Had a fun weekend - all of which were not Superbowl related (although I was sad to see the Seahawks lose so badly). I explored Sacramento with a few SnB friends (free museum day), met up with some friends later for several rounds of Scrabble, and then went down to the bay area to visit my inlaws (it was my FIL’s 65th birthday). My hubby even accompanied me to a couple LYS during the Superbowl (bless his heart) - I checked out Commuknity and Rug & Hut. I wasn’t able to get much knitting done because of all the Mandarin homework I had to do (to those who don’t know, I’m taking a Mandarin class, and we have a quiz/test at every class sitting… grrr)
Anyhow, I know this is non-knitting related, but I have recently been trying out beading/jewelry. Here’s the first thing I put together:
I also made some other similarly related fun things, but I can’t show them to you just yet. In fact, there are a bunch of things I can’t post on this blog just yet because I’m involved with several clandestine activities… and I realize how many people actually read/lurk this blog (of which many of you are my personal friends)! You know who you are! =)

Nice nice nice!
Read your comment on my blog … yeah, Commuknity (did I spell it correctly?) is very beautifully decored. But I’ve been there only once … because I found the parking not too convenient. I love Rug&Yarn … like plowing through its messiness to see if I can discovered some treasures. :)

Communknity is a great name for a shop.
Your husband is a sweetie for going to the yarn shop with you.

Those earrings are going to be so versatile. Now you have me wondering what you’re up to. Sneaky, sneaky.

Ruth I love the earrings. My daughter started doing some beaded stuff last year, but none of hers looks this good yet.
