Got Wine?

Another fun beaded item I make are wine glass charms that hang on a beaded bottle decoration. It's a convenient way to store the glass charms so they are easy to find for your next party and you have a beautifully decorated wine bottle. Here are 2 glass charm/bottle decorations that are up for sale ...

Is it Easter yet?

I have some neat lampwork easter eggs and am finally going to make some into jewelry. Here's a necklace using the easter eggs.

Max is in the house!

So I'm a sucker for a rescue dog and for Westies! And I talked my husband into getting Max - the 1 year old rescue Westie from Westie Rescue of Orange County You can see Max on the adoptable westie pages - unless you're reading this in the future - in which case he should be on the 2010 adopted page. Here is a picture I took of him sleeping with his blanket in my bead room and another of Max and Gino out playing in the yard

He is a little hellion - talks a lot, is a bit too nippy during play, loves to destroy toys, ... Needless to say he's going to need a lot of work to turn him into a better behaved little dog! The nipping part will be the toughest since he mainly does that when he plays with Gino - and they're usually moving too fast for me to time the correction properly. And Gino is just too nice and gentle a dog to correct him unless he gets REALLY nippy or annoying.
