These necklaces were made for the five other women an our annual (24 years!) Christmas luncheon. Each was made with a specific friend in mind: Maureen's was sienna: Debbie's was teal; Jan's was deep red; Mary Lee's was blue; and Maryann's was clear though it looks white here. December 2007

This “Loop and Ladder” bracelet was started in a class at Two Busy Beads and then finished at home. It was a gift for my sister, Sue. August 2007



Which came first? The chicken or the egg? This quirky necklace has them both! The chicken beads – black with white spots and white with black spots – and the egg beads – whole eggs and one fried egg – came from the Oriental Trading Company. August 2007

Tiger's Eye chips float on the three strands of Tiger Tail wire. Another present for Susan's 30th birthday. June 2007


Susan asked for this necklace made with "vitrail" (metalic on one side) beads. July 2007


I liked making this so much in teal that I made another in green. It's so summery and light. This one I gave to a friend. June 2007

I think this is my favorite bead project so far! It is a variation of a bracelet shown in one of the national bead magazines. I made it for my sister, Janet. March 2007



This bracelet tells the story of Christ's life but only if you know what each bead symbolizes. It was a gift for my sister, Margo. March 2007


I bought oodles of these aqua seed beads at the Nashville Flea Market so then collected the coordinating beads to make this fun lariat. I love it! March 2007



Just right for Valentine's Day 2007.



This snowflake necklace and the matching earrings (not shown) were so easy and fun to make! January 2007
