Time, nothing but time...

I am retired, have nothing but time, on this Island that has a lot to offer but I am down.  I have time on my hands but no one to share that time with.  I am surrounded by people that do not speak English.  I am taking Spanish classes to try to fit in here but it is hard. To fill in my time, I am making bracelets and getting ready to add to that lampworking and copper tooling.  Wish me luck? I am so lonely...

New Bracelets and Some Color Inspiration

Micromacrame with some Beads

Hard to see the colors but I made this for a girl who
 worked on the cruise ship. She wanted the blue
colors for the ocean.

Christmas Crab

Roofing Copper

I just got some roofing copper and I am willing to share.  If I share, I need someone to help me with what I need to work with it and what to do with it!  He sent several sizes and told me he will send me more.
Let me know?

New Grandson!

So Hubby decided we needed to take a Caribbean cruise and while we were in St Kitts, our first Grandson was born alittle earlier than expected!  We are no planning to head back to the states to see our first Grandson in Charlotte.  I am so excited to meet our new Grandson AND have access to BEAD STORES!!!!!!!
