Big BOOOM

Mod Dots Group

Oh My Stars... we heard the most intense crack of thunder last night. Ron swears it was the loudest he has ever heard in his life. You Moms know what that means! Yep, the kids slept in our room, lol. On top of that, Jacob has been vomiting since 9:30 last night. The last time I looked at the clock was around 3am. Ugh. And here it is, barely 7am, and I am up at facing the day. Nice to know things will be relaxed and I can lounge a bit while waiting for Thursday.

Check out my latest Mod Dot experiments! These beads are BIG! They are an inch and half in diameter. So bigger then a half dollar coin. I never get board of Mod Dots. It got me wondering just how long I have been making them. I remember my very first set of them, I used them in THIS BRACELET. I liked those so much, I made them into sprees for THIS BRACELET. And then I started experimenting with color for THIS BRACELET. Those were from the Fall of 2006... that is almost three years!! Oh oh... remember Rustic Dotism? Or how about Artist's Drop Cloth? Not to mention all the times they have shown up as Bead Box Beads.

*sigh* I love my Mod Dots.

Have to say, I love the mod dots too! They look good in all the shapes and colors you did them in! We have some really pouring rain here today, but no thunder thank goodness. It's not the kids that freak out so much as my cats do! Try sleeping with a bed full of cats! ha ha Hope the little one is feeling better soon!

These are awesome! Yes, when are they for sale?.... And, if I may ask, do you make you own headpins to get such a large flat bead at the bottom? Thanks!
