Have been working on this design for awhile and thought it was time to put a few on the website. I start with wrapping the glass a few times on my rod, than change colors for 2 wraps, change colors for 1 wrap, finish wraps with base color. Add a base color for bumps, and another color to create middle stripe and top of with another color to form the stripe.

Let me know if you like the design or have any ideas that can be added to the design.

Just a quick note to let you know that Dave is home from the hospital. He will be playing catch up on the beads this weekend. We will let you know as soon as your order has shipped.

I know I’ve been bad this last week or so about listing anything.  I just wanted to let everyone know that Dave is in the hospital. He has a blood clot in his leg. His leg was hurting last week  but then seemed better. He thought he hurt it somehow. Then yesterday it was hurting again and his calf was all swollen.  He kept thinking it was in the muscles. I took him to the ER yesterday afternoon and it is a clot. They are giving him drugs to dissolve it . And of course since he is really feeling ok, he is going crazy there. I’m going to take him his laptop, not sure they are on wifi, and a book.

I did want to let you know if you place an order in the next couple of days it won’t get to you as fast as usual.  Just expect a slight delay. I think they will let him out in a couple of days. That seems to be the usual.

I’ll keep you all posted.

Ready to go in.

Early this morning.

Well ,it’s been a strange busy day. We woke up to about 2 ” of snow.  Now we don’t get snow very often here and when we do it’s just about like this.  Much of it is already gone but I did get some pictures.

Then we got to meet a new friend of Steph. A guy friend. Her girlfriend has been trying to hook them up and now he is here visiting. Seem like a nice guy. So that took up a bit of time.

And then we have had the inauguration on much of the day too. It was very nice.

 Dave didn’t do any new creations today. I think he got caught up in the busy day too.

I took some pictures of the snow in front of the kennel. I will post them.I have a hard time trying to get the pictures where I want them. Haven’t figured that out yet. I wanted them at the bottom but they showed up at the top.

Oh well.

Later….

My gosh, these week just go flying by and we arent’ even doing anything all that interesting. The weekend went fine. We really relaxed a lot since it was so cold . I didn’t even put the dogs into the kennel on Sat because of the cold. I’m not sure that they have a real winterized coat since they spend afternoons and nights in the house. So I’m careful with that. We have a dog house guest. He is a beagle . Not sure if he is mixed with anything else or not. But he is kind of odd. Very different than my German Shepherds . Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. He is cute and very loving . I shouldn’t say that about him.

Dave worked on another creation . I like this set a lot .

Aren’t they beautiful? I’m a sucker for green .

Well, tomorrow we will have a new president. Interesting times. I like these mildstones in history. I guess I have enough history myself to appreciate when they happen.

Hope you are all staying warm.

Later….

It’s pretty amazing that no one was killed in that plane crash in New York. Wow, been watching  all morning.

It’s Friday again. I don’t know where this week went .

Now  it’s cold here. Woke up to 10*. I have to say it didn’t feel as cold as 40* and rain. I put the dogs out for a few hours and they are in the house now.

We will have a dog guest for about a week. I have a friend whose step-mother died earlier in the week and she is going to leave today to go to the funeral and be with her Dad. I guess he is not in very good shape. So I will have her dog here. I hope the weather warms up otherwise I will have 6 dogs in the house. Some don’t get along so they have to be put in crates plus I have no idea how they will get along with our guest. I guess we’ll have to see how it goes. It’s so much easier if I can put them in the kennel. Keep your fingers crossed that the weather gets better.

Please notice on the right side of the blog we have put some ads. I am trying to find ads that will be informative or can save you and us some money.  Dave got the Amazon one up last night and I looked it over. I didn’t know that Amazon had  a bargain area. I saw some pretty good deals. This morning it’s showing a bunch of treasure chests where they will show us bargains every hour on the hour, I guess.

I am trying to find some other ads that will save us all some money in these strange times. If you know of any,let me know.

Dave is on the torch, of course. We have been talking about trying to make some of our own colors . We would have to mix them to come up with something new. We will play with it and see. Might not work well. Keep you posted.

I should also get back on the torch. It’s been a while since I’ve made beads. It seems that there are always other things to interfere with that plan.

I think Dave will be giving me another design to show you in the next few days.

Til then.
