Spring is finally, I guess!

The birds are chirping, a sure sign of spring. I haven't gotten out of bed yet. Just laying here enjoying the sound of the birds.

Today is my mothers 70th birthday...or would have been. I am going after work to plant flowers by her grave. Dad wants me to plant marigolds, like last year. He says this year he wants yellow and orange ones. He usually goes with me for this task but this year, he's out of the state. So I'll be making this trip alone.

The birds are still chirping and I am going to make this a happy day. Nothing is going to stop me.

Happy Birthday, Mom!!

The Month of May

May is going to be an interesting month. It's either going to be very positive or very negative. I'm going to face the month thinking it's going to be positive.

I'm not a political person and I don't have a preference over who should be president, however, I have to say that right now I am very happy with Bush because of this stimulus rebate we are getting. You see, I am going to do my part and use this rebate as the Prez wants me to. You see, in this positive month of May, with this rebate, I am going to buy a kiln! Right now I am very happy!

What a great day!!

It's not often I get a birthday without rain, so what a treat.

Worked on beads last night and got some great spacers. The two focals were beautiful, I was so proud. However, when I got them out of the crockpot they both had cracks in them. I need to get a kiln. Hopefully, soon.

Have a great day. Enjoy the sunshine!

Last night...

I did get on the torch for a bit last night. I made another off mandrel heart for the BOC challenge. Tried something new...mixed white and dark amethyst on the end of the amethyst rod. That was fun!! It worked too. Made the heart and popped it into the crock pot of vermiculite and let it set for a couple of hours. Wouldn't you know, darn loop on the top of it broke off! Oh well, it was great practice. I'll try another one tonight.

Enjoy the beautiful today. Till tomorrow...

Just testing to see if this really works from my phone. It would be good to be able to send from where ever I am. So if you are reading this, it worked.

Have a great day. Enjoy the sunshine. I'm going for a walk!

Here's last nights beads. This was my first time doing hearts. I am very pleased with them. I can start to see I am getting better with the torch.
