Happy Friday!

These 25 eggs are on their way out the door!  

Can you believe someone snatched up 25?  

Out of the 32 I had on hand?  

Wow!  I am so thankful! 

Which puts me back close to square one on making beads to fill orders.  Nicki is next.  Out of the five color choices she wanted to see, I have zero.  That's right.  Nada.  The seven loners aren't even on the list.  Oh well, this is a good problem to have and I am certainly not complaining.

I had intended to get on the torch last night.  But I was so tired.  Staying up past 11pm or midnight EVERY night for two weeks has not been good.  Almost every single one of those I was on the torch.  I have absolutely enjoyed all of the torch time I am getting after the kids go to bed.  All the time to play with new colors.  Yesterday it caught up with me.  I know if I got on the torch, I would not have been safe.

I did not get the video made as promised for this week.  Perhaps for next week.  Maybe?  We have soccer games for the kids tomorrow morning that start at 9:30am.  But they overlap and we will be done before lunch time.  After that, perhaps I will get free time on the torch.  Sunday will be busy.  Church in the morning and I've gotta be there extra early because I'm getting dunked in a big tub in front of a few hundred people.  I'm a little nervous.  I don't like being the focus of attention.  But.  It is something I need to do. 

Many of you have purchased beads from me.  I would love to see pics of what you have turned them into.  I always wonder about what becomes of my beads when they grow up.  Sometimes they come home to me, but that is rare.  I couldn't stand it with these aqua nuggets that Keirsten of Lune Designs created.  The southwestern color combination, the hammered S hook clasp and the double cross drew me in.  It wouldn't let me sleep at night.  A week passed and my ability to say no disappeared.  (Don't forget to enter her giveaway HERE for a cool pair of earrings she made!)

So.  Getting back to my point.....if you have my beads and have used them, I would LOVE to see pics.  I want to do a few blog posts in the coming weeks highlighting different jewelry designers and their shops.  Please send me an email if you are interested.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!  

If you are a Mom, I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day where your family celebrates you and everything you do for them.  May you get the best handmade cards, fresh picked flowers and relief from cooking/cleaning for the day!
