Focus on Life: ♥ Hearts ♥

Our prompt this week was 'Capture Our Hearts'. I snapped a pic of two leaves on the ground that created a heart shape.

October in Photos

This month was a busy one, for sure. With a craft festival, a private home party and a monthly Connecticut Bead Society meeting, I was constantly on the go. I wouldn't have it any other way either :)

For the second year now, I participated in the Saybrook Country Barn's Craft of Main St show. It is always a good time, even if I'm huddled up under a blanket because it's so cold!

Here is a (bad) shot from a private home party I had this month. I had so much fun hanging out with all these talented, lovely ladies!

Kabela Designs came to the Connecticut Bead Society meeting with a challenge for all of us. We were all given the same bead kit and 30 minutes to make a design. Then we laid them all out to see. It's amazing how different each person's piece of jewelry was even though we had the same materials to work with!

These are a few of Kabela's pieces that I purchased. The middle set of links has Swarovski crystals and I've already made a pair of earrings using the keys!

Even with all this work to do, I still took some time out to go apple picking!

Photos of recent jewelry work are to come soon. Hurricane Sandy had us all in a hold for the last few days, but the power is back on and we're all safe!

Happy Halloween!

Summer should get a speeding ticket

I'm sad to see summer go, but can't wait for pumpkins and beautiful leaves!  I've even pulled out some beads in colors and tones that remind me of Fall. 

Sunflowers and Ice Cream!

We had thunderstorms on and off all weekend, but I still managed to get out and enjoy a great little spot called Buttonwood Ice Cream Farm. Not only do they make their delicious ice cream and waffle cones right on site (you can even meet their cows!), but they also have fields and fields of goregous sunflowers to walk around in and snap photos.

Wait in line for 30 minutes...

And topped with a little hot fudge of course!  Worth the wait!

 Meet the cows!

Then the big rain storm hit.... Time to head home!
