Chloe was home yesterday, making sure that her 102.5 fever from the weekend was seriously gone. She was thrilled to be my shipping helper. Can you tell she was excited? She couldn't help but run to the mailbox.
She very carefully placed one package in the mailbox at a time.
I love the mouth opened in concentration as she is trying to get the package into the mailbox.
I also love the tip toes to get everything pushed inside the mailbox.
Aaaaaand done.
Last night I made a few more eggs and some smaller swirly eggs (below) using new frit that Kerry sent me. At BeadFest, she said she had a bunch of frit that she doesn't use and would send to me.
Oh. My. Stars.
She sent me a shoebox FILLED with jars of frit. I couldn't even sit and look at it when it arrived because I had to make a mad dash for the dentist with both kids. When I sat down at the torch last night, I went through all the jars and decided on two to test out. These look like little drops of honey or sunshine to me.
Here are the blueberries and cream eggs. There is a bit of lavenderish purple in this blue and I LOVE it.
Lastly is a larger, funky hollow I made over the weekend. I love that shimmery purples come out of the amber lines on this clear hollow. Thinking I will make this into a pendant to hang simply from a ball chain, but I'm still mulling it over. I really like the shape of this bead.

Love those beads.Glad you had a wonderful helper.
Chloe is such a sweet little helper. Love that! But what's up with the fever? Poor dear.
I really really like that last bead. I mean they are all really nice but that one is fab. I think just a simple pendant is perfect for it. Show it off!
Oh gosh, these are GORGEOUS! I love the blueberry beads. Chloe is adorable. And what is it with the open mouth thing??? I do the same thing myself.
What a gorgeous little helper you have!
Ohhh those metallic finish eggs are to die for and the one with shades of ochre, cream and purple is rather delish too! Nice to see you making some beads in addition to the eggs too - as much as I love the eggs it's nice to see some other beads and pretty ones at that!

Chloe (although my more challenging and strong willed child) is really the best helper. She will volunteer without being asked. Even for the dirty jobs, like cleaning the cat boxes or after the dogs in the backyard. It is obvious by the smile plastered on her face when she helps that she derives a great amount of satisfaction in knowing she made someone else's job easier. I love that about her.
Thanks for the comments on the beads, too. I am having so much more fun back on the torch this week!!!
