Beaded Spiders


Last week is a blur.  I am not sure where it went.  My calendar showed a lot of business.  Brady got a booster, and I started learning how to make beaded spiders.

On Saturday the 14th, I  saw in a shop in Enumclaw Halloween Spiders made from beads and wire.  They were selling for $18.  When I  got home and looked up on YouTube how to make them, I discovered they were from a Christmas Spider story, turned Halloween.  I spent all day Monday learning more by watching 3-5 tutorials and organizing my beads.  I had been making Halloween earrings and now I had a new project.  This week I have made 3 spiders when I had time.  This one is my second spider.  The third doesn't have a holiday theme.  I thought these spiders are a good way to use up old beads I've had for years.  At this point, I've made 8.  So that is what I was doing and not blogging.  I have had lots of fun making them.

I am beginning to see myself as a crafter at an event selling my creations.  Right now I am learning and I give away the learning jewelry.  The ladies at the DOL got Halloween earrings yesterday.  Next week I will give out more jewelry at church.  Rings etc.  I will at some point after practicing be able to feel I.can sell items.

Student Affairs Pot Luck 2023

Image
The Studenr Affairs had their pot luck today.  I was surprised that it was downstairs in the lunchroom and not in the Rainier Room.  Many said the RR wasn't reserved on time and things were different cause I  retired.  I reserved rooms for years...  It was nice anyway especially to see everyone.  Irine gave me a mug.  I saw Lonnie who told me a car ran into her in a cross walk November 25th.  I also saw Shawn and gave him one of the Christmas Spiders.   It was fun to be with everyone. The phoro is from years past at this event.

Friday the 13th

Image
Yesterday I went to Young at Heart, and this morning we met at Trotters in Auburn for breakfast.  As I look around the table, they are very sweet people.  60s, 70s, and 80 years olds are represented.  I am amazed I am a part of an older people's group, but here I am.  I am very liberal and do what I want... were they do a lot of old peoples stuff.  Sometimes,  it's uncomfortable but I am there for a reason.  I am interested at finding it out. Friday the 13th... I believe in your luck is how you perceive it to be.  Today can be thought of a special lucky day.  And for extra luck, go pet a black cat.

Aurumn Self Check Coming

Image
I skipped yesterday since all I did was Young @ Heart.  I did treat myself to a Chick Fil A salad for lunch.  I worked some on pendants.   As we approach Autumn, I do another self check.  I will focus on that in the blog posts next week.  Letting go is a theme and that's why I added this meme.   Have a good weekend.
