Girl time!

It has been totally crazy around here for a few weeks. Kojak finally got started working which relieved a little stress. But then I started the Fall semester and Haley started Kindergarten which added some stress. Mom was losing her job and struggling with what to do.....MAJOR Stress. Well, Haley and I are both getting into the groove of things and Mom's situation has resolved itself for the good. So, to celebrate our stress, de-stress, stress and lessened stress Mom and I decided to do something together this past Saturday. We settled on doing some "bead therapy". We have a place here in the county that hold classes on how to make certain pieces of jewelery. Saturday they had a class on a bird's nest ring that I had seen in there before. So, here's what we made.


One with turquoise beads and the other with an amber color.


Mom's two....one with a pretty stone bead and the other with green glass beads.

Tina took me to class a coulpe weeks ago and we learned how to make a really awesome beaded bead bracelet (picture below). These are the rings that I made at home to go with them.

Bird nest again.


Okay, these are the bracelets that I learned a couple weeks ago and then I taught Mom.


This is the set that she made. Very pretty reds and purples.

NOTE: My nail polish is purple Not black......I only wear black on Tuesdays......JK!!!!!
