silly & fun




Just wanted to share some jewelry that Clarine created with her Halloween juju beadz! They came out super cute and fun! She also asked me to make her a Scooby Doo bead and thought I'd share that too. Scooby doobie doo! Hope you all had a great Halloween! Now that my kids are older, I'm bummed they don't go out and trick-or-treat - I don't get to "check" all of their candy anymore. :)

Beach bums for a day




What a gorgeous day to take off and go to the North Shore with my friend Alicia! The water was incredible and as usual, we were hunched over the sand looking for treasure (shells). We were lucky today and found a whole bunch of teeny-tiny ones. Got to play tourist too since she's going to featured in a magazine back in Genova and they wanted some pics of her doing things in Hawaii.

Fishing Tournament


The Keehi Boat Club Wahine Fishing Tournament was held this past weekend. When the men have a tournament, there's often a pretty woman in a bikini or pareau to take pics with the men and their catch upon their return. Well, Kylen and Cole were volunteered to be the "men" that took pics with the women and their catch when they arrived. They were supposed to take off their shirts but were too shy... at least they had big smiles! And that's a nice mahi mahi that the Kiyomi brought in! Too bad Kevin didn't include the fishes head in the pic, yah?

night lights!


The new glass I ordered arrived last Wednesday! Yay - it's Christmas or my birthday in October! Never mind, cancel the birthday, I really don't need to get older sooner. :)


I added some night lights and jewelry to etsy.com and more will be coming soon. Here's one of my latest night lights... doesn't it look yummy?!

Skinny Pigs???

Saw these funky animals at Koolau Pets today while my kids were having their teeth cleaned. They're called Skinny Pigs a.k.a. hairless guinea pigs. I think they're cute in a weird way... my favorite's the guy in the food bowl. Which one do you like?

FIRE!

Kevin went to Molokai this past weekend to check on his fishing hideout - a 20' container that now has water (via a hose) but no electricity. Woke up at 4:30 am to the brightest sky he's ever seen without a sun. Snapped this pic as he was leaving and hoped the container would still be there when he returned. A big thank you to the fire fighters that soon arrived and saved his hideout as well as the nearby homes.

I "wuff" The Bead Gallery!

That's dogspeak for 'I love The Bead Gallery'! Are you stuck and don't know what kind of jewelry to create with your juju beadz? Jamie and Michelle and the whole Bead Gallery gang are always so creative and helpful with jewelry design ideas. They helped me create this necklace with these puppy beads yesterday. It's so fun, I want to keep it! Then I created the butterfly and flower necklace... I want to keep this one too! :)
