Most beaders know of Laura McCabe the internationally known bead artist and teacher. Another bead artist and teacher Sabine Lippert’s work reminds me of Laura’s. See for yourself… Below are Laura’s Dodechahedron (top), and Sabine’s Spherriffic (bottom), beaded pieces …

Both brilliant artists!!!

ELM Goats – What a great Idea…

Tina — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 23:05:00 +0000

Less than a mile (as the crow flies) there is a herd of goats, it’s a beautiful scene. I can even see them from the balcony. They’re guarded by half a dozen Great Pyrenees dogs from adoption agencies. There are new puppies too.

They are working, they’re eating the brush, and adding fertilizer. Great for the possible fires in this area, which is Southeast San Diego/Chula Vista (Otay region).

This is Baby and mother of the pups…

HALLELUJAH!!!!! I’VE RETIRED!!!

Click to view slideshow.Really didn’t hit me til I turned in my badge yesterday morning. Then I had this big grin on my face, went into the building hootin n’ hollerin. Gave my boss my checkout sheet (took all week to complete it, but got a hearing test out of it). Cleaned my office, went to lunch with the girls. They went back to work but I went across the street to see the Hotel Del Christmas Display, just like an old retired person.

My smartphone camera did surprisingly well, guess you just have to take pictures on a clear, bright, beautiful day…

Leslee Frumin’s Putting on the Ritz Necklace…

been wanting to work this one for a long time. It’s one of Leslee’s oldies but goodies. I really would have rather gone shopping for nicer drops and pearls but settled with what I had on hand. I will make another some day with better beads.
