I took a break last week and spent 2 nights with a girlfriend who lives wayyyyy across town. We had so much to do. We shopped at tiny cute boutiques. We had to have Happy Hour and lunches at very cute places.
I can't even remember the all names not could I locate them on my own!
My very favorite lunch was at the Queen Creek Olive Mill. What a fun place. We had perfect weather to sit out on the patio and eat our artisan sandwiches.
My friend does everything: sews, knits, crochets, reads and beads. (Goodness knows what else!) I am put to shame. Her friend is encouraging her to sell her creations.

| An awesome combo. |
I bought the black bracelet from a fantastic bead gallery. Jo Anna made the red one but it came home with me! Yeah!!!!
We tried our hands at a knitted/beaded bracelet pattern. It got a little dicey for me! Thank goodness for the excellent tutoring on bead selection and stringing. The results are very nice.

| Mine is gold/bronze with the same clear glass bead. |
The directions specified metallic hand embroidery thread (all 6 strains) for the knitting. Whew, that was a challenge! I learn a lot of little tricks. I had never strung beads on any yarn. I think I'll try again when we find a substitute for the metallic thread. It tends to split and just doesn't feel nice.
Sun Lakes is such a peaceful and charming place. What prompted this sleep over? Her husband is "down under" on a birding trip.
