Creative Thursdays



Jennifer Geldard blogged today about Creative Thursdays. I like the idea so much I'm going to attempt to make it a regular thing. Check out Jennifers blog her paintings are very cool!

I've been working on beads for a piece for a local fine arts show and I am really thrilled with the colour combination above. It's Lauscha milky way and buckthorn with some silver and opaque turquoise. It's rare for me to get hung up in colour palette's but I have been making these for days. I see them with some chunky silver links and maybe an eclectic piece, different shaped links with random spaced beads.

Tiny bit of snow

We had a small amount of snow this weekend, it snowed all day yesterday but since it was +2 it didn't stick (insert sad face). I was hoping we'd get a couple inches but as of this morning there is only 1/4 inch on the ground.


The nice thing about all the rain and horrid weather we've been having is I've been bead making a lot. I have some new inventory for the Vancouver Island Bead show this coming weekend.

Beep is working towards the cat Olympics



Beep our recent arrival seems to be determined to get into the cat Olympics, or drive me crazy. He's started with a bobsled track down the stairs using the throw rug as a sled, the hard wood gives him a greta sliding surface before lift off happens down the stairs.

Hard to get mad at him with a face that cute!

I'll be attending the Vancouver Island Bead show on March 1st & 2nd at the Saanichton Fairgrounds. I'll have lots of new beads and finished jewelry. Come by and say HI and see all the wonderful vendors they have booked for the show.
