Home Stretch


60 more rows.....
3,000 more beads.....
6 more inches.....
?? more hours?

Well, almost there. Beading-wise, that is. I'm very excited that I'm almost done with the bead-weaving, although I still have to sew the piece onto the leather strap & then make the buckle.

I got a little beaded-out & didn't touch it for a week. But the deadline's next Tuesday, so I had to get cracking. So far, I've done 90 rows (4,500 beads) in two days. My index finger's a little sore right now....


I'm especially happy with the burro. Whadda cutie!

In Memory


It's been one year since my dog, Wini, passed away. I don't think I can put into appropriate words how much she meant to me. I was not the perfect parent, but she was always there for me and brought so much joy to everyone she met.

Because of the desperate situation in the Gulf Coast, I've made a small contribution to the Humane Society's Disaster Relief Fund. If you haven't already given, please try to spare a few dollars to a charity that is assisting the people and animals in that area.
