A fun & productive weekend here at Peace Creek ~

Just wanted to share a few new projects we've been working on this weekend here at Peace Creek ~ 

My studio rehab  ~  a much needed intervention,

 as my business continues to grow so does the need for better organization.  

Some of the changes are a solder and patina station, metal working island, 

mini office with a view and photography light box for for winter ~ 

A big thanks to my husband Tim, Son Austin, and to my daughter Angela &  friend Kevin 

 we obtained wonderfully positive results  for a very challenging case ~ 

After all the hard work we all went to a super fun pig roast and ckn BBQat a friends farm on the  mountain in a large field of corn ~ a few cold beers and terrific company was just what I needed ~ 

Angela created this amazing message cork board today 

with the corks we've been saving for a few years..

...isn't this cool! 

I've been crocheting at night ....With both of my daughters at Penn State ~ I'm now the only female at home and I have to endure endless hours of football, swamp people and gun shows...

so this is my comfort,  instead of eating ice cream...(laughing) 

Here's a cute little handbag I created ..

I think I'll add a longer over the shoulder strap as well &

maybe a leather and copper monogram charm ~ 

I've been dreaming up some new bracelet concepts ~ here is one  I'm pretty excited about ~  

What do you think? 

And last but not least the winner 

of the "Last Leaf Earrings"  

is Shirley from the Beads & Bread Blog  stop over and visit her~

Congratulations and a big thanks 

to everyone that commented last week

 on my Bead Soup event ~
