Progress On Making Earrings


I've been kicking around the idea of selling my earrings at our town's farmers market. This set is plain but I really like it. The lime green beads really don't need a lot of other findings to look pretty.

A few weeks ago, my sister asked if I wanted to go in the farmers market with her. I am interested, I just need to come up with an idea on how to display them. I've seen them displayed many ways.
I love this set and will make another pair just for me. The blue faceted bead is more beautiful in person!
This set was so easy to make. I love these too and will need to make another set for myself!
Ahhh, red--my favorite color. It's funny how I love this color but barely wear it. The faceted beads pick up the light and shines so beautiful!
It's hard to see this bead, but in person they are very interesting.
I enjoy putting these earrings together and I give so many out to friends.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my earrings.

2012 Calumet Skating Show

****WARING**** HIGH VOLUME PICTURE POST :)
My daughter had her skating show this past Saturday and what a show it was! The costumes and music were the best I've seen!
Our ice show theme was: Skating Through The Seasons
My daughter had a solo and skated to Bryan Adams' Summer of '69. She did a fantastic job! We are so proud of the work she puts into her skating.Beautiful backward spiral.
This program was a sports medley. Great music and the girls were awesome!
My baseball girl. Funny how she dresssed up for baseball but has never played it.
Y'all ready for this?!

Me, Terra and my sister. Love these girls!

Zoe, Katherine, Terra, Julia and Dallas--friends. So glad she has such a great group of friends!
With Marth.
Her very best best friend, Katherine. These two have been great friends since kindergarten and I don't see that changing ever! Love this girl!
It was a pleasure watching all the skaters do their best and they sure put on a fantastic show! The parents that volunteered did an excellent job setting up the arena.
Being a board member you sometimes get people that find the negative and believe it or not, I did not hear one negative word at all!!
I hope next year will be just as good. It will be Terra's last year with the club-happy but sad times.
Thanks for stopping by!

Watching Hockey

Last night was the first night our daughter got to watch her Dad play hockey. She was so excited to see him. I took a picture of them and they both looked so happy!
It's been many years since I have seen my hubby out on the ice and it was so good to see him play the game he loves so much!
Our daughter's boyfriend came and watched too. He plays hockey for our high school team and does very well!

Waiting for the puck.
He was awesome! Have to say he still has the moves (like Jagger)!
My hubby has been playing hockey for a couple months with some other guys on a rental league. He was asked by one of these gentlemen to play in the Old Timers Tournament as they were short people. Of course he agreed!
They have different divisions per your age--thank goodness. Wouldn't want my hubs to hurt any of those young guys!:) He is in the "Masters" division.
I was very impressed with the level of play. The speed wasn't what it used to be, but the quality is till there.
I am going on my lunch hour today to watch another of his games and then again tomorrow to watch his last game (unless they make the playoffs-then we'll watch again on Sunday!).
Thanks for stopping by and if your a local, go and catch some great hockey games this weekend!
