And an upgrade for Wordpress. Wheeeee!

Not a whole lot has happened since my last blog post, but I did start my clearance sale at the Etsy store, and have a couple of sets listed on the Bay again (yes, I know, I rant and rave, but I needed a boost! ).  The kids have finished Awana for the year, and I’m not sure they’ll be going back next year. Colby has a few clubs he likes to go to after school, and Lili has cheerleading in Rochester, and with homework, it’s a mess trying to get up to town in time on Wednesdays.   (As I sit here and get prompted by Vista that my activation key doesn’t work, and try typing it in AGAIN) I upgraded my laptop, too! New big shiny 320GB hard drive and 2GB of memory- now I can Photoshop AND check mail at the same time, yippee! (yay, retyping the key worked- whew!)

We’ve been fishing, I finally finished spinning that laceweight Maerchengarten dyed top from Cloudlover69 on Etsy:

That’s 1300 yards there. Holy cow, says I!  I still need to take a class!

The kids have had birthdays, I have not

Let’s see, what other news have I? Not much!  Bead pictures?  Ahhh… How about we do this instead?  A little handy EtsyMini and then links to the new eBay sets

Next up, two sets on eBay. I spent forever pulling murrini canes, but it was SO much fun, I think I’ll keep doing it, and I’m saving up for some graphite optical molds Flowers! (You can click the pictures to go to the auctions )

Calaveras Del Jardin (the backs are SOOOO cool!)

and an Aurae experiment that I LOVE,

South Seas

I’m going to finish my coffee and get ready for Mother’s Day with the kids- we’re picking them up soon, and taking Brian’s mom out to dinner!
