Deb's Visit!

The first thing we saw was this, and I had a hard time walking away from it!

When we left the house I grabbed this bag and Deb laughed!  She didn't believe we would actually fill it up!

Look at the necklace Deb bought me!

We took a class, Helixed and Twined Pendants, with Sandra Lupo at the Newark Museum.

It was a great class and if you get the opportunity to take one with her, you should!

Back home we tried to finish up our pieces!

This is Debs.

And this is mine.  They're both still not completely done...yet...

I taught Deb how to make a Dutch Spiral, didn't get to finish mine!

We made some beaded bead earrings!  These are Debs.

And these are mine!

I get distracted by flowers, loved these!

We had way too  much fun at Sugarbeads in Ridgefield!


Then we went home to make spiral ropes.  

















These are cantaloupe Swarovski crystals.  They are green on the necklace and photograph pink.  Sometimes they look purple!











My sister-in-law Chris joined us to try figuring out a Sabine Lippert pattern from her new book!








Dinner with some great friends and family at Lake Waubeeka!




Deb came downstairs what are the chances of us having the same sandals?



Deb saying good-bye to Angel and Moe.  :(










Before we dropped her off we stopped by the Liberty Bell!





It all went too fast my dear friend.

Relay for Life

The Delta Gamma Phi Sorority was one of 40 groups at WestConn raising money and supporting Relay for Life.  It was an amazing evening.



The speaker was amazing sharing his life story.  He moved us all with his strength and his fight for life.


The luminaria walk was beautiful


I'm so proud of my daughter, Arielle, for being so involved with this incredible evening!

My Weekend at Creativity by the Sea

Arielle and I went to an art retreat called Creativity by the Sea in Ocean Grove, NJ.  We stayed at the Albatross Hotel, and that is the Atlantic Ocean right at the end of the street.

The houses architecture were amazing!  I need to go back when tent city is in full bloom!

Our first class was with chef Oleg Scorpan at Devil's Food Bakery.  
We learned so much about baking and cooking with chocolate!

Chef's berry on left, Arielle's in the middle and mine on the right.

We made chocolate bags, how awesome is that!

This is what we got to go home with, and then they surprised us with more stuff in the box!

The next day was our class with Kecia Deveney soldering ceramics with bits and baubles.

This is Arielle's finished piece.










It was a perfect weekend!

Beading Update!


This is the beautiful piece that Christine made in her Bead Stringing Class! She learned about balancing the design, crimping, which stringing materials to use and so much more! We had a great time! Take a peek at my website AngelMoose.com for classes and let me know when you are available and what you want to learn!

I'm thinking about offering class kits to take the shopping fear away, let me know what you think about that! Looking forward to hearing from you!

Happy Beading, gv
