Puppy luv

Here's a rare shot of Puppy and Desiree snuggling where they are both awake. Usually at least one of them is snoozing when I try to take a picture of their combined cuteness.

Beads, beads, and more beads:

These are more beads made with Olympia rain and Nyx glass from Double Helix. The middle bead has dots of Nyx, covered with clear, and the Nyx looks like abalone shell. Very cool effect. I need more of this glass. This is definitely one of those "must make beads to sell so I can buy more glass to make beads to sell so I can buy more glass to make beads to sell so I can buy more glass..." kinds of situations. *Sigh.*



Shield your eyes if you don't like cute. Here it comes...







Seriously, how cute is this? Well, it's even cuter in person. Back to school time is right around the corner...

1st post...a test of sorts

Ok, I have a few minutes before I play taximom again today so I think this is as good a time as any to start my new blog. What to talk about...

Yesterday Desiree came home from school looking like a rOcKsTAr! She's in cosmetology college so I have come to expect a little drama now and again. We went out for a sushi lunch because glamor like this should not be wasted. :)

I have a pile of beads here that need to be photographed. I've tried about three times to get good photos of some of them and they just refuse to sit still or something because all I get is a blur. Hmmm...maybe I should lay off the coffee while I'm taking pictures.

I did manage to get a couple clean shots. I really love this bead and was so happy that the photo really captured the colors so accurately. We were having an overcast kind of day yesterday and that is just perfect for taking pictures.

Ok, well I'd better get moving. Lots to do. Places to go, beads to make. You know the drill...
