Here you go Amy!  I made a couple of bracelets over the weekend.  I finally finished making thousands of colored jump rings so that I could assemble three bracelets...only two are pictured, sorry.

I loved how they turned out!
I spent most of the weekend working on stained glass flowers.

I enlisted the help of my son or I still wouldn't be done with them.  They still need the patina, but the most tedious part of the job is done.

Last week I finally took the next step and took some of my stuff to our local gift shop, Stella's on Main, in Gilbert, Iowa.  It's kind of scary putting yourself out there like that for everyone to criticize.

Enjoy,

I've been feeling under the weather the last couple of days and have let my blog slip...sorry.

Here's what I've been up to in the last week.

I know you've seen this painting before, but I love painting these butterflies on canvas paper and cutting them out and adding them to a project to give it my finishing touch.

I also finished the mini crayon melting project.

More butterflies.

What no butterflies....it's still wet yet and who knows...we'll see if a butterfly or two makes it on the canvas.

I think it's time for my creations to leave the nest.  I hope to display them at our local shop and maybe someone else will love them as much as I do.

Who knows, maybe I'll make a few dollars along the way.

Keep creating!
