You can find all the materials and instructions over on the Smoothfoam(TM) blog.  This is a great game for learning counting and adding.  Change the colors to suit your likes or what you have available.  How about a party game for Halloween in orange and black!

Have fun with it!

Carnelian Tassel Necklace

Hi Crafters!

I love fall and I love designing with fall colors.  Here's a necklace that I designed for Crafts 'n things for their Fall 2013 issue.   It's a perfect addition to your fall wardrobe!

This necklace is a combination of carnelian, poppy jasper and yellow jasper along with antique copper findings from TierraCast.  There are some stones that I keep returning to in my designing.  Jasper and carnelian always seem to call to me!  Which stones call to you in your designing?

Happy crafting with warm, rich fall colors!

Designer Crafts Connection - Vacation Memories



Hi Crafty Friends,

There will be no craft on my blog today, but I hope you will hop around the other Designer Crafts Connection blogs and see what all the other designers are doing with the Vacation Memories theme.  Just click forward or back on the DCC button to the left of this post.

We all need time to recharge our creative batteries and make memories, and today was a day for that for me.  My hubby and I visited Ft. Ross, a restored Russian fort on the coast of California and read about the history, explored the fort and had a picnic lunch.  We walked down to the cove where I splashed in the clear Pacific, gazed into tide pools and watched a seal swim close by in a kelp bed.  It was wonderfully refreshing with the sun peaking out of the fog and the wind sweeping in from the ocean.  I feel renewed as I always do after a trip to the ocean and ready to start again with fresh inspiration.

I hope you had some refreshing and relaxing times during your vacation this year whether it was a long trip or just a day away!  

Happy Crafting!

Terry
