Decorating for spring......

New bead sets in my Etsy shop.

Rafflesia VI

John Douglas

It's March already. Time for some spring decorating. Just bought the above print from art.com.  It's by John Douglas and I love the colors! It will be mounted on a wood panel and on display at the bar, along with some other spring decorations, for a bit before it comes home to my house. I have a couple large shelves above the backbar at Norm's that I decorate for the seasons. It's fun and gives people something to look at. So that's what I'll be doing today. Gotta get some shamrocks in there for St. Paddy's Day too.

Small bead sets....

Small bead sets just added to my Etsy shop!



Happy Valentine's Day!

Small bead set available in my Etsy shop.

I have never cooked lobster before.

My husband suggested that maybe we deserve a special treat for Valentine's Day, so he proceeded to order a couple of lobsters for us from our local supermarket and asked me to pick them up today. 

 I said "no problem".

 After making my way to the supermarket meat department, I motioned to the butcher on duty to tell him I was there to pick up my husbands order. He disappeared through the double revolving doors into the cooler and returned seconds later with a large clear plastic bag containing two "whole" lobsters. Hmmm.....not what I was expecting... 

Now just a few moments ago when I got home from the grocery store my husband, standing at the door when I started unloading the groceries, asked me if I had remembered the lobsters and so I held up the bag to show him.  Then asked me if they were alive. I looked down at the bag I was holding and realized they WERE ALIVE!!!! I shrieked and nearly dropped the bag. I don't know what I was thinking.

I will just have to resume my lobster cooking research on youtube.....

.....and the lobsters will have to sleep out in the shed tonight because I can't bear to look at them in the fridge.



No more snow please!

"Eye Heart You" pendant new in my Etsy shop!

Cabin fever is rampant in my house this week. I'm going to get out of the house tomorrow if I have to use snowshoes!



HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

May your troubles be less

 and your blessings be more

 and nothing but happiness

 come through your door.

Christmas Shopping

"Clarksville Hearts" necklace in my Etsy shop.

I started my Christmas shopping today. I'm usually done by this time. Trouble is it's so hard to choose the perfect gifts. There is just too much to choose from. I go to the toy department and I just circle. Then I circle some more. It really shouldn't be this difficult although I really like the toy department It inspires my creativity. All those bright happy colors. Guess I'm just a kid at heart...... easily distracted.



Big Beads

This bead has been made into a pendant that hangs from a ball strand chain. Find it in my Etsy shop.

Playing around with dots. Stacking and manipulating into sweet little hearts.

Birthday Weekend

New in my Etsy shop!

 I can't believe summer is almost over. Just when the weather finally starts to improve. We've had some beautiful afternoons though mornings are always overcast and cool.

The Hubs birthday is Sunday so I think I'll start thinking about a nice day for him. Wish he would take the day off but I don't think that is going to happen. Meanwhile I need to wash vehicles and the old RV today. I plan on enjoying the sun while it's here. What exciting things do you have planned for this late summer weekend?



"Wicked"

We're off to see "Wicked" tonight in Seattle. I can't wait. We will be wading through rush hour traffic to make our way there. Should be interesting.....

The "Hippkitty singles" theme I started in my Etsy store is becoming quite popular. So I just added some lapis blue beads. Do you blue? I do too!
