On a more mundane note, things have been running smoothly. The kids are still loving school and doing very well. Since Makay is the only child home with Beckham any more she thinks she is solely in charge of his learning and development and has taken it upon herself to teach him all kinds of new things including throwing all possible toys down the stairs and how to open the screen door. Thank goodness Beckham isn't the student that our other kids are!
The kids have been enjoying our last days at the park. Fall hit all of the sudden and in full swing so we really won't have much longer for outdoors stuff. This is Easton being a panther and hunting his prey.
My handsome boys got hair cuts again and this time Ryan did them. He loves turning our boys into little neanderthals. 
We were able to eliminate our mold problem in the basement that occurred this summer but lost a few possessions along the way. One of the things we lost were our winter hats and gloves. The cooler weather forced us to the store before we thought we would need to. As many of you know, our house is old and drafty so yes, we are already bundling up inside as well as out.
I've finally been able to make it back to my beloved craft room! 
I rented some library books about jewelry making and got some awesome ideas. One entire book was about using wire, I love it. These earrings are a spiral cage with beads going down the middle. They were too much fun.
This was my first attempt at a more formal piece. I found the center piece in a boutique at a huge discount so I bought it. It was originally a broach but I wanted to do a necklace with an antique feel with it. I have no idea if it turned out well or not. If you want to leave a comment and HONESTLY tell me what you think of it, it would be much appreciated.

I'd wear it! It looks fancy, yet casual. Keep up the good work.
It is quite a striking piece. I love it but am wondering if it keeps its' shape while you wear it around? Have you worn it for a day? It would look great with brown or gold is so formal looking. Look how diverse you've become!
I love the earrings and the necklace! Like your mom, I wondered if it will keep it's shape as you wear it. Very beautiful! There's a class at our local bead shop all on wiring - you would love it! Love Easton in the tree - awesome picture! Question for Ryan - Shouldn't the boys' hair be longer in the cold weather?=) love ya, Kim/Mom
Looks above all else.
Way to go Bern. I feel so lucky to have a "Berni original." Very exclusive. Keep the pictures coming, it's not as good as seeing you in person but it sure helps.
