Bead Results from my Husbandless Kidless Weekend

I made SIXTY beads last Sunday. I had planned on making more. WAY MORE. But I made the mistake of going back to bed at 7:30am after getting up to feed the cats. The clock quickly fast-forwarded to 10:15am before I pulled myself out of bed. I never get to sleep in when the kids are home and when they are gone, I have a hard time staying in bed because my body is just used to getting up. An unexpected luxury, although it did cut into torch time.

I got rid of paperwork items on my To Do list, cleaned up the kitchen and then fired up the torch. I spent close to 45 minutes cleaning and marrying rods before I finally got down to business. All said and done, I got a total of SEVEN HOURS on the torch! Woo hoo!

the desert sun ice cubes are fantastic! great work

I bet it was pretty nice to sleep in even if you did get less done, I usually find I just have too much I want to do and I wake up way earlier than I need or want too!

Beautiful beads as always
