Leftovers & More...

Hi all, hope you had a great Turkey day...ours was was very nice...having 4 days off was really good, we did just about nothing...went for long walks, did a bit of yoga at home, did a bit of shopping & that's about it...oh yeah ate a whole lot of yummy leftovers, what about you?

this past weekend I managed to list a ton of beads as promised...I will have a couple of new yummy sets, focal beads & leftover sets by Thursday 2pm California time in my etsy shop...

On Wednesday last week I had a quick, as in short intro class to bead making with the nice people in the photo below...Sharon, Lisa & Kevin...Lisa was a natural, Sharon's beads looked really good for a beginner & Kevin did great too...he is also a boro artist, although we had very little boro glass at the studio, he did come back on Sat for about an hour & showed a bit of boro, the second picture is the swan he made for us...he is going to come back to our studio to teach a 2 day intro to off mandrel boro class sometime around spring vacation 2010, I will keep you posted of the dates...

Graceful Studios News: We have added a calendar of events to our blog upcoming dates of note are my lampworking class on Sunday the 6th from 9am to 2pm, & the Christmas Boutique on Sunday December 20th from 10am to 4pm...see you at the studio...

Last week's two yummy focal beads go to Amy, send your addy girl...for this week I have very special bead, I love love this apple core bead with a modified harlequin design...I was going to list it in my shop, then I realized I did not have a yummy bead for the giveaway, so now you can enter to win it by making a comment on this post...

Thanks for stopping by...Life is good...

Hi Jelveh:
I am sorry that I have been absent so much. I have been out of town a lot and ---well, just too darn busy for my own good!
I love your giveaway bead. It reminds me of a chrysalis.
It sounds like you had wonderful Thanksgiving. We went to my mother's on the Tuesday before to help her celebrate her 90th b'day. We stayed for Thanksgiving and the following weekend.
Only one more show to do and I am done for the holidays! YAY!!!!

Jelveh dear it sounds like you had a very relaxing holiday weekend. We did the same, less the yoga. We ate, and ate, and ate some more. We did some shopping then today I got this package in the mail with some beautiful beads in it that I can't wait to work with. The ribbons are beautiful as is the focal. More beautiful than the pictures. Thanks Jelveh, you made my day! I absolutely love the sandstone in the focal up today!
Peace and love

I had a quiet Thanksgiving, but December will be busy with Christmas programs at churches, Christmas parties and family get togethers.

Thank you, Jelveh, for giving away such pretty beads through out the year!
