I have been a very bad blogger...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been almost 3 years since I have written anything. Many things have happened in that time, too many to mention. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am back on because Lori Anderson, (after a hiatus), has once again ran a Bead Swap Blog/Pinterest Hop. THIS time, it was give a "hoarded" bead to work with. Reveal date is the 25th of March, so stay tuned for the bead and the reveal coming soon...<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Well folks, it is 11:02
Central, midnight o' two Eastern, which means it is time for the
REVEAL of my Bead Soup Blog Hop Creation! Actually- <i>Creations.
</i>Yepper, I made two, well, one has matching
earrings, so three. Four. Enough of the blabber, as it's past my bedtime,
so here we go: “Numero Uno” is a chunky piece using the green and
purple ceramics from my swap partner, along with the ceramic bracelet
focal and the ceramic leaf. I added some pink crystal rondeles,
pinkish/tan mookaite ovals, white components and shell buttons along
with a daffodil bicone swarov and wire wrapped the leaf to the
ceramic bracelet piece. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Part Deux.</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Yeah, I know, I don't do seed beads... Well guess what? I had these ocean blue ones that just screamed "Use me, you know you want to!", and of course they were the perfect match for the blue and coppery lampwork beads and blue rondelles from my swap partner, so I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and here I am. I added some swarov bicones and a druzy pendant, then used the remaining two druzys to make matching earrings. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Today is the day of the 3rd reveal for the Bead Soup Blog Hop. Postponed due to some unforeseen circumstances, but well worth the anticipation! Here is what I came up with from the soup I was given: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used some of the tibetan clay and 2 different designs of black porcelain beads, along with the lampworked heart focal and pewter toggle clasp. I combined those with some small wire wrapped heart and rondel dangles and some lampworked lentils so I have 3 shades of green going on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The next piece contains some beautiful blue twisted lampwork beads and czech beads in the same color from the soup, which worked out awesome with some black faceted roundels in two different sizes that I worked into a symmetrical, yet quirky design, along with a big foiled coin that I've been looking to use in a piece for a very long time.<span style="color: black;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkeXRwwLErHoF0tUsjLCIZJLvD3-Sbj66Mp1-cc-vXnPnrm5kb-1NgpgazfgAHGWHZlAuXOhwoRqAujWmeyMntwjBcADitYQMxQ09t7DqnyVseJygca_d9AGhIHCDZxfNXnk4yCFvMi-Q/s1600/100_3203.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the beautiful "Bead Soup" I received from my Bead Swap partner, Terri Gauthier. It contains 3 styles of tibetan clay beads, ceramic birds, leather cord, heart focal, metal charms, Tierra Cast toggle, fish lobster claw, (it's SO cute!), pewter button, twisted glass, czech glass, lampwork, porcelain, white jade and round glass beads. I already have two pieces made and can't wait to get at more. Thank you so much Terri. Reveal on the 15th of April.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
hubby
and I both dealt with our moms with issues starting in the fall, anything from
dementia, moving in with her for a week, moving her to Alaska, hoarding, congestive heart failure, stroke, infection and
cancer. <br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*He lost his mom in early December.* </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At Christmas, we did our first annual "Ugly
Sweater Christmas"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
mainly supplied by some of my mom's gazillion sweaters that we found while dehoarding. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of cleaning, my dad, who has been gone for 23 years decided to leave a little of his personality behind, because I found this on a box while cleaning his side of the closet out:<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So needless to say, it has a very
eventful ride these last few months, and now we of course are dealing
with estate issues. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both of us. At the same time. oh yes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In February, my youngest daughter and I decided to enter a "Pinewood Derby" family event at church. Just for the BLING aspect, of course. Purple and bling, what do you expect from a jewelry designer???<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So I received my "Bead Soup" from my partner, Megan Collins. Her blog is here: <a href="http://megjustsaying.blogspot.com/">Churchy & Her Sailor .. http://megjustsaying.blogspot.com/</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A touch of fear swept over me as the shipping box was in a bag, and looked like this: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> EEEK, right? But everything was cool, and this is what was inside...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> BEADS, BEADS, AND MORE BEADS. Part of the rules of the swap was that you had to enclose in your soup a focal and clasp to be used by your partner, so...</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">here is a close up of the focal and clasp... </span></div>

Been a busy two weeks. I'll try to condense it all in one post---<br />
<br />
<b>Cranberry Blossom Fest </b>went very well this year. We've been breaking heat records here- I don't need that, I'm in that season of my life where I make my own heat- thank you very much- wish we'd have gotten that pool up... maybe next year...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b>Friday</b> was June Dairy Breakfast, so Simone and I got up and headed to the High School for all you can eat pancakes, sausage, juice, chocolate milk, cheese curds, sweetened dried cranberries- (courtesy of my hubby's workplace), and an ice cream sundae. I don't know where she put it, 'cuz I took the curds, milk and sundae home for a snack later. Well worth the 6 bucks.</div>

<b>Saturday</b> was the Craft and Art Show. Sun stayed hidden most of the day, and the little smidgen of a shower was a great relief. Ended up with a two sided exposure this year, so that made for a quick "reconfigure the set-up in case it rains". Thanks to the hubby for driving in to help set up, as I flew solo that day, Simone had plans.</div>
