Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:This is a gorgeous combo, Fashion Chick! Love these colors together!

Fashion Chick aka SC says:Thanks,Lynn! The picks have been so good, I decided to join the fun.

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Glad you did! We’ve missed your “picking” around here! What’s new with you?
On Jul 08, 2009 at 1:49 am #
Fashion Chick aka SC says:Not much. I want to make something new, but can’t decide what to work on. I’m sure that I’ll come up with an idea. Can’t wait for the sterling to arrive at Lima’s.

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Me, too! I think it’s being delaying because of their big move.
So you’ve got Beader’s Block? LOL That’s how I feel some days, too. Except for some pieces that have been commissioned for me to make specifically for some clients, I haven’t been making a lot lately.

Fashion Chick aka SC says:That’s what happens sometimes, but once we get going, Watch Out!! LOL

Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:love these browns and blues, Fashion Chick! Great pick! Ever find you can’t sleep because you’re designing in your head? And then you can’t remember the next morning how you were going to put it together?? I’m at that point….sigh!
On Jul 08, 2009 at 2:16 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:That’s so true! I’ll start beading and nothing can stop me! Sounds like you’re the same way, Fashion Chick!
On Jul 08, 2009 at 2:17 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Oh, yes, Sue — I’ve had that happen to me! Very frustrating!!!
On Jul 08, 2009 at 2:29 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:For instance, i bought some lucite flowers that are center drilled and I’ve been working on the design in my head – not good, cuz I can’t remember exactly what I came up with! I have to find some time to actually sit down and work with them!
On Jul 08, 2009 at 2:46 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Do you sketch out your ideas, Sue, or make notes?
On Jul 08, 2009 at 2:56 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:i’ve done both, but not regularly. it really depends on whether I have the design idea firmly in my mind. Which is funny, really, because I can’t seem to hold anything in my mind for long! LOL!

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:I see the night owls were at it again!
I really love these colors, Fashion Chick, and of course the starfish! As if you couln’t tell by Sam’s graduation necklace! (she wore it again the other night!)

Chicky Suz aka Susan Z says:I love this pick! Great color combo!!

Mary S - Sweet Chick says:Love these stones together! So Pretty!
I can so relate to the beaders block!
And also coming up with an idea and when you get the chance to do something with it, you can’t remember your idea!!! argh!!
On Jul 08, 2009 at 8:37 am #
DOG Chick aka Angela says:I love these colors too! Jeanne you are turning me into a starfish lover! I think I will save this one as I have a bead with these exact colors!
On Jul 08, 2009 at 8:48 am #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:Glad I could inspire you, Angela!
I originally bought the starfish because of the message on the back. I may hae to get more though. Such a great summery pendant!
I think of you often. Especially as we get closer to Sam’s departure date. I couldn’t imagine 3 weeks without contact.

Milli aka Big Kitty says:Makes me think of wide stretches of deserted beach under a perfect blue sky with just a few wisps of cloud… sea oats waving in the gentle breeze…

Fashion Chick aka SC says:Thank you ladies! I’m so happy you like it!
