**New Designs**

Hey everyone. I just wanted to say "hi" and I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. I have been really sick with a virus that sent me to the hospital on Friday afternoon. I was in a lot of pain, so the Doctor gave me morphine for the pain which made me feel even worse! I have had a horrible headache for two days on top of everything else! I hate that stuff! I hope I feel better soon, I've got to pack and we're supposed to go to San Francisco next week for my husbands birthday. I so better not be sick still!!

On a different note, I designed some new jewelry last week and wanted to post photos. A couple of the pieces are a little different for me because I used a different method. Instead of hand wiring the beads, I strung them together. I really like the way they turned out.



"French Hotel"
3 stranded bracelet



"Vintage Mary"

"Summertime"

"American Princess"
Necklace





Well, that's it for now. Check back later this week, I'll be posting photos of my work room for "Where Bloggers Create" hosted by My Desert Cottage. It should be a lot of fun.
Have a great week.
Sincerely,
~Melinda

  6. My best thoughts to you to be all better for your husband's birthday. So sorry to hear that you have been sick. As always I love your jewelry but the princess necklace really speaks to me. Great job on that piece. So go and get a nice cup of hot tea, curl up with a book and blanket, and get some rest. Good thoughts your way.
