It's been 1 week since Elsie was born. Needless to say, I've been busy, and I have no idea when I'll get back to beading. She's a good baby. Sleeps good, eats good, poops good! She's good!

Justin and I had our baby on Thursday July 7th. Elsie Ann was born at 8:14am after my water broke on Wednesday night at 5:15. She weighed 8lbs 7oz and was 21 inches. So far life at home is going wonderfully. (Knock on wood) My mom has been here for the last two nights, and has been a great help. Right after delivery 7-7-11 4 days old: 7-11-11

Happy 4th of July! No going to fireworks tonight! It's really humid here in Minnesota, and I'm already extremely puffy and swollen. At my 39 week appointment, the doctor said I have about a pound of water in each of my legs! It hurts to walk and move my toes, as they look like little sausages. So, I'm working on necklaces and doing some cleaning before the baby!

Spent Friday night going through my beads. It's like Christmas all over again when I find something I forgot I had!

I'm a big fan of getting my beads and pendants at Beadniks in the Mall of America. Justin and I live 10 minutes from the MOA, and I treat it as my go-to mall. It's not something special to me, like it was when I was little. I think before I moved to Minnesota I had been to the MOA maybe 3 times. Now I'm there at least once a week. I think it's great frustrating when people stop and disrupt mall "

All the beads on this necklace are recycled from other necklaces that were given to me to "do whatever with." I played with it for awhile, and thought why not just string the beads? I'm happy with how it turned out. I had my 37 week appointment today, baby is good, I'm uncomfortable, but all in all, things are good. I can't wait to be done!

It's beautiful outside - time for a flowery necklace. This necklace just makes me happy that spring is here - at least for today. The  rest of the week is supposed to be cool and rainy, and Friday's forecast is a wintry mix! Hopefully KARE 11's weather team is wrong. Have I mentioned how good it feels to be back?!?!

I made this necklace for my niece Caitlyn - I plan on giving it to her over Easter.  When I saw Caitlyn at my baby shower, she was wearing the other necklace I made for her. I figured it's time to get her a new one! With Caitlyn at my baby shower

Sorry that I've been MIA for the last 4 months. I t's been crazy to say the least. I found out November 1st that Justin and I are expecting a baby the beginning of July.  That surprising news put necklace making on hold for a little bit! After not making necklaces on a regular basis, I just didn't feel in the mood to pick it up again. (I'm sure people go through these stages, right?)I'd look at

My neice Caitlyn LOVES making necklaces with me. She is a great little helper, and has pretty expensive good taste when it comes to picking out pieces of jewelry. She made this necklace for her mom's birthday. She did it all by herself!  Then, Caitlyn needed a necklace for herself! She just needed this peace sign, and did a pretty good job at putting it together. Last weekend, my family

This necklace is for my nephew Connor's Kindergarten teacher.  I think it's sweet that when you are in elementary school, you get your teacher a present, and in return they usually get you something as well. Kids in elementary school get a "Holiday Party" and get to spend their last afternoon before break eating cookies and exchanging gifts. (At least that's how it was when I was little) I

Yes, it's true. I am still alive. Alive and well... maybe not so much. It was a great Thanksgiving holiday at my parent's house in Wisconsin. My sister Kinsey and I even braved the freezing Wisconsin weather to hit up Target's Black Friday sale. (We got my parents a new 40 inch Westinghouse TV) However, the reason I've been missing in blogging is because I got sick the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

This necklace is for my niece Caitlyn. A month or so ago, Caitlyn was going through my pictures of necklaces, and seemed to be drawn to the ones with "diamonds" and "gemstones."  This doesn't surprise me, as when we went to Disney World a few years back, she wanted to buy a HUGE rock that looked like a diamond. My sister Kyrstin is Caitlyn's Godmother, and is going to give this to her for

Lori Anderson over at Pretty Things held a jewelry swap. The idea was to swap a piece of jewelry that hasn't sold, and give it a new look. I thought this idea was brilliant, and just had to be part of it. This is what I sent to Marianna Boylan.

