Busy Busy Busy!

Time has totally gotten away from me…been busy with commissions and Mother’s Day items and have just lost track of time! A few quick tidbits….
Mother’s Day – it’s right around the corner! Is your mom a beader? Well, if she’s like me, she’d love a magazine subscription, gift certificate to an online or brick and mortar store, or a GC for a beading class. If mom’s not a beader, make her a great family-oriented gift…use crystals in birthstone colors to signify kids and grandkids in a ring, bracelet or necklace.
Tents and canopies…I could write an entire novel right now! I did quite a few outdoor shows last year, and sadly, the canopy that I’d gotten from a sporting goods store didn’t hold up. After talking to a number of folks, I decided to invest in an EZ-Up canopy with sides. At Sam’s Warehouse, it was around $199, and I do have to say it’s HUGE, plus it’s easy to get up and ready to go. A big thumbs down on the carrying case though…it’s nearly impossible to get the tent back in the bag, and the handles are in all the wrong places.
Summer vacations are right around the corner…for the last couple of years I have gone to a bead store or beach on vacation, picked up some unique beads or beach glass, and made myself a nice piece of jewelry. It’s a great souvenir and I have the fun of making something that makes me think of my vacation (a plus is when I can actually do the creation while I’m on vacation and think of the location whenever I wear it!)
