Speaking of FAS...

Last week Sunday me and Rob and Tony(who have Fetal Alcohol syndrome too) spoke to a group at Rob's church about our lives with FAS.  It was educational, and informative.  And we all did well.
Last week was such a busy week for me. I didn't have much time to make many bracelets. lets alone more paper beads.  I am hoping that this week is less busy and I can get more made.  Here is to hoping.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year 2013.   Yes it has been awhile since my last blog post. but not to much has been going on.  But I did have a good Christmas and New year.   Also the best news of all is I became an aunt for the 10th time on Christmas Eve.  My sister had a beautiful baby boy. 
Lately I have been busy working on paper bead bracelets.  Getting ready for another ARTS an organization in California) art fair in April.  I am also hoping to sell my jewelry at a farmers market here in town.   So this year is looking pretty good so far.   I will have pictures up soon.

fall activities are done and so am I.

Yes I am done working. I have been for about 3 weeks now.  Lately I have been making paper beads and bracelets. And just yesterday I got a "bunch" of magazines from my aunt.  I use all sorts of paper from regular computer paper to magazines and newspaper to fun scrapbook paper. I have been asked to make more bracelets for another art fair that ARTS( in San Diego California) is having in April.
So here are some of the bracelets I have made.

from these to...

this. isn't it awesome

I thought this up all on my own.

Fall

Well I have been working now for about 3 weeks. and all is well.  Having fun with the kids and carrying out mums and pumpkins galore.
But in other news.  I just got an email today saying that all my paper bead bracelets that I sent to California
 sold. And the ARTS organization was very pleased.  and they want me to continue to make paper bead bracelet for them to sell.   I am more then willing to make more.  I enjoy doing it.

Back to work, fall activities

Yes I have started back to work Friday. And so far the two days that I have worked have gone by fast.  its good to be back.
In other news, last week Wednesday I sent out my paper bead bracelets to California.  and got an email saying they got there safely.  Now we want them to sell like hot cakes.
I am still working on bracelets and rings. but mostly the seed bead ones. Now that I am working I don't have  much time to make jewelry. Though I have finished a few bracelets that I started awhile ago including one I way making for my mom for her birthday.
Here are some pics of  what I have made lately

To market, to market, to sell some jewelry, home again home again. with some money!:-)  well the first time selling at the market was ok. I only sold 2 paper bead bracelets. but on the up side i did hand out alot of my cards. and i met a few people who knew someone who had FAS and thought it was a great thing I was doing.
I will be at the market again this coming week Tuesday. from 8am to?
I have been making a few more rings using different bead weaving stitches.I have also been making paper bead rings. to match some of the bracelets.
 I will have pics up soon.  other then that. the time to send my other paper beads bracelets to Cal. is coming soon. I got an email as a reminder today.

Selling in Town

My friend Rob and i went to the Fulton Farmers market to see if I could get a booth so i could sell my jewelry there.  I talked someone there and before I knew it. i was approved.  So I am able to sell my jewelry at the market. I am pretty excited.  I will be down there this week Tuesday.
