Well summer is taking it’s sweet lovin time coming to Oregon. I know many are having weird weather, from tornado’s to flooding…to extreme heat…well we are stuck in early spring, or fall type weather…not a ton of rain…but showers…overcast and cold! Not the sunny warm we have had in the past years.
Trying to give myself the feel of summer I put away the bling (dichro beads) and have been making florals, and ya know what?? They do lighten my mood and make me smile when I make them….so that is a good thing. My customers hopefully are enjoying the new crop…it has been quite some time since I made florals. I have also been practicing my stringer work, both giving me a different feel at the torch, they are more relaxed and slow moving beads.
Here is my latest…I am in LOVE with these…they remind me of my childhood and my mother’s garden…so I called them Nostalgic Garden, they are up on eBay right now.
and Wildflower Blue’s up on my Etsy

Well anyway, are you still waiting on summer to arrive?? Or…are you done with it and ready for winter?? Ok maybe not winter..but at least spring or fall?
