Hearts and Postcards

Sorry for the delay in posting. After I moved in October, I was stuck with the dial-up connection from hell. Now I have Broadband, at least temporarily, so I can play blog catch up a bit. My latest creation was these bread dough hearts. I haven't painted them yet, because I'm busy having that nasty cold that's been going around. So I probably won't get them listed on Etsy in time for Valentine's Day, but at least I can show them here.
I also ordered postcards from Zazzle with photos I took in my new yard. You can see them below. Or you can buy them in my Zazzle shop. I love the way they came out. http://www.zazzle.com/sunset_in_lucerne_valley_post_cards-239001604058786630 and http://www.zazzle.com/pinkelephant_jpg_california_postcards-239446698707400693

Beads and Jewelry

I just finished two pairs of beaded earrings and I'm almost done with 2 little triangles covered with beads to be used as hair ornaments for belly dancing. Whenthe sun goes down my little container/studio gets too cold for  beading and tying knots with my chilly fingers. So I came in at 5PM to get the fire started.
I recently finished two beaded felt hearts. Busy busy. I spent an hour today cleaning up and organizing an old suitcase full of beads.

Beaded Arrow

I just finished the beaded arrow. It could be used as an applique, sewn to a hat or a quiver for example. Or I can put a back on it and use it as a brooch. I quite like it and can't wait to try it in other color schemes or even on leather.
