Sweet Computer Gods...
Gah! I just ran across this at 6:30 and the deadline to join is TODAY, but if you're into knitting, or are enjoying the One Skein book (its where the bowls and clutch patterns come from), you might find joining the Secret Pal Exchange...There is a button in the left column on my site now...I've joined, but I have to go 'incognito' so my secret person doesn't know who I am...this'll be sweet...!
If you like caterpillars and strange looking worms, check this very cool site out - Bugman
Things are great with the computer today...! It probably knows its going back to the factory and is trying to behave so it wont have to be scrapped in the dung heap of computer parts...too late! You're going back, buddy...now sit up straight and behave...
I've been able to draw a name for the April Freebie - Mary Lou E...! And because I had SO MANY votes for April, I've been thinking that I should draw more names for some other freebie beads, so that's what I'm gonna do...I won't be giving away icicles to everyone, but I'll be announcing the winners here as I draw them...I do THANK YOU for all the votes for this month and hope you like the May beads as much...
I got up early and mulched all the plants we put in the ground yesterday, and gave them all a good watering...I am just completely filthy from head to toe, literally...dirt in my hair, on my legs, under my fingernails...I must go get a shower in a few minutes...and then I'm starting some new beads...And just to clarify cause some of ya'll were wondering - my inquiry to the eBay thing was only cause I was surprised to hear the number of auctions was half as much as last year (which didn't sound right at all, but then I don't follow eBay so I put word out to hear what ya'll thought), not cause I was poking around about whether or not I should post auctions of my own...I'll keep selling mostly thru my site and occasionally on eBay (after someone told me they didn't know I was still making beads cause they never saw me on eBay, I figured I probably should have a small presence out there from time to time- and this latest auction has had over 600 views, and I'm happy about that)...I know ya'll prefer to buy directly from me and I prefer to sell that way...as long as ya'll keep buying from me, I'll keep posting here...
Ok, time to run some hot water and scrubba scrubba...

Neat felted bags! Are we going to see any elegant cocoa and peachy pink with gold accent beads, particularly lentils, anytime soon? Jo

thanks Kimberly...I just knitted the piece from the pattern in the book, then washed it...because its 100% wool, it felts...don't do that with a sweater you like, or it'll fit your dog afterward...
Jo, did you have something specfic in mind? ha...sounds like you know what you want and are waiting for it to arrive...i'm working in neutrals today, but i'll see what I can do...
