Otter!

I was so excited to get to see the otter today! Whit was lucky enough to get this photo of him. I guess he comes through the yard daily according to the neighbors....... he likes to take a dip in our pond!

Today on my way home from the store I also saw a mom and dad coyote with the cutest little pup! I would of loved to have taken it home but I am afraid Towanda would of killed me, not to mention Whit!

Today was a good bead making day as well....... my hand is really doing well!

Hearts

Here is just a sampling of some of the hearts I will be taking to Bead and Button. It is a bit tricky to get the silver rivet through the heart but I feel it adds a lot to the look of it once the silver ring and ribbon are attached to it. So I guess it is worth the trouble!

Kryptonites!

Here are just a few of my silver cored kryptonite beads for Bead and Button. I have a BUNCH more that still need to be cored. Also you can see a couple pair of my feather earrings. I have been getting quite a few orders for these so I will see if I can get some more done for the show!

OK back to work............

Remember

Remember them.

Beautiful Day!

Today was just beautiful! I started out working in my studio, kept looking outside at the nice sunny day, worked a bit more, looked outside again....... well that was it. My Vespa was calling me to go for a ride. I cruised over to the Moore's where we all sat out in the sun for a couple of hours, cruised back home where Whit cooked a great dinner for us and my Dad and Sally (who I hadn't seen in a month since I was in Germany and they just arrived home from Michigan today) and then topped it off tonight with this awesome sunset!

If it is this nice again tomorrow I may just have to do a repeat! I do hope it rains (well maybe on Monday) so I can make some more beads for Bead and Button....... it is too hard to be in the studio on these gorgeous days!!!!

For Jake!

Came in to take a quick break from my studio and I found Towanda sound asleep with one of the mice that Whit bought from Jake! Jake was selling these mice to raise money for Second Chance Ranch where he and his father volunteer every weekend to help the homeless kitties!


OK now back to work for me...... I want to play some more with those new colors!

New Colors

Been making beads for the Bead and Button show and received 2 boxes of glass from Double Helix, so of course I had to play with some of them! Now if only I could remember which color was which.

Well we are off to see Harrison Ford tonight ( I will tell him hello for you LOIS )........ and then more beads!
Have a great night!
