Clever kid

I've been sorting beads and making a few more wine charms lately. 

Little J always wants to get in on the act with me. This morning she comes up with this wine glass charm! 

It's my new favorite of all time.

I never would have seen that in those beads. 

Her mind works so much differently than mine. That's why she's a master Lego builder too.

Me...not so much.

 

Craft expo

I'm gearing up to participate in my first Craft Expo. I'm very excited!! I'm about 6 weeks out from it but I know how fast time goes. 

Over the weekend I made a bunch of wine charms. Then all I needed was a label. I wanted something wine themed so I went in search of images. Inspiration struck when I walked through our family room. 

Why not use my painting?!? 

A little help from photoshop and my label was complete.

I'm thinking about Christmas as well....

I saw this on Pinterest and knew I wanted to try it.

One of my chandelier bulbs recently burned out so now it has a new blinged out life.      

 

More wine charms

I made a few more last night.

I ran out of gold memory wire and my index finger was killing me so I had to quit. I do have some very plain memory wire but I like to cover that completely with beads since it's not as shiny and pretty as the gold.

Wine charms, chili and snow..oh my.

After getting dressed this morning I decided to accessorize, something I rarely do, and put on this bracelet. It got me thinking about beads, so since I had the time I made these wine charms.

The chili feast was a success. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures. The ones that were taken are either blurry or have too many people that I don't have permission to post pictures of. Our neighbors have the perfect house for this large group so we could hardly tell there were that many people plus 2 dogs in the house!

Before noon today it started to flurry a bit and while we were at the chili feast it was snowing big time! The ground is still too warm for it to stick but the meteorologists were right about the arctic front!
