Spring fever...catch it!
Spring is around the corner here...our redbud is getting ready to burst, the roses are flowering and we have birds on their way north stopping in the backyard for some snacks...Brian worked in the backyard putting in plants and digging out tree roots...I'm glad he enjoys that...! But pretty soon it'll be too hot and humid to do much axe swinging, so he's getting the big stuff done now, and then I take over and plant flowers in March...some of my petunias are flowering now, they handled the colder temps just fine...Oh and the blackberry bushes are sending up shoots and volunteers, so I hope we have some nice vines coming in over the summer...i don't expect fruit, I just want the things to grow grow grow
So, did you manage the Oscars last night? I missed the red carpet and gown parade, but the show was alright...kinda predictable and watching the Johnny Carson montage made you appreciate how good he was...You know that Million Dollar Baby wasn't my fave movie, but I'm fine with it winning...I watched the Independent Movie Awards on Saturday and Sideways swept those, so I'm cool with it all...that's a better show anyway, folks are more relaxed and laid back...besides, John Waters is there - how can you go wrong?
So, on the agenda today are making beads, both old and new...and taking care of some much-needed business...I also have to get my taxes organized so I can turn them in to my accountant, so I plan on doing that later this week...shouldn't be TOO bad, but I always have a bad couple of days putting it all together...so bear with me on that...I've put it off for two months, I don't have any time left!
I want to say 'thanks' to ya'll who keep coming to read me and check out the site..I know I've been lax in updating my Italy pics and getting beads shipped (they should all be in transit by now, some of ya'll have received yours) and I know there are LOTS of other beadmakers out there, so thanks for checking in and seeing what's going on here...I try to make it fun and worthwhile, even if I don't have beads every day....and maybe I'll see what kind of *different* bees I can come up with for ya'll who are asking for spring bees...(we saw a black and white bee yesterday, that was really cool!)

Please, please, please send me some sunshine. We are in our second snow storm in 2 weeks and probably another one this coming weekend. Loved your new set of beads but AGAIN was not quick enough! Argh. Your bud in West Virginia, Tracey

Donna - I just received the gaffer heart I purchased in the mail today. I wanted to let you know it is absolutely gorgeous! As I was checking out your site, I'm so glad that you said your beads were not great when you first started...I'm taking my first class on Sunday! Thanks for being an inspiration!
