A friend ordered a couple of bracelets from me. She wanted one for herself, and one for a Christmas gift for her s-i-l. While she was going through my beads, she looked at my purple maze beads and said, "I'd like to see what these look like in a bracelet." Well, I'd been meaning to make some into a bracelet for a while, so I guess she gave me the little nudge that I needed. When I showed it to her, she wanted that bracelet too! Then I decided to make another one and some earrings to match:

I really like the bracelet. Very nice colors. The labs are too cute.

Jerri -- when I saw those on auction, I thought "bracelet" also. You did a fabulous job with them!

Oh, the labs are adorable! And the bracelet set is lovely. :)
Lol! I've had a couple of lab/mixes that were very smart. Gotta wonder about some of those purebreds. I think the brains were bred right out of them! My neighbors have a purebred lab, who's gorgeous, but has a one track mind. He just wants to fetch. I take care of him, when they go out of town, and he's a great dog, but just follows you continuously, waiting for the the next throw. I feel like he doesn't hear a word I say, or see the squirrel that runs out in front of him, or anything else. He just watches for that next throw.
Great dogs and wonderful bracelet!!

I agree on that - the pure labs are "fetch fetch fetch" My friend who has the super amazing dog -- has a Mutt - he's 90% black - and looks like he must have Lab in him. I've never seen a dog that knows so many words of the English language - each toy he owns has a different name - and he will bring the one described. If you tell him to "squeak" a squeaker toy- - he will put it on the floor and push it until it squeaks...... He has so many tricks.... he's entertaining! LOL His owner communicates with him constantly.... I suppose most is just tons of "rote" training - but it makes him seem almost human when you talk to him. Because he gives such "REAL" response to you...

Thanks Cheryl,
I some of the bead caps from Nicole, and then I got some more in a bulk buy. Rio Grande also has these and some other styles.

]Labs make good seeing eye dogs, so some are quite smart indeed. (And ]goal-oriented, yeah....)
my brother was telling me the organizations now are crossing Labs with Goldens - they tend to get the calming effect of the Labs and the lack of coat problems.
