I dunno what to say today...
I've been sitting here with the blog window staring me in the face, and I don't seem to have anything exciting to share with you today...I did make beads, but they were some remakes I needed to get done, and I did play with some new stuff, but there's not much of it, so I think I'll keep it until I refine it...it was 2:00am before I went to bed (am I back in my old time habit? I hope so!), so I got up late this morning and have just finished all my work...today is gonna be 'one of those days' where at 4:00pm it's gonna feel like noon and I'll wonder where the day has gone...
But - all is not lost...the kiln is warming up and its been raining outside, so its great beadmaking weather...I think I'm ready to start a new color scheme or start pulling some new stringer for some new direction I'll head off in...I was watching QVC last night and they said that Pink and Orange were 'must haves' for Fall...and of course I just worked in those colors...but they are mentioning 'fall' already...Course, we have 'back to school' advertising on our tv right now, kids go back to school in a month...which I think is ludricrous...I would never go back to school before Labor Day (well, until I moved to Texas, anyway) and it still seems weird to me that kids are in school in August 15...there is some legislature trying to change that to after Labor Day, but since I don't have kids, I don't know why I should really care...I guess I am just regressing to my growing up days when I used Labor Day as a 'shutting down of Summer' time...Seeing crayons and notbook paper in Target in July just seems weird to me...but I do love school supplies, I'll buy a new box of crayons every year if I could...my house would be covered in colorful wax sticks...and glue..and pink pearl erasers...remember those? i'd always write on them with my blue pen...and I'd never use one up, I'd end up breaking it into chunks before the year was over...that weird brown glue never did stick anything together, tho, did it???

Donna, that Passion Vine Flower is gorgeous! I bet it looks breathtaking when the whole vine is in bloom. Don't know much about that butterfly species, but I bet its beautiful, as all butterflies are! Isn't it great to stay up late and play and sleep in the next day? I love it, but unfortunately, can only do it on the weekends. Take care - can't wait to see what the Bead Fairy leaves for you in the morning - hopefully lots of pinks and oranges!
