Sunday, beadmaking day...
It feels like its 4:00pm and its only just after 11:00am...probably cause I've been awake since 4:00AM waiting for the Tour at 6:30...what a great day, although yesterday was probably more exciting, cause I think today they were all just tuckered out...still in all, good job to George for winning his first stage of a Tour in the 10 years he's been riding them...wow...
All the bracelets are now spoken for, thank thee...Will have more beads soon, the kiln is ramping up now as I speak...
Some of ya'll have asked how I'm doing with Harry...well, I'm on a chapter titled "Half Blood Prince", but I haven't learned the identity yet (I wouldn't spoil it for you either, that would be mean)...I'm enjoying the book, the kids still seem young to me, even tho they are 6 years now...I like the joke shop the Twins are running (no surprise there)...But for today, beads it is..the book stays in the front room where the dog can guard it...
Its a rainy day here, which is perfect for staying inside..course, sunny hot days I stay inside too...then why don't I have more beads more often? good question!
I do have a question for ya'll - its now July - are the Fall colors coming into fashion now? are ya'll looking for fall related stuff..my buddy Lori made some cool Halloween beads and I was wondering if that's what's 'out there' now...? She wasn't sure, neither of us poke around eBay much, so lemme know if ya'll still want Summer colors or if you've moved on (in your heads anyway) and are looking to Fall stuff...I know folks make Christmas beads in September, but I can understand why that is, getting geared up for the holiday...I'm here to suit you, of course...and if you are sick of bright colors by now, well, you just lemme know...You know how much I enjoy working in the muted tones..(just look at the bracelets from yesterday!)...
Alrighty, gotta finish vacuuming (6 cats and 1 dog does take a toll) and the kiln gives me some time to do that before its ready for the first bead...rock on and go read HP6 if you haven't already finished it by now...ha!

Well, I'm certainly ready for fall weather! I hate it when it's hot. I love the fall colors, but I have to admit, I really like the brights anytime of year. Especially the hot pinks, oranges and yellow combinations I see right now. Since I have trouble with the pinks in my own beadmaking, I really admire people who can get that colors to pop! I have fabric to make a pair of pants that have a great paisley print on them in the colors mentioned above - looks very retro 60's to me. I would love to buy a set of beads for a bracelet and earrings in those colors. In the meantime, I'll keep playing with those colors myself when I'm at the torch. Have a great Sunday! Gotta get my chores done so I can start reading about Harry!!

Hi Donna,
Betsy Ross is darling! How old is she? Regarding your bead color question...I'm still kicking myself for not checking your website in time to get one of the beautiful bright bead strands of the other day. I vote for more brights before getting into the muted colors.
cheers, Beata
