Charlie watching me and trying to convince me to go play ball a little earlier than usual. Hi! So much has been going on and so many weeks have gone by without an update from me and well, I felt I should get to it! We've relocated again... well, technically, we are still in the middle of the transition because our house has yet to sell in Fayetteville. We had a good offer from an

4-18-2012 More - What I've Been Up To on the Beading Table

2012-04-18T13:15:00.009-05:00

Here's another update about what I've been doing... I have a few that still need photos, but hopefully I will get to that soon. Anyway, here we go!I made this Colorful Cats cuff for my friend, Pam. I added a beaded edging to take it up a notch and am glad I did this as I think it gives it a little extra oomph.The following cuffs are not total re-do's, I just switched out the toggle for a more

4-4-12 What I've Been Beading

2012-04-04T12:57:00.016-05:00

I can't believe it's been so long since I have updated my blog!! I've thought about it, but haven't actually made it here til now. I've been beading and training the wild child, Sage, for life in our house and of course homeschooling and managing the kids. This is the first day of our spring break.... the public school had their's a couple of weeks ago, but it was also the same time we had a

Busy and Not Very Beady Motivated 2-9-2012

2012-02-09T15:42:00.011-06:00

Hi! Life sure has been busy in the Ahleman household... we've got a new foster after having a little over a week off from getting Hootie adopted. This time - and for the very first time, I might ad - we are taking care of a little chihuahua. She is adorable, about 6 months old, 4.9 lbs and her name is Twinkie. She's been in the shelter pretty much since birth, she and her littermates ended up

Sorry I've been so slow with updating my blog... I have a good excuse... actually a few :-) We've been fostering some dogs... 1 adult dog and 3 puppies since the last week of December. The nice thing is that, aside from the fun we've had with all of them, we've found them all homes too. We are working with a small shelter in the next county that is filled to the rim with dogs and cats. Their

Closing

2012-01-06T13:53:00.003-06:00

Well, I've decided to close my Artfire shops. I have noticed a significant lack of traffic to the site and have not seen any advertising by Artfire - just individuals doing to the promoting and whatnot to drive traffic to the site. It's disappointing, but what broke the camel's back was the new assurance program and the rude and disrespectful manner in which it has been handled by the Artfire

Well, I thought I should do a post of what I've been up to creatively.... it's been a busy month, but I am happy to say that I finished up a couple of things and did a couple of new items. Most will end up in my shop, two were for my kids. I have a couple of works-in-progress that I will include in another post. I hope to finish them before the new year... but that will depend on the new foster

Just in case you are curious about what we do for Betty and the pups every day....

2011-12-16T10:53:00.002-06:00

It's Dec. 16, 2011 and we have been done with our part of taking care of Betty and her puppies - another volunteer stepped up to help and we are on the back burner in case our help is needed again. I can't say I'm that upset, I don't mind not spending 2 hours in the car every day going back and forth. And I also don't mind because we realized we are still hooked on Fiona and while this is fun, we

Betty the Pit Bull and 12 Puppies 12-5-2011

2011-12-05T22:25:00.011-06:00

After we lost Fiona we sort of shut down. We just went through the motions and did a lot of crying and moping. Well, I guess God had other plans because we were presented with the opportunity to help rescue a pit bull in North Little Rock. The poor little girl was found in a ditch eating paper by a good Samaritan. Betty was obviously malnourished/starving/near death and very obviously pregnant.

2011-12-01T08:03:00.008-06:00

I haven't blogged in a while and I haven't beaded either. At first it was because I didn't have time with the new puppy that we rescued, Fiona. But, sadly, she started having seizures 10 days after we found her and they wouldn't stop. We elected to put her to sleep instead of having her suffer because the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. I never want to have to go to an Animal

Sorry I missed Monday's post, but we've had a bit of excitement around here. My horoscope was actually correct this month when it mentioned an addition to the family... a new baby. Its a girl! We found a puppy wondering around one of the roads on the way home.... an area that is rather country so we didn't do much door to door searching for owners. Plus, she was rather young and in rough shape so

Well, it's a new month and I'm ready to change the format of my blog posts again. I think it's been about 2 months since I tried doing a post every work day, and I did pretty good, but it's time to admit that it was just too much. I don't think it's really helped me get more viewers, but who knows. It did help me get projects finished, but I do still have some UFOs and now I find that I have 4

When I Win the Lottery Thursday 10-27-2011 RV

2011-10-27T12:43:00.007-05:00

I've always wanted an RV. Simple or big and sexy, I don't really care, I just know that for all of the driving around we do on trips (I really don't like to fly) an RV would really come in handy. I haven't decided on a make or model or even if I'd rather have one that gets towed behind a truck or one that can tow a small car. I just want one and so of course, when we win the lotto, it is on our

I haven't gotten much done aside from the cuffs yesterday and the set of 12 navy paw prints above. The others are all still in progress as of tonight. I have a good excuse, though, we went on a mini vacation to the Grand Canyon via Albuquerque. We had a great time and I can't wait to go back. Especially to Albuquerque and the Painted Desert.... some day :-)

Today I have completed an order of 34 tiny beaded paw prints (pict. shows 25) in navy and white size 15/0s Delicas. They are in the mail and hopefully make it to their new home in a couple of days. The lady who purchased them is making 17 pairs of stud earrings (gluing them onto flat headed stud earrings) for her daughter and fellow cheerleaders. I will actually be making 12 more in size 11/0s
