Last Day of Class and Hurricane.

What was left of the hurricane came through late last night.We lost our power about 3:oo am and got it back at 1:00pm but we still done have any water.As I went to bead class today I took a few pics around Eureka Springs of what it did.This house had two trees fall on it.

This is the waterfall in front of my house.I have never seen so much water going over it.I had to drive through water four time just to get to the highway.

Today was the last day of the beading class with Eleanor Lux.If you ever have a chance to take a class with Eleanor,jump at it because she is a great teacher. Above are the things I beaded in class.

This is today's work,all but the hat looking thing(I did it last night).We made a beaded bead and then we got to pick for a box of things that Eleanor had collected.I picked a piece of corral to bead. Not sure if I am done with it yet,I think I may do some more to it.

I loved this class and I am hoping to mix the beads with the felting and maybe the rug hooking.

Bead Class Thorough ESSA With Eleanor Lux

Bead class started Friday with 8 ladies.The class is being held at The Lux Weaving Studio in Eureka Springs.It is a 3 day class thorough ESSA.We are having a great time.I have done very little beading but for some reason I have amused a lot of beads.So, I took this class in the hopes of learning how to use some of them.I would love to mix the rug hooking, needle felting and beading all in one piece.

This is what I did Friday. It is the right angle stitch and it feels like fabric. The glasses in the corner are much needed when working with beads this small.

I love to see the beads like this.Eleanor said working with the beads in a bowl like this helps her work fast.You don't need to see the hole, you just drag your needle through the bowl and pickup a bead.

This is my work for today.We moved to the peyote stitch and I worked on a round piece.I did get more of it done at home tonight I will show you pics later.

Work Today Was a Killer;)

Today at work at War Eagle Cavern I had to do little cleaning around the grounds.As I was walking, I come across this old jar and pop bottle.I thought they made a great picture.

We have had so much rain this year that we have all kinds of mushrooms.I wish I knew more about them to know their names.This was a cluster of very round and puffy looking ones.

Here are some I could see from 50 feet or more.Very bright yellow.

This was a tiny,thin stemmed mushroom.It was about 1 1/2 ins.tall.

But, I think this was the coolest one I found today.I would really like to know the name of this one.It was pure white and looked like it had petals like a rose.

This little guy was hiding at the base of a tree when I was picking up sticks that had fallen from the trees in the last storm.He was so cute.

I took a few pictures and then let him go.I don't know if I can handle any more work day like today.

Tomorrow I will start a class through ESSA with Eleanor Lux, on beading.I think I have everything ready so now I just need a good night sleep.I was hoping to take a class all year but this is the only time I could get off work.It is just a 3 day class and most of it is over the weekend.

Live Deeply,
