Imagine 8 girls in a room. It doesn’t only sound wonderful in the ears of a guy, but also in my ears, at least when you combine it with millions of pearls.

It is nice to be a software engineering girl most of the time, but when it comes to girl friends it’s not the perfect job. And Amadeus not the perfect place to find them. I’ve been looking for shopping friends for two years now! So I made up my mind and invited all girls I know about to a pearl day at my place. Anthony was away skiing.

During the week we went on lunchtime to buy pearls for our saturday creations.

We ate lunch in the garden, and then we installed us around a double livingroom table.

Alice had a huge amount of pearls and was as busy as all the others.

I think about half of us didn’t do peals before, but lots of funny creations came out of the day. In total I think we were pearling six hours. It was not as much talk as ‘normal’ girl dinners: too much concentration.

In the evening we made pastasallad. It was hard to make room for it on the table.

I love this view of the table completely overfull of pearls. And on the left we have some of the creations of the day.

Monday morning

Posted in Garden, Pearls at 12:00 pm by tesstess

This morning I started by eating a breakfast consisting of raspberries with some serial under. Very delicious.

Then I took some photos of the bracelet I finished yesterday. It’s Odile who taught me how to do it.

 

It was not as complicated as it looks, but it still took some hours of course. For me it’s a new style of pearling to use fish thread and go back and forth as in this bracelet, a fun technique, because it opens up so many new possibilities!

And then suddenly, when I was sitting here surfing on the terrasse, a snake cames from the grass into the flowerbed just two meters from me. I got it on picture but not the head. Can you help me to see which kind of snake this is? Is it dangerous? It was about 40 cm long, looked like a young one, light brown and I think a little zigzag on the back.
