I borrowed Sherry's hand to take a picture of the beaded rings I have made the last couple days...I used size 11 seed beads...I also made the bracelet from the green and clear seed beads and odds and end piece of other beads I have collected...Sherry and I stopped at Lowe's on our way home yesterday...I needed some tools for jewelry making..a revolving vice and a C clamp..and we picked up screws and nuts for my design wall out of a 4 by 8 sheet of insulation.(I think that is what is called)....Sherry and I are going to hang this week in my sewing studio..When checking out the saleslady told me she loved my bracelet...of course I swelled up with pride and told her I made it and that Sherry made the one she had on...I know, Mom, pride goes before a fall...sorry but I must tell the truth...I love praise...Mom tried to give me the right upbringing but now that I am in my 2nd childhood it is "Katie bar the door"...

God help us, you won't be fit to be around now, but we'll love you anyway. I'll have to admit, not to shabby for someone who SWORE they would NEVER make jewelry.
We are a group of women of different personalities and ages who blend together to make for an interesting and fun group. Our group is dedicated to creating art using various textiles and other mediums. Our interests include sewing, knitting, quilting, doll making, purse making, felting, beading, jewelry making, stained glass, glass blowing, glass fusing, mosaics, and altered books. We share our ideas and our time, to create items that are unusual, traditional and fun. Our fun meter is more important than our gas meter. We fill it at least once a month during our monthly meeting where we have show and tell to show projects we've completed, talk about new projects and share ideas. And the food!! As textile artists we are such lucky people. We find pleasure in simple things; the colors of hand-dyed fabrics, a spool of lustrous thread—we almost hyperventilate when we go through the door of a bead store! How fortunate we are to have passion to create and to achieve such satisfaction in what we do.
