What could be better? Take two beaders, add a lazy Sunday afternoon, a sunny work space, a shop full of beads, stir them all together with a big dollop of Mel Brooks quotes to make a great day!

Claire started out to make a ring, then her RAW square became too big. Instead of stopping, she kept adding beads…

…until she’d made this! Her too big square is on its way to becoming a pendant.

This is a first! I’d never made a beaded ring before. The faceted topaz centerpiece refused to be anything else, so I played along…

…even with a few false starts!*

After finishing the ring I made a lovely pendant to match.

Three and a half hours flew by quickly! I felt renewed, and inspired. It’s wonderful to spend time with someone who speaks bead, has a wacky sense of humor, and is filled with ideas.

Thank you for Sunday, Claire… I really needed it! Let’s do it again soon. Does this Sunday work for you?

  2. Hi Nicole!

    They are fun days! They’re the days that I get to laugh, explore and learn some new things. Claire and I have lots of fun together. I’m glad to know you have a bestie, and that she’s a beader, too.

    Thanks for coming by to take a look around.

    Carol
