</tbody></table>I had been wanting to learn how to do Viking Knit for a while now and just didn't have the supplies on hand that I needed to do the technique. Then I received an email from a vendor that was going to be at a local bead show and was going to teach the class and have the supplies needed. So I took her class and really enjoyed learning. Now I have been going back and forth between making Viking Knit and Kumihimo pieces. Now I need to take the time to add all those bead caps and clasps I also purchased to finish all the pieces I made. ;)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729162043171007854.post-32567788458657252142011-07-14T14:37:00.001-04:002011-07-14T14:41:04.109-04:00Poem ~ My friend<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My Friend<o:p></o:p></span></em></span></b></div><em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></em><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><br />

This video shows how kumihimo braiding is actually done with a step by step instruction. I did not do the video, but found it on you tube and hope it helps those of you searching on this techneque. This person explains it step by step and slow enough for you to try it at the same time. Good luck to all of those attempting this for the first time. WARNING...Once you get the motions, you may become addicted to this techneque! ;)<br />

Now I seem to be hooked on beaded kumihimo braiding. I love the different looks you get with how you place the beads. And look... it is complete with end caps and a toggle! =)<br />

<br />
This rainbow pieces below is one of the latest Kumihimo necklace and bracelet sets I made that I actually finished the ends. It is a favorite of mine and was already given to my mother in law this past week. She loved it and wore it right away. Now I need to make another! I will have to start stringing the beads to see if I have enough to make another. This is a nice color combo that allows you to wear this with many things.<br />

Sorry there is no photo as it was taken out of the oven when everyone arrived and we started dipping in with nachos and spreading it on French bread. Makes me want to make this right now just thinking about it. Yum! <br />

Today we are enjoying the day off. And I am counting my blessings. Never take the day for granted. Sadly a neighbor friend of ours decided to stop chemo. It is a reminder not to take for granted that we have forever.<br />

Make the extra effort and time for those you care about.

This one was my favorite...<br />

Here is a collage of of the cards I made so far...<br />
<br />

</tbody></table> Notice the one card with the upside-down stamping. I didn't want to toss out the card after realizing I stamped it upside-down, so I made the writing inside work with the outside. The inside says "No matter how you look at it, you & your family are wished a blessed Thanksgiving!". That made me happy that I didn't have to toss out this card. I liked it to much to toss. I enjoyed the chalking and popping effect using Versa Mark ink and chalks. The other cards I took a 12 x 12 sheet and was able to make several cards from that one piece. (Another grateful moment that I figured out a way to save the card.)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729162043171007854.post-31622305670926306082010-11-17T15:52:00.001-05:002010-11-17T16:42:52.582-05:00Happy Thanksgiving!I try to reflect everyday on moments I am grateful for. From the moment I get up, I say thank you for the HOT shower. As I have learned that is something we take for granted. After living in an apartment that seemed to not have a hot shower, yet I could get hot water at the sink and in the kitchen, the shower would turn cold within the first few minutes. The landlord had a plumber come out and after several visits from the plumber, the cold water remained and I moved to a new apartment. So ever since, I say THANK YOU when I am under that nice HOT water.<br />
<br />
Through out the day, I make sure to say thank you even if it is a whisper to myself and say I am grateful for what ever good is happening. Simple things like being able to have one on one time with my boys, lunch date with my husband, being able to enjoy a day out with friends. I truely believe that when you reflect on what you are grateful for, more will come to you. (Hmmm, this makes me think of if I am grateful for my ONE son eating what I make for dinner more then once a week, that he might eat more of the things I make through out the week. Hmmmmm? I will keep trying for that!)<br />
<br />
May you all be blessed and surrounded by loved ones this Thanksgiving.<br />
<br />

I almost thought of not doing it all this Halloween and changed my mind. My one son came home from school and said. THANKS MOM, it looks great. So that made it all worth while.<br />

This is what he walked in the door to...<br />

I made this Halloween Welcome banner at a crop with a group of friends. We decided to make these as a group project for that month. It was interesting to see how different each persons turned out. I made 3 different size tags and used the paper tearing techneque across the bottom of each tag and layered the three tags. Then embellished each tag. The WELCOME letters were chipboard letters and painted with acrylic paint. The ghost are Sizzix die cut ghost. I used an assortment of ribbons and yarn, silk fall leaves, buttons, stickers, and Jolee embellishments. Some items came from the swaps that our one group did together.<br />

While some finished theirs at the cave, I only made it this far before having to go. I will have to post a photo of the finished piece once I have completed it. I have made it all the way around with the beads and petals and now need to add the crystals. Not sure just yet about adding those. Suz, I need your help on the next step. LOL! I would have gotten to this step had i not had to be different and place my petals behind the gold beads and left them in the front like we were shown. But I liked how it looked when seeing the petals from the back, so I created more work for myself while learning a new thing. What can I say?<br />

I had so much fun learning this techneque that I continued to make several others that weekend and even tried a 12 strands Kumihimo braid later in the week.<br />

It was very helpful!<br />
<br />
Here is my first attempt I made adding beads at the bead cave weekend. I added beads to the 8 strands. I made a few without beads first to make sure I felt comfortable enough and not missed any steps that would leave a gap in the braid. I enjoyed the bead adding techneque.<br />
