I just added a few new sets to my store. I’m still just having lots of fun playing with colors. I really love the set with the white flowers and it sort of matches a focal that I listed over on ebay. Actually I have one, two, and three auctions over on ebay this week… I just felt like mixing it up a bit. Anyhoo… I’m off to get one of my girlies and then some errands, enjoy your afternoon!

Karate haiku

You must earn your belt.

Apparently Webkinz does occassionally do something educational! They had some sort of haiku contest and now my oldest can’t stop writing them… I’ll spare you her itchy foot haiku.

I’ll be back tomorrow with a few new goodies so check back if you can!

This was a request and I have to say that I really like how it turned out. I just love bright beads! They are just so cheery. I need to get organized and try to have some more fun jewelry in my store in the next few weeks… Anyway, hope you are having a great Sunday!!

It was the last day of ocean week today and so I went to the all-school picnic with my girlies. Happily the rain took a break and we even saw a little sunshine. Here is my youngest playing with a friend in her stylish boots.

Lori was kind enough to share this photo with me… Isn’t it a beautiful bracelet? I love the clasp. She said the stones are lemon chyrsoprase and kyanite. I’m gonna need to think what boro colors are in those beads and make some more.

New beads have just been added to my store, take a peek if you have a minute. I’m still stuck on brights… they really make my day… although I have to say it is hard to let them go, I love having such a cheery pile of beads on my desk!

This is just a little crazy… I want Spring!

Later…

Okay… maybe I just want the snowman diet…

Yesterday I went on a great hike at Mt. Pisgah with some friends. The view at the top was beautiful! It was also fun exersize since we got to chat as we walked… always a good combination.

Then this morning we all got a treat of snow in April! Bummer! Oh well… I plan to sit next to my kiln in the shop for part of today so at least I’ll be warm there!

Oops… I forgot to add my comments yesterday when I posted this bracelet… Of course I love the colors in this bracelet, I think I’m going through a bit of a bright phase…   The other interesting thing about this bracelet is I used my new Magical Crimping pliers. I was skeptical about these pliers, but I have to say that I like them. The crimp holds quite well and other than getting the roundness of the crimp “just so” they worked great! Okay, gotta run again, DH is adding Ram to my computer to help with video editing… who knew I only had 512! Yikes… watch out, I might be even more outa control with a speedier computer. Ha!

If you are not too busy with your taxes… come check out the beads that I just listed in my store.

I keep forgetting to mention that I have signed up for an enamels class that goes until 9:30 (or later… ) on Monday nights and it is proving difficult to be organized on Tuesday morning after going nonstop on Monday… so I might have a few less offerings in the next week or so until my class is done. I love the teacher and I am so happy that I have taken the class… what will I do with enamels? Who knows, but it is great to be able to try some new stuff! Anyway, off to grab my youngest from school… enjoy your Tuesday!!

PS- Yes… I goofed in my email, obviously it should have read April 15th instead of April 8th… I told ya’ that I was tired.
