May Bead Journal Project

The final "page" is complete. This memory ornament is in honor of my late mother-in-law. The lace was taken from the underdress to her wedding gown. When it actually came time to cut into the dress, just couldn't do it. The gown itself is nothing but lace and therefore had a silk and lace underdress. Some of the lace on this part of the gown was damaged so that is where I cut into it. The pin was from her childhood.

Summer Season

With July 4th, the summer season is official and these pictures show what happens to a little beach town when the population of 5,000 year round residents increases to 100,000 for the next eight weeks.

Photo Shoot

Photography 101 - Be sure your subject is not wearing a lampshade.


But what do you do when it is cold and rainy at the beach and your subject insists on wearing a lampshade to stay warm.

A Scarf

12,000 stitches knitted for a total of three inches. At that rate, this scarf won't be very wide.

Love the digital camera, but it never photographs purples correctly. The yarn is a deep purple against which the accent colors really pop.

Sea Glass Bracelet

This morning I finally finished up the backing/edge work on this bracelet. The sea glass is some that I collected here in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. The beadwork area measures 6" x 2".

Maggie's Lunch

I gave Maggie two options for lunch - deli roast beef or a beach rose. As you can see, the roast beef wasn't touched but the beach rose ----- sure isn't much left.
