their work at the site http://coiffurescommunity.com/ there are many many talented people there. Oh...and if you are a jewelry artisan.....you should look into signing up. Pam...the gal that started all of this is an amazing person. She is very friendly and personable. I love it there.
Wait...where was I???? Oh ok...soooo a few weeks ago I saw a wire cross and thought to myself. That's it....that is what I want to make first. So I searched and searched and SEARCHED for the tutorial or instructions to do this. I found a lot of tutorials...but nothing was really very close to what I had in mind. I knew what it was I wanted to make....but I couldn't find anything even resembling what I had in my head.
I pulled out a bunch of wire right around the same time I was hunting for the DIY link I thought I could find....every night...I would pick up the wire....and play with it....and then put it back down. I did this every day and night for about a week....FINALLY, with my husband sitting next to me on the couch....and the wire sitting on the little table right in front of me while we watched "Wipeout" on ABC....I just grabbed the wire and told him....that's it...I am just going to go for it. And I did....and here is my first wire wove-wrapped up cross. I used Swarovski bi-cone crystals also....let me know what you think....but be gentle.....I did this without instructions and no net...lol....this is my first shot at this.....

I am going to make a chain to go with it. I know it isn't that great. But hey...at least I just went for it. I am happy at that. I made it. I did it. I had the cuts all over my fingers to show for it too lol.

Well....time to get to making some new items for the shop...I listed a few new ones today. Go check them out at http://beadedindulgences.etsy.com/

See ya later
