Dance around the MayPole
Oooweee...its rainy and 53 here today..that's a winter day for us, what's the deal? Its rained the past 6 weekends in a row. All of last weekends rained-out festivities were rescheduled for this weekened...heh...But you know what that means...indoors is where I'll be...I played hookie from making beads the past 2 days, so I have to make up for it by working this weekend..and with the weather like this, I have no desire to go out at all...
I've got all sorts of new glass coming in from all over...yesterday I played with some new 'lead' glass - yes - it has lead in it and no - i'm not going to grow a third ear from using it...There are some colors in this palette that I'm really excited about..a tourmaline that is really green tourmaline...very pretty! loads of cool greens and pale gray blues....I'm thinking of making hollows or hearts with them. I only have a little of each color, its a sampler pack, so I don't want to get too carried away - my 'hoarding' nature won't let me use up everything I have...must...keep...some...reserves...
More Gaffer glass (the compatible gold stringer glass), more silver foil and leaf, some new Corina tools to make new shaped beads, and a new kiln...the delivery people just keep bringing the boxes like we're Santa's workshop here...ding dong..."I'll get it!"...whee, more bubble wrap and peanuts to pile through to get to the good stuff...
email, comment, whatever ya wanna do...i'm here all day hanging out, melting and having fun...

You sound like me! My kids are so used to when they see the UPS guy or the FedEx guy coming down the street that they just hang out right by the driveway and wait. LOL
My whole mood changes when I get getting new toys! I couldn't think of anything else the last time I was waiting on a CBS! Isn't it funny how the simple things in life make us so darn happy?

Hey Donna,
I got a package from Val Cox today...with my bundle of Gaffer cane. Can't wait to play with it. Hope the Bead Fairy is good to you.
Tara :)

Hi Donna - missed you at the bead show in SA. It was a lot bigger this year than last year. There seemed to be more people from out of state this time that last. - Jana
