Halloween Beads

Ok, I did manage to get a few pictures today, though they didn't turn out as good as I would have liked...


Here are a few of the beads I will be sending in for the Halloween exchange.



Not much else is new in my world, I did get a few sets of disk beads listed today in my Etsy shop and started to add a few pics to a Flikr album...that's really about it!

Funnel cakes and ghosts

My hubby wanted a snack tonight so I thought I would make funnel cakes! For some reason they always sound better to me when it's a bit cool out than they do when it is hot. Around here you can usually only get them at the fair. Anyway, I made these from pancake batter! Super easy; I just mix it a little thick and since I don't have a funnel, I used a plastic baggie with a corner cut off so very little clean-up either! Mmmm!! :)

I have been trying to work on Halloween beads and fall things for my Etsy shop, but I seem to have trouble staying on task. Tonight though I did get a trio of candy corn listed and a family of ghosts that are also my entry for the LEST team Halloween challenge. (Click on the LEST logo to the left to go to our page) I think they turned out rather cute! If I were a more creative writer, I could have come up with some little story to tell about why the gray one is laying down while the rest seem to be peering down at him, but my brain is gone on vacation....I wish it would come back!

Invaded by an Alien!

My shop has been invaded by an alien! Ok, so I made him in my shop, but he sure is cute! Just listed him in my Etsy shop, his name is Mortimer. I have been trying to work on some Halloween beads, but I have so many ideas running through my head it's hard to decide what to work on next. Since I have moved indoors v. being in the garage, I make a lot more things and have a lot more ideas. Now the problem is I want to make things all the time and don't want to fuss with taking the pictures and writing descriptions and getting them listed; it really is quite a bit of work! I'm working on it though! I have several new things that will be listed over the next week or so.
Ok, off to the "real job". :(

Still working....

I'm still working on getting new things listed in my shop but this week is a bit tougher because other things in life seem to be getting in the way! Tomorrow I have a mangagement class all day that I'm sure will be absolutly thrilling; anyway I doubt I'll get much done when I get home from there. If I could only figure out a way to support myself on the things I like to do instead of the things I have to do....
I have some ideas in my head for new beads to create, but haven't had much torch time here lately to work on them. I really want to start working on more Halloween and Christmas things...maybe this weekend.
