Hello everyone! I hope you're staying drier than we are here.
We had a few days of sun, then it started raining again. This has been the rainiest summer that I ever remember in Anchorage.

Here's the latest article from the Beadwork site at BellaOnline.com.

Recently I posted a jewelry related craft (that's not beading) on my blog. It's a good kid's project using a wood shape and painting it and hanging it from a strand of plastic Mardi Gras type beads. If you're interested, you can see the finished project here.
