http://etsyhookers.blogspot.com/The Etsy Hookers team is having a creative challenge, "a walk of the wild side." I entered my crochetted and felted monkey, Mel. Voting is now open and you can vote now until next Monday, June 15th noon EST. Please vote early and often...

I had a another beading workshop on Monday night. This is my work in progress-- isn't it nifty? The stitch is a double St. Petersburg Chain, and the bottom of the pendant is going to have lots of beaded fringe when I'm finished getting the length of the chain to where I want it...

A few weeks ago, I finally got my Christmas present! Its a Trek 2.1 road bike. We've been having pretty schizophrenic weather these past weeks and whenever its been good biking weather, we've had guests over, or been out of town, so I didn't get to ride it until last weekend...

Meet Peggy, a perky pink pig just listed in my Etsy Shop . My neice and nephews are always asking for handmade pets, and Peggy was a request from my neice...

I have a lot of beads...

First of all, Happy New Year's everyone! Hope everyone had a great holiday season, happy Kwanza, Solstice, Boxing Day and et al. :) Christmas was good, we went up to Eric's parents, the kids got a Wii, so Eric and I are off the hook for bringing ours up everytime we visit...

My husband is turning 35 this week. Because it is also Thanksgiving, I decided to have his birthday celebration last weekend. What do you get someone that has just about everything and really doesn't need anything (except a new car, but, not a real need, more of a want)? I got him friends...

I guess it has! Time flies when you're having fun, and fall seems to be the busiest time of the year. We've had football games to go to, we were in California for a week for an eye conference and visit with the family...

At long last, I'm posting pics of the glass Witches Balls that I made. I ended up going to two workshops because the first time around, someone took some of mine, and the others didn't turn out the way I had hoped. So, I went last Friday and had to miss Eric's Graduate Studies Barbeque.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts for my mother in law! They let her out of the hospital last Thursday and continues to do well. Still no idea how it all happened, but the good thing is that she's okay now. Last weekend, my sister in law and her family came down to visit...

Sorry to post a blog without a picture, but its been a bad week! My mother in law was admitted to the hospital on Saturday because she was losing blood somehow. She's on the mend, although they still don't know what caused the bleeding in her small intestine...

One of the nice things about living in Ohio is that we usually don't have too many natural disaters. Earthquakes are next to nonexistant (I think I felt one years ago, but it could have been a truck driving by!) and I've lived in California and been through some major earthquakes...

Scarlett has been rather acrobatic lately! I caught her scaling the fridge last night and actually had my camera handy to catch my mountain goat of a cat in the act. Last time I caught her, she had actually climbed up to the space above the cabinets, up where the teapot is in the picture...

Buckeye football officially started on Saturday. Of course, we went to the slaughter, umm, I mean game. The Buckeyes trounced Youngstown State 43-0. It was Alumni day as well, and its always so cool seeing four 'script Ohios' on the field...