Here in Minnesota (Minneapolis) we've been in a Winter Storm Warning for 24 hours or so. I couldn't be happier! I love this time of year. It rained all day yesterday, and today they anticipate up to 10 inches of snow! I woke up this morning to probably 2 inches, and already feel the need to put up the Christmas tree and start playing Christmas music. I won't though! One of the radio stations is

There were so many fun costumes. Billy Mays, Marilyn Monroe, Dwight from The Office, Indiana Jones, Luigi, a hunter, Glinda, a runner, and so many others. I do have to say that the Billy Mays costume was pretty good. This

I've been sitting on this necklace since Labor Day weekend.  First I ran out of beads that I wanted to use. Second, I couldn't find any more beads to add to it, and third, I kind of forgot about it!

A few weekends ago I went home to my parents, and spent a few hours on Saturday with my niece Caitlyn. She came to Shopko with me, and we headed to the Halloween section. You should have seen us. I was throwing costumes on her right there in the aisle over her clothes, as she was just giddy in what we were going to try on next. She ended up finding a witches costume that she just had to have.

It's offically MEA break (teacher conference) and I'll be getting a lot of rest. I finished this up tonight, and started working on another piece! I'm really excited to finish it and show it off!

I found this broach and had to have it. I weaved some purple beads through a chain and attached it to both sides of the broach, then added a different chain to finish it off. Now for the winner of the October giveaway.According to my 8th graders, the winner of the "Come Find Me" necklace is Teresa. Congratulations!

I bough the Ceramic Bird Pendant from Spirted Earth a few weeks back, and it has been sitting on the coffee table ever since. Sunday was a good day for me to sit and dive into it.

I got asked by my High School Business Ed. teacher, and my Students Supporting Students club advisor if I'd make her a necklace that represented her son Brextin who passed away in May, just shy of his 3rd birthday. Ms. (Randi) Stanley (She was my teacher, it's hard to call her anything by Ms.) asked for a sunflower necklace, as she says it reminds her of Brextin since they come in so many

Lori Anderson has a new website and is celebrating by having a giveaway. I love what she creates with beads. I wish I was this talented. Check out her blog to get entered for the book giveaway, and check out the new website as well.

I spent my Saturday with my family and my Godparents for our "Christmas." We've decided to move our celebration to a time away from the Holidays as we are all so busy. This year we held it at Irvin Park in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. The park has a zoo and a play area for the kids. We had a great day, perfect weather and good conversation. My Godparents (Sue and Gary) went to High School with my

My intention was to do some grading and unit planning tonight. I did get things accomplished. I got speech grades recorded, and I started to work on some notes and video clips for my next unit we're starting on Monday. (A unit on the Delivery of the Speech) I was in the middle of watching a video on youtube that I'm planning on having my students critique, when my school laptop died. I guess I

The first weekend after being back to school was great. Very relaxing, lots of beading (thanks to getting some in the mail), lots of cleaning, and lots of sleeping. Justin and I were on the way to the gym on Saturday when I grabbed the mail. I HAD to open it to see the goodies I got from Spirted Earth. I couldn't wait to get home and start working with what I got. Flower Pendant from

It's done. This necklace that I've been working on for almost a week is finally done. It took me forever because school started up again on Tuesday and I need to get used to being tired and making necklaces. It doesn't help that I already caught a cold. The beads for this piece came from Goody Beads and The Bead Monkey.

No necklace yesterday. No neclace today. Probably no necklace tomorrow. School started on Tuesday. I'm at a new school this year, after that debacle of a school I taught disciplined at last year.  I'm teaching 8th grade and 10th grade English, 11th grade Speech, and 12th grade Reading. I've not been this tired or pooped out in a long time. The good news is I actually feel like a teacher

I purchased this focal piece after reading Lori Anderson's post. I found Barbara Bechtel of Floridity on etsy and made a purchase. It's from the Whisper Collection- Hugs and Kisses. I found some stones that resembled the focal piece and spaced them between wooden balls. I love how beautiful the piece is, and can't wait to get more from Floridity. Tomorrow is the first day of school. Still

I know. I know. It's September 1st. I just see winter, snow, and ice when I see this necklace, hence the name. It's similar to Tutti Frutti - as my sister-in-law requested one in silver. If she doesn't want it, it's up for grabs. I'll let you know.

