Big News

At least I think it's big news, kind of scary and very exciting. Today is the first day of my new 4 day work week. My regular extra day off will be Monday, I hope it's going to free up alot of creative time for me as well as time to take better care of myself and do things I never have time to do any more. I've got to work even harder to make sure I provide lots of wonderful goodies that people like so I can make it work. After nearly 12 years in this job, 40 hours a week, it feels like a big step to cut my hours even by 1 day.

So today, I hope to list lots of goodies I've had stacked up over the last couple of weeks. Plus the batch I fired last night. My first listing on my brand new day off are these lovely leaves, I've had them made for quite some time and decided this was a good time to share them!

Don't forget about the Bead Soup Blog Hop Party, I'm still working through the list myself. My goal is to do about 40-50 per day so it's gonna take awhile. I'll have a BSBP 2011 Page/Tab at the top of my blog for at least the next couple of months so if you loose track of the list it's there for you.

Bead Soup Blog REVEAL

No more teasing, it's finally here!!!

I have an awesome Blog partner in Jennifer Cameron of GlassAddictions!

I also have well over 300 Bead Soup Partners playing along.

I'm just gonna reveal the 2 items I made with Jenny's Soup Ingredients

I'll start with the earrings and I have to say I am in love with the beads she made for me, I want more!!

Jenny, did you hear me, consider this my order for more of these amazing beads.

I paired them with some of my Copper Ammonite squares,

I love the way they turned out.

Now for the necklace, the earrings weren't a big stretch for me but the necklace was.

 I tried to go a little crazy with the color and somewhat a symmetrical design, I hope it worked.

Be sure to check out all the other participants.

I'll have a Tab/Page at the top of my blog available whenever you visit my blog.

Take your time, there are alot of wonderful reveals to get through,

 take your time savor the soup over the next few weeks.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed my Soup!

Bead Soup Teaser

WOW, the big reveal is tomorrow.
 Gotta finish my main piece and try to make at least one more.

 Getting nice pictures without any decent light between now and tomorrow is my biggest challenge. Fortunately I took a few preliminary shots of an unfinished piece to use as my teaser.

There is a Tab/Page at the top of my blog with all the BSBP 2011 participants and links to their shop, I'll leave it up there for a long time because it will take a long time to get through well over 300 participants!!

My partner is Jennifer Cameron of Glass Addictions,
 she sent me some awesome stuff!!

Prepare to be teased!!

Party is tomorrow Sept 17, see you all then!!!
