Beads, Beads, and More Beads!

Last week I went to see my family in Virginia and my cousin, grandmother, and I had a lovely time beading together! Michaels had all the "Bead Gallery" beads half price, so we stocked up, then spent hours creating! 

The finished product was four bracelets and a necklace! What a wonderful week!

Fall is on Its Way...

Fall is my favorite time of year. 
     I love to watch the leaves change colors...
          Pumpkin Spice Lattes are fabulous...
               My birthday is in the fall...
                    The weather is so cool and crisp...
                         Autumn is just such a delight. 
Being in the autumn mindset and all, I recently started a mixed media piece that just makes me think of this time of year:

And for a closer look... 

Basically, what I did was use modge podge to cover an 8 x 10 canvas with fabric, and then I used a glue gun to attach buttons. It's clearly not finished yet, but it will be soon! 

Psalm 63:4 

                     I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