I've had this focal piece for a long time and never knew how I wanted to use it.  It's made out of leather, and just fell in love with it when I first saw it. I'd use it when starting with an idea, but would always "throw" it back in my bin of pendants. This time I'm actually satisfied with how it looks.

This is a custom-order for Laura. She plans on gifting it to her sister for Christmas. The pendant, just like the one used in Zig Zag Stop was purchased at The Bead Monkey in Minneapolis. I love the look of it - and it's just a hard plastic, so I got two! I might go back and get more. They had different shapes and colors.

I spent my Saturday at my brother's house. Him and his wife were having a family/friend get together. Food, movie on the lawn, and just a chance to get together. My younger sister Kinsey will turn 23 on September 5th, so I gave her her birthday card and gift today. The card I got her was about how one sister cut the other's bangs, and they were crooked.

These clear venetian style beads have alternating white and purple stripes. I loved them as soon as I saw them on Goodybeads, but didn't realize they were so big! Anyway, love how this turned out. It's noisy here today. They are re-roofing the apartment complex, and I woke up to banging and hammering and lots of shingles on the porch! The sad thing is, it's so beautiful out, and I can't open

Here is another necklace that I made for Liz's IVF treatment silent auction. The first one was Golden Delicious, and now here's Rolls So Deep. I love the color of green on the pendant.  Well, I just LOVE this pendant! I bought it back in April, and have been holding onto it, waiting for the perfect time.

Andrea and Jeremy got married on Saturday. It was a beautiful day all around. The best part for me was seeing my necklaces worn by people I didn't know! It's one thing having my family and friends wearing the necklaces I made, but to see people I don't know, and will never see again wearing TyneBoden Necklaces, was such a compliment. Andrea used the necklaces as gifts for all those involved in

I re-did my "Ocean Breathes Salty" necklace. Everytime I'd look at it, I had no desire to wear it and would crinkle up my nose in disgust! I tore it apart and started fresh with most of the same materials. What do you think? Smart choice? The first time around My new and "improved" version... with a new name!

My great Aunt Aggie brought this home from Hawaii for my mom this winter, and my mom asked me to give it a new chain. Before After Again I made my own chain, I don't think I'll go back to the bulk stuff for quite some time. The original had a magnetic clasp, I tried to salvage it, but it didn't go so well. Instead, I used a toggle clasp.

It was on hanging on a plain gold chain, and asked me to revamp it so she could wear it again. I made the entire chain - link by link. It took some time, but was well worth it.

Finally! A post and a necklace that is just made because I wanted a necklace with some yellow. I'll be gone all weekend at Log Jam Fest in Phillips, WI. So necklaces will be back sometime on Monday... maybe Tuesday.

I'm pretty sure this is the last necklace for Andrea's wedding. This one is for her friend Blair. I think this is one of my new favorites.

Another wedding necklace. I'm hoping for Andrea's mother-in-law. I chose this design because back in January 2008 I was a bridesmaid in my college friend/roommate's wedding. Sarah made our necklaces, and at the time I was baffled. How can someone do this?!? I loved it. It was simple enough to wear with a white t-shirt, or elegant enough to go with a little black dress. I wear it constantly

Honestly, I think this necklace is a little silly.  If you know me, animals make me nervous. Always have, always will. I can't imagine wearing a horse around my neck! This necklace is for Andrea's aunt. Let me quote to you what Andrea requested, "She is from texas so something western looking, if you wanted to put a horse on it I'm sure she would like that." Well, I put a horse on it!

OOOH... this necklace is so small. This is for Andrea's flower girl. I used the same pieces I used for Andrea's, but as you can see, a lot simpler. All of the necklaces are completed for Andrea's wedding. I'll be posting one a day until they are all posted. Tonight is Andrea's last fitting with her dress, and I'll be meeting her again to make sure all looks good. It seems as though all my posts

Sorry for not posting all week! I've been busy! Well, not really. I've been lazy. This necklace is made for Andrea's wedding. I'm hoping for Louise, Andrea's mom. It's simple enough for her, I think she'll like it.

