Do you ever get to that point where you just keep moving cause you know the minute you stop that you'll just crash? That is the point that I am at. I am kinda going on fumes... but I going cause I will crash hard when I do stop. What does that mean for you all... another bit of eye candy!



Yesterday after I made the "Old School Recess" bracelet, I had some twistie mini disc beads to play with. And I decided they would be perfect in a new version of the "At The Playground" piece. This style was actaully a lot easier to make then the other one. I didn't need to torch the wire so it went a lot smoother. I like it a lot. I wore it last night while I was cooking dinner and kept catching my reflection in the glass of the microwave over the stove... it was so sparkly. And I love the twistie wire with the twistie beads, they are both very playful!

Lauren actually helped me a lot with these beads. On Monday when she came home from school, I was still wanting to play with glass, so I set her up next to me in the studio with some safety glasses. I told her we would make twisties and she picked the colors to twist together. She loved it. Did I mention these are MINIs. Here is a comparison for you. The Minis are dime size and the big ones are closer to quarter size. The are easy to make, the dozen I made took about 30 mins to make.

So after dinner last night Lauren got really fussy and fell asleep around 7:30, by 9:30 she was up again with a high fever and vomiting... she didn't stop to almost midnight. She and I ended up having a slumber party in the living room to let Daddy get some sleep. I didn't sleep much though and was up by 5:30 this morning.

One bonus is that we woke up to a fresh 6 inch blanket of SNOW!! FINALLY!! This has been the least snowiest winter in Rochester history. Something about El Nino... I don't know... but it is nice to finally have it and we are supposed to get another 6-10 inches throughout the day. Since Lauren is home sick from school and we are huddled inside from the weather... I probably won't get to finish that Ebay set of beads. But we will see, if I get a good nap this afternoon (really I swear I am going to take one this time) then I may sneak out after dinner.

Stay tuned to see what happens next around here...
