Beadweaving

I've wanted to try beadweaving for a long time and finally started by learning the peyote stitch. Then, I made a few practice bracelets for a few friends, my daughter-in-laws and granddaughters.









This one is made with amethyst 4mm cube beads and pearl size 6/0 beads. The size is rather large for peyote stitch, but I don't work well with the teeny tiny size 11/0 beads. (yet)

The closure is a lobster claw clasp with a one inch extender chain. It should fit just about any sized wrist from 6"- 9".

When I was in Florida, I gave this away...when someone falls in love with one of my items...I want them to have it! Not too good for business, but I get a good feeling.

Looking back at 2008

Maddie has this beautiful dress to wear for school pictures.

This is one of our many lunches in Ohio.
Maddie, Chase and Alexa smile for the camera.


Mason and Chase, Alexa, Madison and Morgan.
This is one of my favorite pictures of my grandchildren.

Look at those angelic faces and sweet smiles. I am so blessed.

Aren't they the cutest bunch of kids you ever saw??? I love my time with them and I think their smiles tell you they love it too!!

This picture was taken in October.
It doesn't happen often that I have all three sons together AND my grandchildren.

The Air Force sent him to school in Alabama and he drove up for the weekend.

Captiva and Florida Visit Dec. 2008

This is the reason Wayne and I are moving back to Florida. I have loads of family and nieces and nephews to play with. Although I'd rather move back to Ohio near my grandchildren...my second family is here and I love them too. I'll visit Ohio in the Spring and Summer!

My brother Denny took us to Captiva with all his kids for a week.
Many memories were made like the parrot that scared the hell out of Jason, having all my nieces and nephews around with their children and playing dominoes and Phase 10 until the wee hours!



Here's Zoe on one of her beach walks.








Denny with Victor in the gorgeous pool.












Wayne and I had a room in this awesome building. It was a full suite with kitchen, living room, patio, bedroom and bath.











Wayne and Denny pondering what to do next.










Denny, Polly and little Jillian enjoy the beach.










Mary, Zoe and Jillian enjoying "girl talk".










Zoe, dad Todd and Victor with dad Jason off on an adventure.

I took this picture of Jillian with Grumpy.... she's precious












Jason and Victor at the dominoe table.











The boys got to go fishing a couple of times before the rain came.

All my brother's kids...what a wonderful family!

Victor had a visit from santa too!

A vacation in Captiva

We're off to Florida for a week at Tween Waters Inn. This resort is on Santabell Island. When I get back, I'll post some pictures for drooling!

See you later....
