Mom Is Here! I'm so excited.

Mom arrived Tuesday afternoon and is here for 2 weeks.  I am so excited that she is here.  It's been dreary weather up in the Frozen North and she needs the sun, so down she came to our Tropical Climes.  Yahoo!  2 weeks is way too short but I'll take what I can get.  Wednesday was kind of a relax day and my daughter, Bean and Bubba (alias The Duke) came for dinner.  Thursday, Mom and I spent the day with the Bean and Bubba, out to breakfast and then visiting and helping my daughter with some things around the house.  TDH and I went back to our daughter's to watch the kids as they slept so she could go to the airport and pick up her husband from a business trip.  Of course, with the weather, there were delays, but he arrived safely home and everyone is happy.  Today, Daughter and I took Mom out for a personal shopping experience.  Daughter made the appointment at Nordstrom's and we had a wonderful time.  She tried on many clothes, but unfortunately, couldn't find any that tickled her fancy.  But afterwards, she wanted to shoe shop, and ended up buying a beautiful pair of Topsiders in gold.  We are having company for dinner tomorrow and looking forward to seeing our niece and her fiance who arrive late tonight.  After a week of rest, it's time for company and events to fill the calendar again!

I had a commission from a friend to make a cross for her to present to her teacher.  I wasn't sure what style she'd like so I made 2.  One is sort of traditional and the other is a bit more futuristic.  Which one do you like?


   








 I had started this cowrie shell a few weeks ago and finally finished it.  I like it a lot but do feel on the next one, I'll weave a bit tighter between the coils.












 I saw this goddess on Pinterest last week and had to make it.  I think she turned out really nice but when my daughter saw it, she thought it was a dog's face.  Oh well, what are you going to do?





This one is another one that I tried just to see if I could do it.  Turns out that I could!










This next one is kind of hard to see, but it's a bracelet with just a bar between 2 end loops.  It's really an elegant simple design and if a person wanted, they could add charms to the bars.

Well, that's it for this week.  I kept myself busy and guess what?  I have 2 other bracelets that I am working on and can't wait to share with you.

Be well and stay warm.  See you next time.
