Sneak Peeks, New Bracelet, A Neighborhood Friend

As promised, though a little late, some sneak peeks of the doll project I have been working on.  Its coming along slowly.  I have been working on some other projects though and have had to set it aside.  I plan on picking it back up in the next week or so.  There are some slightly more important things to be taken care of first :)

 

I'm really please though at the amount I have accomplished on it.

 

These are pretty tiny sneak peeks, but they aren't supposed to reveal much for now :)

Last weekend I started a new bracelet on a whim.  I dug out some seed beads and yellow moss agate stash.  It took me over 15 hours through three days to finish it.  It turned out nice in the end.  A cuff with snaps to make it appear seamless.  When it was done, I realized that it would actually look pretty nice with the necklace in my last update.  Here are a couple shots.

Beige, frosty green, clear, smokey clear brown seed beads.

Yellow moss agate & clear quartz crystal round beads.

 

Hand stitched & reinforced.

Finally its been snowing so much over this month.  I am pretty happy about it.  I know everyone wants it to be over, but I wish it would have done this all winter.  It was so bitter cold in November and December, and there was no snow.  It was a bummer.  Now its snowed so much that my backyard looks like a little winter wonderland :)

However, the news sounds like this big snowy storm cell is going to be going away.  :(  I'll miss you snow.  I know its almost March, but I don't care :)  So until the sun takes him away, I have a new neighborhood friend that greets me every time I park my car.

Isn't he cute?
