About Me

My photo
I absolutely LOVE what I do! I started designing jewelry over eight years ago, and I still love to bead myself senseless every chance I get! I have a wonderful, patient husband, 5 grandchildren, 2 baby goats, and 20 chickens to keep me busy and out of trouble (?) when I'm not senselessly beading! www.BeadUSenseless.etsy.com

 Normally, I don't add much of my personal life to my blog...this was just too good not to pass along!  My youngest son and his Beautiful Wife Kristy, got married in our back yard this past Saturday!  T'was a very Irish wedding, complete with kilts and Unity Sand in the place of the unity candle...3 different color sands in jars with Patrick, Kristy, and Heather (my new granddaughter!)'s names...all poured into one jar...unified!!  Lovely idea!  All the decorations were simple and befitting a back yard (mine!) wedding on a  semi-rainy day!  I am passing along some of my fave pix of the day!  Hope you enjoy!




 My grandson to the left....my niece and great-niece above!  Grandson, Austin, was co-ring bearer with the handsome laddie below!  Couldn't you just eat them up!!!!

Good Morning! It's Friday!

Just a quick sneak peek of what's to come before I head off to work this morning!  Love these little rings!  They will be making their debut at our first show of the season on September 22..."Just Shop For A Just Cause"...sponsored by the Metropolitan Baptist Church on Jones Rd. in Houston TX.  This show was created to raise money and awareness for the victims of human trafficking.  Yes, folks, that still happens!  And Houston is a major hub!!!  More later...Have a great day and remember to continue to pray for the people who lost so much to Hurricane Isaac.

Hey! Looks like I'm back in business!

A lot has happened since I was unable to access my blog...

  •  Finally had follower #15 and was able to hold a drawing to pick the winner of my copper and sterling silver earrings.  The lovely Andrea Durham was the winner.  You can find her on Etsy at Andrea Durham Designs.  She is a fantastic copper artist.  She also has her own horse training business.  Congrats!  Andrea!
  • My computer has finally gone by the wayside...most likely...it's in the shop.  Right now I'm on my husband's new computer...checking it out...making sure I can post on my blog!  Which, it seems, I can!  Hooray!  No pix right now since I have none downloaded to this computer :{
  • It's been a busy summer...lots of summer family birthdays, wedding showers, baby showers...a wedding coming up on September 29...in my backyard!!!!  I will be sure to post pix! 
  • Have a few new metal designs!  Great new earrings I designed, a new ring I just love to make, and a bracelet!...just check in again soon to see them!! 
  • Was planning a trip to New Orleans...tagging along on my husband's business trip to visit relatives!!!  Was sooo excited to go...plans halted due to Hurricane Isaac!  Go figure!  Prayers and well wishes go out to all in Isaac's path...be safe!!
  • Back soon!  Thanks for being patient!  God Bless!!
