Hi Y'all,
I have not been posting very often lately. I have been busy working on my challenges when I get home from my day job. But you are saying "Hey you have been commenting on a lot of blog post." Yes I have, it has been very slow at work so I have had time to read a few blogs that I follow and leave post and also I check in and read some more before I go to bed.
Some of you may remember that I posted a picture of my dog Loki one Sunday in January. Well Loki passed away this past weekend. He was old and he got sick and it was just to much on him. I made his last days as comfortable as I could. He was a great dog and I will miss him very much.

I, like a lot of you have joined many challenges that will be posting in the next few weeks so I put together some teaser pictures of what I will be showing on the reveal days. First is Andrew Thornton's Reader's Challenge reveal date February 25th.
Andrew sent out a color pallet of different shades of pink that contained a mystery component and an art bead along with some other very pretty beads.
The second challenge is the 7,000 Bracelets for Hope Blog Hop hosted by Erin Fickert-Rowland and Christine Altmiller with the same reveal date of February 25th.
You were to make a bracelet using a blue that represented denim for the Global Genes Project. The bracelets are to be mailed to Children's Rare Disease Network, where they will mail them to the Mothers or Care givers of the sick child they are caring for.
I mailed my bracelets off today. I could not just stop at one.
The third challenge for the month of February is Erin Prais-Hintz's Challenge of Music reveal date February 29th.
The challenge is to pick a song and make something that you feel represents the song or how the song makes you feel or you could make a piece of jewelry that you think the person performing the song may wear, the possibilities are numerous.
Well that is it for February and in March I have the Beading Babes Project 3 reveal on March 2nd 4th and Michelle Mach's Suddenly Spring reveal on March 13th
Gifts and Giveaway winnings
A couple of months ago Debbie with All My Beads Deb's Blog sent me a gift of some of her beautiful lamp worked beads and this is what I made with a few of them.
I won these earrings in a giveaway that Leslie Todd of No Stone Unstrung had on her blog.
Aren't they pretty!
Pam at Crazy Creative Corner had a personal challenge in January where she asked a question about what kind of jewelry would you wear and if you answered her question in a comment she would do a random drawing and make a piece to your preferences. Well me and Deb were the only ones to respond so she made us both something and this is what she made for me.
I love gemstones!
Sharyl at Sharyl's Jewelry Gave away the piece she did for the January Art Bead Scene Monthly Challenge.
Beautiful don't you think?
Well it is way past my bed time and I am not going to want to get up at 4:30am which is in 4 hours. So good night all.
Happy beading Y'all,
Therese
