Walkin' on Sunshine...

Hollow bubbles and rings of pretty colors.

Watch my Etsy shop for these fun necklaces and more.

We had some much needed sunshine today and what a mood enhancer! I cleaned the entire house and got all the laundry done and my bookkeeper was here to help me finish up the paperwork to file my state taxes. So I'm going to clean the carpet tomorrow and I will have finished everything on my to-do list for the week. Funny how all it takes is a little sunshine to give you that energy boost to get you through your day. Please Lord, I could really use some sunshine tomorrow too...

 



Will she get it all done?

Hollow focal beads.

Today is a computer day. Posted a couple things in my Etsy shop and now I have to finish closing the year and getting ready for tax time. There just aren't enough hours in a day to get everything done.

I'm under pressure to put together a website and Facebook page for Norm's Place. I can't tell you how many people have asked about that. I still have to get some decent photos of the place. I promise to work on that this weekend. We should be packed. Karaoke again Sat. and Sun. Now if I can just remember to bring my camera....



Purple....

I love all the different shades of purple and violet lampwork glass. The colors are stunning but I don't use them very often because I just can't seem to get the photos of the beads to look as yummy as they are in real life. The photos here are okay but they really don't do justice to the actual beads. Taking photos in natural light would probably be wiser but it's such a dreary dark day it would be impossible to get a decent shot. (In fact the lights are flickering as I write this. We may lose power anytime.) I'll just add them to my Etsy store and hope for the best.

What are your plans for the weekend? I need to do some cleaning and try to come up with a few Valentine decorating ideas for Norm's Place. The bar is looking a little bare since we took down all the Christmas decorations. 



Winter continues......

 Small "Loosie Goosie" sets in my Etsy store.

Baby, it's COLD outside! I rushed around this morning getting all my errands done for Norm's Place as soon as I could and then beat feet to get back home before the snow flies. We are suppose to get some noticable accumulation over the next couple days. So I guess I'll hunker down, put some more wood on the fire and go make some more beads....

We had a packed house at Norm's Place on New Years Eve and I took my camera but didn't realize I had a dead battery so I only got a couple shots. Dang! Probably our busiest night ever and I didn't get a photo of all the people! Missed that photo opportunity again!

We have had cold temperatures here but plenty of sun for the last few days. I love it but did you ever notice when the sun shines brightly in the wintertime it highlights all the cobwebs and dust bunnys in your house? Dirty windows and undusted furniture. I think I need to get started on the spring cleaning early.....

 

New Years Eve at Norm's Place before the crowd arrives.

Yes, I do plan on sleeping all day. Got a problem with that!
