Even though I live in Arizona it gets cold here in the morning. Today it's 58 but in no time it will be in the 90's. But, in the winter, mornings are pretty cold and when I play golf I take the golf cart and my ears get cold or when I walk my friends dogs my ears and forehead get cold and then I get a headache. While I was down with my foot surgery I decided to make myself an ear warmer. My friends saw them and asked if I could make some for their grand kids back home in Wisconsin. We are meeting for lunch today and they are leaving to go back in a week so I had to hustle. They all have handmade buttons. The dog and duck button have been altered slightly. Most of them are from polymer clay.
This is a Green Bay Packer ear warmer for my friends grandson.
I was sewing the buttons on with Nymo thread because it's so strong. One night we saw Buster running around with something hanging out of his mouth. We chased him around the house for 5 minutes before we finally got him. He took the thread off my table and there was a needle on it. The needle was hanging out of his mouth. He had swallowed the thread. I pulled on the needle and got the thread out. When he was little he would get in the garbage cans and take the dental floss and eat it. He also loves Fireline so I can't leave that out when I'm beading. Most cats like yarn, NOT HIM. He's going to drive me to drink.
CLAY CAMP
This is the first time in 8 years I've missed going to camp with my clay guild. That foot surgery really did me in. I'm just now able to put shoes on and not for long. The nerves are still making sure I know the foot is there. My friends have been sending me pictures and it looks like I missed a great time and a lot of great demos. Hopefully, I'll be able to make it next year and things stop breaking on me.
HALLOWEEN JEWELRY
My niece goes to a lot of dress up Halloween parties so I thought I would make her some jewelry.
The bracelet was done with Kumihimo. Now I only have 12,000,000 Megatamas left to work with.

Your ear warmers and Halloween jewelry are awesome, Bonnie! We certainly missed you this year at camp. Glad you are able to finally wear shoes even if it is just for awhile. You really have a huge collection of those beads. Let me know if you want to sell a few of them. :)
