Today I walked with the second graders (in the rain of course) over to the art museum. We had a fine time. We got to see lots of photos from the Amazon rain forest which inspired the kids to create their own animals. My youngest made an Arctic Rainbow Mustache Monkey which of course I thought was too cute!

I’m making another necklace…

Just listed some new boro tube shaped beads in my store. I broke out the dichro and had lots of sparkly fun! Check it out if you have a minute. I’m not sure when my next update will be so keep checking right here for the latest update or watch your email to stay in the know!

Remember this post? I finished the necklace and sold it in the Mart and never mentioned it over here. So I thought I’d kick of my Year of Jewelry 2010 (in March…yikes!) with it.

This year my youngest made a Maui display. She made a paper-mache model of the island and she researched lots of cool facts about Maui and made drawings for all of her information. She has Maui on her mind since we are heading on a fun family trip pretty soon…

My oldest did her project fair display on how images change depending on how they are saved on your computer. Just ask her about JPEG, PING, or GIF files and she has the scoop. She is apparently turning into a little web mistress! Woohoo!

Overall it was another successful project fair!

What do you think? I’ve added a new column for links to my new gallery… Pretty slick huh?!

So just a heads up that I plan to have a few set this Tuesday, but I’m going to become a bit more irregular with my store updates. Of course I’ll send out an email when I do have an update so make sure that you are on my mailing list! And never fear I’m always available for orders. Oh and don’t think I’m going away, cause I’m not! I’m just making my schedule a little more flexible to save the sanity of me and my family. Okay, back to mucking with my website. Happy Friday!

Okay… I did it… I added ALL the many bead photos to my gallery. Mostly it was a little challenge to see if I could figure out how to do it… and I did! Yeah!
