Sorry it has been soooo long... been working on a few things and busy with summer, kids, new doggie, etc...
This is Happy... we adopted her from the Pasadena Humane Society end of June. She is lying outside Michael's door waiting for him to get up... that pink thing was a bear, but is now a poor chewed up piece of pink... Happy likes to get all the stuffing out... she doesn't eat it just likes to de-stuff... We had to have some rules regarding the couch pillows. Happy is a Weiner-Beagle we are pretty sure. She loves to go to the dog park but gets nervous if too many dogs are saying hello at the same time.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Wow! You've been a busy girl haven't you! Thanks for the mention too :)
It sure was nice to meet you in person while we were in Cali and yes, why didn't we think to take pictures? We will for sure be back because Mark & I decided to make the Whale Watching Cruise a yearly event! Get your camera ready ;)
Talk soon!

Goodmorning!!
I am so glad that you are posting some of your recent work, though I know that you have made SO much more.
You were kind to Happy in this post...didn't mention that she is also a bead thief.
Later Gater
Love, Carol
Thank you ladies...
Rocki. You are most welcome. Thank you for finding and following your muse. We all benefit from your wonderful skill in the studio. Maybe I will take a day off next time you guys come out and go on the whale watching trip too. I have never been...
Carol.... Thanks and you're right, I didn't post ALL the stuff I have been working on. Took me three trys just to get the blog to look as it does... I got tired of it... You spilled the beads (beans) on Happy dog... yes she got ahold of my focal but just took it off the table and set it on the floor maybe to just tell me she could do it... and that time she took a vial of beads.. she was chewing on that... but again I caught her.... Maybe she likes pretty things... I do a check to make sure there is nothing reachable beadwise, toolwise and chairs are pushed under the table now even just to run to the laundry or something..
Love, Deb
Happy is a bead bandit???! That's too funny, well not really, but really :) He's so cute - my dog does the destuff thing too. Who knew so much fluff could be in there??
I love those gigantic rings and those leaf beads look awesome too. Your wire work is awesome. I love those links and the necklace and matching earrings - just beautiful! So glad you took the time to post. I missed you!
