Hi Everyone,  Today I want to tell you about a special member of my Busy Bee's Team.  Her name is +Cynthia Nemeth   She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
She learned the art of beadwork from both her grandmother's and also passed the tradition on to her children.  Her business: +CLeasBeadwork@etsy.com helps her love of beadwork and also financially.  She makes earrings, bracelets, pins, necklaces, barettes, dream catchers, bags, pouches and purses.  At this time she could really use our help and prayers as her husband is very ill.  Here is one of her beautiful necklaces:

As for me, I am working on a necklace that is driving me crazy.  You know when you are creating something and you just can't get it to come together that it fits your "artsy eye".  Well, that's what's happening.  But I will keep at it and let you see the results (next year).

Well, it's Dec. 11, Christmas is almost here.  I love Christmas Eve...I married into a large Italian family and Christmas Eve is my favorite holiday dinner.  They made all kinds of fish dishes, my favorite being spaghetti with red sause and crushed walnuts blended into it.  Soooo good!  But our family is no more and I can't cook all that stuff by myself, I used to be my sister-in-laws soui chef. LOL
Anyway tonight I want to tell you about MoiraCoon@etsy.com From Racine, Wisconsin, she sells renewed, repurposed & Reimagined Frippery, Adornments, Alloy Accoutrements, and Other Ornamental Treasures. (Her words, not mine!)  LOL Visit her shop for a little walk on the dark side and check this out while you're there: http://www.etsy.com/listing/76148825/holiday-sale-grigori-yefimovich-rasputin

Housewives wore earlier this fall.  Yes, I love the "Housewives", all of them except the NJ one's, I'm getting tired of them.