Here is the final product. Andrea's necklace to be worn on her wedding day is done! I went to the bridal store last Tuesday, she tried it on with her dress, and it was a little too long. I made some adjustments and here it is!  I'm so happy with it. Andrea's happy with it. My mom and 2 sisters are happy with it.

For Everclear was made for my sister-in-law April. I emailed her earlier this week asking what she wanted, as she was the only one left I hadn't made a necklace for. She wanted someting with a riboon, and three strands. She went to the hospital yesterday morning for a regular doctor's appointment, and they ended up keeping her to have the baby! I knew I had to get the necklace done as I wanted

I wish you could have seen me making this necklace last night. (Well, maybe I don't). Wednesday nights Justin has class at Hamline University - he's going for his MBA, so I have the tv and apartment to myself! It was sooooooo hot yesterday. 93 degrees at 6:00pm - felt like 105 is what Belinda Jensen said at the 6:00pm news! I plan on making her a necklace and sending it to the station to get some

I met Andrea last night at the Bridal Shop for her dress fitting. I brought with me the necklace I have made for her, as well as the other three that are complete. This is one of them. Check out Dove Nets and Pieces of the Night. This necklace is made for her pianist Emily. I know Emily, (went to school together) so this one I had a good idea of what to make.

Plus, she has one, as well as my mom and my older sister Kyrstin. I just started making necklaces for myself, but was getting to the point where people were asking if I’d make one for them. It wasn’t until my little sister said

Dove Nets was made for Andrea to gift as a "thank you" for being part of her wedding. Like I said earlier, she gave me full reign.  I made this necklace lop-sided after seeing something similiar in design online. It was difficult for me to not make it balanced and parallel, but the more I look at it, the more I'm enjoying the look. When Justin got home, I asked him what he thought. He picked it

The necklace is complete - just finished it last night, but don't want to share it all on the blog, as I want to show it to Andrea first.

This necklace is one of the necklaces made for the wedding in August. Andrea has me making her necklace to be worn the day of the wedding, and requested 7 other necklaces to be given to gifts to the mothers, personal attendant, musicians, etc. Andrea gave me a few color ideas, but told me I have full reign. It's a little nerve-racking, but these aren't necklaces to be worn on the actual day, they

I began this necklace on Sunday and just didn't like what I had. It looked very "blah." I put it aside and came back to it today, taking it apart completely. I dug through all of my beads and pulled colors that would make it look not so "blah." I looped the different beads together one at a time to make the body of the necklace, and added simple chain for the piece that hangs on the back of the

Believe it or not, the focal piece was once an earring! Who would wear such a large piece on her ear? I found this, and it's pair at a second-hand store a few weeks back thinking that it would look very cute as a focal piece to a necklace. I snipped the earring hook off, attached a jump ring and attached it to a leather cord. I then added four simple black beads to the cord with some bits of

I spent my Wednesday night searching for the right beads. It's been awhile since I just went bead shopping not looking for anything in particular. I just took my time looking until something caught my eye. I first went to Sea of Beads in Lakeville and grabbed some seed beads for the necklaces I'll be making for Andrea's wedding. I then drove up Cedar Ave to the Mall of America and made my way to

This necklace was made for a friend of my sister Kyrstin, Liz. I guess Liz is my friend too as I've known her the majority of my life. Liz would come over to our house for birthday parties and sleep overs, and me being the younger sister, would tag along with the older girls. Liz asked me to make a necklace that she can wear this fall when her and her husband go through IVF. Liz said, "I want

It's hard to tell in this photo, but the beads are red clay beads with neutral blotches from Goodybeads.com It's just connected with wooden beads that are neutral/shades of yellow, intermixed with different types of chain. Are you wondering about the name of this necklace? I've been listening to some new music lately, thanks to Pandora and Justin (he gets tired of Lady Gaga and other "Top 40" so
