Yay!! I have a bead featured in a project in Bead and Button Magazine this month!! Go check it out!!!

We are now officially apartment dwellers!!!! No more yard work, mowing etc.! YAYYYY!!!!! The only bummer is I won't have an "official" studio.......though I can still get some simple work done, beads and metalwork, just not "heavy duty stuff".

Well, it's official, we're moving again!!!!! Uuugghhh!!!!!!! This will be very interesting, I was just starting to like the way my studio's set up.

Still working in the studio, Very limited though, it's has been WAY to hot, especially with no A/C in the Garage, trying to find alternatives??????

Hope everybody who did the Bead and Button Show had a wonderful and profitable time!!!!! :-))

Still working on the studio......... I keep finding better places for ALL the tools and REARRANGING, I think I'm out of control!!!!!!

I know it's been forever, My studio is 98% complete!!!! Work will now commence, pictures of studio soon to follow...............

Going outside to brave the cold garage to try to finish setting up the studio!!!! Just bought a new space heater, hope the piddley amount of electricity out there can support it!!!!!

My Studio is finally starting to take shape!!!! The only Major thing now is ELECTRICITY!!!!

Holy CRAP!!!!! Is anyone paying attention to the SILVER prices!!!! $30.98!?!?!?!?!?!? Time to do the curly shuffle......Wooo, wooo, wooo woo....

Packing and heading up to the Great White North later tonight!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!!!

The ONE good thing about moving is that you find a lot of stuff you've spent ENDLESS hours trying to find!!!! Now that we're all moved, it's time to find a place for all those things I've found, without losing them again!!!!!
