I haven't been around much because my fall got off to a hectic start with a trip to Co. for my neices wedding, and then a visit from my sis and b-i-l, and then my daughter got sick for two weeks and spent a couple of days in the hospital. I'm sooooooo glad things are getting back to normal!
Here's my first peyote tube necklace:

My idea was to make an interchangeable necklace. That short tube comes off, and I want to make another one and embellish it. Seems like I could have some fun making different things to wear with the necklace. The beads are kind of irridized (rainbow?), which you can't really see with the photo. It's much prettier in person. I'd like to put some cones on the end, I think, but I didn't have any. I can always do that later.
I'm pretty happy with my first try!
Here's a millefiori bracelet that someone wanted me to make her. The funny thing was, I'd made the beads and was thinking of making a bracelet with them, using the sterling love knots. Of course, I hadn't gotten around to it, so I was happy that she asked me becuase I'd wanted to do one anyway!

And for those of you that remember Margo, the foster dog, she got adopted by my sis and b-i-l. They'd lost their old dog to cancer, and when I happened to mention that the reason I thought Margo didn't get adopted was because she was just kind of plain looking, I think that tugged on my sister's heart strings. (I always send her pictures and tell her about the foster dogs.) My b-i-l was set on a puppy, until they started talking about how nice it would be to have one that was already housebroken................. They arranged the trip to Co. so that they flew back to Ga. and then rented a car to drive home with Margo. Fortunately, it was love at first sight, all the way around, and she's been in her new home in Ct. for about 3 weeks now and doing great. Since their kids are grown, Margo is the new baby and it sounds like she's going to be spoiled rotten! Jerri
