LOL! I love the idea of a tequila shot--have I mentioned I'm a big fan of Tequila?

I've done some in peyote. It's a nice stitch for complicated patterns. I usually use brick stitch as I'm more comfortable with it. I recently learned an open net stitch that makes a really nice bag if you don't want a picture in it.

This one is done in the netting stitch. I kept it for myself.


This is a watch I made a while ago. I think my sister got this one for Christmas. I don't have any pics of my bracelets uploaded, but I will get some tonight. (I'm supposed to be working right now! )

finn's_mom: Yes I made the set I sent you at Christmas.

lv4dogs: I got the bear at a local native craft store. If you would like a couple, just PM me your address. I'd be glad to send you some. Nanook was Heyoka's shelter name, but it just didn't suit him at all. Far too serious a name for that big goofball!
