Its June - Where's your year gone?
So this is what I made yesterday...The top and bottom strands are done on 1/8" mandrels so that plenty of fuzzy yarn and beadalon will fit through them..the middle strand are the 'normal' beads, I thought they'd be cute as the dangles...I was trying out new shapes, new color combos, etc...I've found that I like layering a lot of colors on beads now a days, so that its more interesting...are you collecting fuzzy yarns to make your own bracelets?...I've got a nice stash thanks to Mandy and Lydia as well as a few trips to Hobby Lobby on my own...heh...
Wasn't it just Christmas a few weeks ago? gee...this year is flying by...I was just in Italy - and now the second trip is already here (not doing this one, but I wanted to)...B&B is right around the corner, THAT will be a fun and interesting time...I'm lookin' forward to it, and meeting lots of groovy folks...
I'm trying something 'new' - not turning the tv on until 5:00pm...I used to do that ages ago, then I started watching tv during the day and found I wasn't very productive...SO, yesterday was my 'return to the past' and i made 18 beads and another garden stake...much better...I thought I could keep the tv on as background noise, but alas I can't...HOWEVER, I've finally ordered TiVo (yes, I've been living in the dark ages, according to my friends who've wondered how I could be living in 'high-tech' Austin and not have this wonder gadget...). Its arriving Friday morning and I should be able to grab any Jewelry/Knitting/Crafting shows that I want, and watch them in the evening or weekends when only Paid Programming or Charles Bronson marathons are on...so I can get caught up when I want to...very sweet...will keep you up to date on if this is a good idea for me or not...

I love your site....you made me chuckle with the comments about Charles Bronson marathons. I used to love watching his movies.
