What's on your Worktable Wednesday
I can't wait to wear this one! Keeping on my ocean and tropical theme, I pulled out this flamingo charm that I bought a while ago at a bead store in Las Vegas, called Bead Jungle. They have an awesome collection of charms, and I have picked up quite a few there when we go visit the hubby's parents. To go along with my flamingo, I pulled out all the tropical blue rounds that I have, and some pink & turquoise cubes, just for a bit of variety, as well as the matching blue and pink Swarovski crystals.
I originally thought I was going to do a double stranded bracelet, since the cool flamingo charm is much bigger than I normally work with, but when I started working on that, I didn't really like the way it was looking. So I took that apart, and started working on something else. I'm pretty happy with the way it's turning out, although I can't decide if I like both colors of the little rounds, or if I want to switch one of them out with a similar color of Swarovski crystal. What do you think, any suggestions?

Color Palette Mondays
This weekend we went to Las Vegas to celebrate my in-laws's birthdays. In case you don't know, it's HOT in Las Vegas this time of year. I think it was somewhere around 110 degrees both days - that's way too hot for me! On our drive home, we saw this beautiful sunset, and we stopped to take a few pictures. This is one of my favorites...
That's my husband taking his own pictures, I just can't resist snapping pictures of him taking pictures when we're out :) I had every intention of posting this Sunday night, when we got home, but we hit a big traffic jam, and the normally 4-ish hour trip ended up taking us 9+ hours. It was exhausting, and since we left later than we probably should have, we didn't make it home until nearly 1am! So, I'm a day late, but I hope you enjoy this one anyway, I sure did!
Did you do anything exciting over the weekend?
