Giveaway winner! and working working

Thank you so much for all your great comments for my Blog partner giveaway! 

And the Winner is........  Staci Louise and I didn't even rig it!  At least I know you will check back to see if you won ;-) 
Also, I have an extra copy of Bead Unique Magazine that I would like to give away.  They sent me 3 copies!  Please leave a comment below if you would like to have a chance to win the magazine.  I'll announce the winner within a few days :-)
and working working...
I made some new beads pendants and buttons yesterday with my morning off because of the snow.  I was really happy with how some of them were shaping up.  I used a bisque fired pendant as a stamp and I think I love it.  More concentric circles for me as usual but these have a rough edge to the concentric circle orderliness.  As of now they are reminding me of oyster shells, but that could all change as I glaze them and get them fired.

And buttons!  I am really working on the buttons!  This firing may be 1/3 buttons.  Fiber Artists rock my socks and I want to offer  more for the great fiber artist and knitting/quilting/fabric/yarn shops out there.

So this weekend will be all about firing the kiln and getting ready for my next trunk show.  I think it would be awesome to get a ton of trunk shows scheduled for this spring/summer..... then I could just go to all the bead shows and shop, instead of setting up booths.... just thinking out loud ....  could be fun!
