Finished! Cellini spiral.

Finally! Finished the darned thing. And I don't think there will be another by my hand. Here are it's baby pictures from March 20, 2010.

One year and 9 months later...ta da! It's finished! Not quite as much fun as I thought it would be and it takes much more concentration than I thought it would. It is very easy to miss one bead and then discover it many beading hours later. Then you get to tear all the way back out to that spot, take the wrong bead out, put the one correct bead in and then continue to bead back in what you just tore out!

Maybe it will find a new home at the Christmas party at work!

Beads, rain, rain, rain, rain......

It was a cold and rainy Sunday!! I think most of the Beady-Eyed Bunch decided to snuggle back down under the covers! But those of us who made it there certainly enjoyed ourselves. Not many pictures - I got a couple but, of course, they were a little blurry!

This is the only picture Vicki would pose for! You know - I never noticed her hands before - she has the most beautiful hands! Unless she is reaching out to choke me as has been the case once or twice in the past.....unprovoked by me, of course....
Nevertheless....here is Vicki and her amazing hands!

Rikki decided to seek a little peace and quiet. I found her very nicely and comfortably curled up on her bed

She made it clear that I was to make myself like a mouse and get scarce!

So I did!

Meanwhile, Brent and Drew watched the Colts play....I didn't know Drew could watch it with his eyes closed! Here is our comfortable guy.....probably he has fainted from the excitement of the Colts actually getting a field goal!

Yep - that's it, Beady Eyed Bunch! I am expecting much more and betterer photo ops at our next meeting! Peggy, Susan (who traveled up from Atlanta) and Brent didn't make the picture show. I am sure I can sneak up on them next time......
See you at the Vernal Equinox!
