Lately I've seen and liked Burn after Reading and Funny people. I guess when I think about it, I like comedies.

bead embroidery pieces, mostly on purses, but also have done illustrations for a book

Mother of Pearl, Every Secret Thing,(lately) always a good Tony Hillerman novel

Gig's beads and things






Came to Alaska when I was 15 and been here ever since,sitting at the bead table for over 35 years.

Beads,all kinds,but especially vintage. Love sunny days in the summer,when I can play in my garden.Also
like a blazing hot fire in the wood stove when it's cold out.

Hi Kate, well I just got back out of the hospital again with another surgery. It seems that my kidneys are rejecting things now and the infections have gotten some worse. But I'm home now again until my next surgery and trying to be strong. Thanks so much for all your kindness, it's so much appreciated! I hope that you have a wonderful rest of your weekend!


Hugs and happy beading...


Bobbi

Hi, Kate!  Great to meet you! Thanks for the friend invitation.

You have some absolutely gorgeous work....I am totally awed.  What patience you must possess to do those intricate pictures.

I looked up Homer, Alaska because I wanted to see where it was in relation to the Inside Passage.  My Mom and I took a cruise to the passage in September.  It was amazing, to say the least.  Someday I would like to get further north in to Alaska to see more of it, but I fell in love with what I did see.  I don't know that I could deal with the dark/light situation, though...I have enough trouble on a rainy day.  I would imagine you find quite a lot of inspiration for your beading in the beautiful nature that surrounds you...it's so pretty there!

Welcome to the Bead-Space family.  You'll find a really wonderful group of people here!
