The good old summertime…

It’s been a very hot summer in Texas, and we’ve been very busy settling back into our home. We still have a long way to go, but I have neglected my blog so long, I decided this update needed to happen NOW! Things never seem to go as planned, so sometimes I just have to readjust priorities.

I have several items from Artbeads.com to review. The first is a diamond shaped Murano glass pendant. It’s so pretty and cheerful, I can imagine it with a great little sundress! It is full of little flowers, so I decided not to compete with them. I made a simple bail of several kinds and colors of seed beads. I think it will be lovely and feminine on a hand-dyed silk ribbon, either black or yellow, or BOTH! It would also look great on a thick round leather cord. This pendant will move right on in to fall, and will really pop with a black sweater!

Well, there we have the first item of my review. I’m late, but don’t give up on me yet! I have a couple of more items to show off! I’ll be back…

Disclosure: As a participant in the blogging program, I very much enjoyed reviewing this item from Artbeads.com. It was sent free of charge to me. I have been honest in my personal opinion of the product, and I am not being compensated for my endorsement as it pertains to the component reviewed.

There’s no place like home…

I feel like Dorothy, but no ruby slippers. Key Largo may be paradise for some, but I am happy to report “Honey, I’m Home!!”. After a three day trek with my Best Friend, Tessa, Jack the angel-dog, Tessa’s new puppy-Jemima, four finches, and a ton of beads, I am happily home at last, at least for a little while! Texas and our 4.5 green acres truly are my favorite place. My roses and irises are blooming, never-mind the waist high weeds! The damp soil feels good in my hands, even with the sticker in my thumb. :o)
