I’ll believe in beauty (and leftovers)

First off, if you’ve landed here as part of Lori Anderson’s amazing bead soup blog party, welcome! Please take a look at what I made from K Hutchinson’s delicious soup fixings. Aren’t they yummy? Personally, I just fell in LOVE with the pendant K made as soon as I opened her package Obviously, the m

Yes, there is life beyond beads ….

Lately, things have been unusually quiet here in my little facet of the bead universe, but that’s hardly a reflection of real life. Earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes and floods … unless you’ve been living in a complete news vacuum you know that all kinds of freaky natural disasters have hit the eas

Do beads make you salivate, too?

Honestly, it’s a little embarrassing to admit, but I’ll go ahead and be the first to put it out there. Beautiful beads have been known to make me salivate. And feel a little flush in the cheeks. And then I just stare at them all dewey-eyed, wondering how in the heck I’ll be able to [...]

It’s SOUP TIME!!

Sure, it’s “hotter than Hades” outside (according to my 10-year-old and resident mythology experts). But it’s August after all. Should we really expect otherwise? Fortunately, that doesn’t mean it isn’t a great time to step into the Bead Kitchen (bear with me — my brain is slightly overheated and th

How I became a technological savant (but not really)

Well I’d love to be one of those regular bloggers who puts videos into their posts, but for the life of me I can’t figure out how in the heck to get this to work. Here’s a link to the video I wanted to show you. Given this heat wave, I’d give anything to be [...]

My Father’s Day

As you might expect, I was going to share a jewelry picture in this post, but my dad’s amazing dimples got the best of me in this snapshot, so I decided to include it instead. But as for the jewelry in question, there’s this quasi-tacky button sort of pin that my dad gave me a [...]

A Blog Giveaway You Won’t Want to Miss!

  Sure, this is the latest little necklace to hit my Etsy store … it sort of makes me want to watch Boogie Nights again, but maybe that’s just my shameless Mark Wahlberg devotion talking for me. “I’ve got a brand new pair of roller skates and you’ve got a brand new key …” Ahem [...]

When being a “MOM” also means becoming a “talent agent”

So forgive me if this seems obvious, but how is it that the closer we get to the kids’ summer vacation, the longer it takes to get anything done? I feel like I’m trudging through my  life like it’s a swamp — without hip boots, thank you very much. Maybe it’s the weather, or the [...]

‘Cause I can quit whenever I want to ….

Yeah, right. Who among us hasn’t gone to a bead show with the best of intentions and found themselves going leaving a wee bit wild-eyed? Folks, I am fresh from about 4 hours of solid bead shopping and wanted to put down some thoughts to share with you right away before my nerves have a chance [...]
