I Have a Question for You!

I've decided to only do one show this year.

It's a big show, so I need to start thinking about it now.

It's in October, so I'm in the beginning stages of thinking and planning what I am going to make for the show.

One type of bead that I am going to make is the animal print bead in different shapes and sizes.

Now, I have a question for you.

Here is a sample of the giraffe beads I plan to make.

These are going to Beads of Courage.

Which of these two beads do you like the best?

#1

or

#2?

I am such a terrible person! How could I do this to Pixie Marie?

It all started yesterday afternoon.

Something smelled and needed a

B.A.T.H.,

but how could I do this to her?

She tolerated the indignity, but before I could catch her and dry her,

Miss Pixie Marie was down the stairs and on the couch.

She got to the couch before I could cover her with a towel or cover the couch.

When I covered her with the towel, she wouldn't even look at me!

Yes, she was trying to guilt me!

Notice the look,

"How could you do this to me?"

Well, she does look better now.

She certainly smells better now.

And, as with all that ails you,

a little sun,

and 

a special treat,

makes everything so much better!

I'm still not quite forgiven, but things are better!

She might allow me to continue to be her owner.

I have a blog giveaway going on.

So Where'd You Get that Bracelet?

Mary Clare and I were having breakfast at Perkins one morning.  She said, "Before I forget, here's that bracelet I was telling you about."  Truthfully, I had forgotten.  I saw it and said, "Wow!  I like it!  Where did you get it?" 

Mary Clare looked at me like my kids do when they think I've just something stupid.  "You made it for me," she said.  "I did?  But where did you get the beads?"  I was totally puzzled by now. 

Again, the look.  "YOU made them."  "I did?  I did?"  Wow!  I really like them!
She said, "I do, too, and I wear it a lot because it's so colorful and I can wear it with so much."  "I really made those beads?"  The look.

I guess so!  Aren't they fun?  I plan to make more of them now.  Especially since my skill level is so much better than when I made this bracelet for Mary Clare. 

I really made them?  I was better than I thought.
