Lotus Pond Necklace

This is my latest necklace and I have to admit that it wasn't my original idea. This is direct from the book Flourish by Christi Friesen. It really wasn't hard to do at all! In fact, stringing those darn little beads and pearls was the most difficult part ( these old eyes aren't as sharp as they once were).

Still Painting

I'm still painting today because I won't get to hold this adorable bundle until next month. She has brown hair, pretty much for a newborn. Isn't she a cutie? Her name is Eliana Cathleen.

Today I think I finished my pond painting and I'm going to start another before the evening is over. And it will be very different than what I've done before.
