We Were Busy Bees Today

Today was an assembly day in the garage.  I think mom and I are sort of panicking because our first show is fast approaching.  I was thinking our first show was the first weekend in September but actually it is the 16th of September.  So, we still have time to work pieces up.

Mom worked on assembling all the Viking Knit pieces and I did all the other easy pieces :)  We ended up making five necklaces and eleven bracelets.  I am pretty proud of us for creating that many pieces today.

So, here is what we got accomplished:

"Hearts on Fire" - lava stones, hematite,
and our lampwork glass beads

Love how the beads turned out



Pendant from Singing Cat Studio, Viking Knit
made by us with turquoise 26 gauge Parawire,
and sterling silver clasp and not sure about the end caps

26 gauge orange Parawire Viking knit necklace, sterling silver
heart clasp and not sure about the end caps

26 gauge pink Parawire Viking Knit necklace, sterling silver clasp and not sure
about the end caps

26 gauge puple Parawire Viking Knit necklace, sterling silver
clasp and not sure about the end caps

Bracelets:

Agate stone, gunmetal spacers (not sure about the white beads), purple Viking
knit, gunmetal clasp and end caps.

So, that was today.  Tomorrow I have to enamel some pendants and I think while I am doing that mom maybe sawing out bowls and plates.  Though it depends on how she feels because right now she is crashed on the couch watching the second season of Castle.  I am heading home to feed the cats, site on the comfy couch and work on some Viking Knit and watch a DVD (not sure what yet).

Have a great night everyone!!!
