from my Android…
and I’m actually not working! LOL Brief update- working my fool butt off to get caught up with a couple major expenses. Still getting things listed on both Artfire & Etsy, but for the next week, it’ll be sporadic due to working schedule. I sold my garden bead…so that’s inspiration for designing a new cased floral- and I have some macrame designs itching to get out of my brain. June 1 I get back in my shop to start working on TRF stock for this year. Yay! It’s a good year so far. Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend!
Finally. I have so much new stuff to list on Etsy…taking all the pics? Well, piece by piece I’ll get it done. Artfire is almost finished, so I’m switching over to the Etsy this week. Keep an eye out for me, OK?
In other news? RAIN! We’d been in drought for so long that every time it even drizzles I celebrate. The past few days have been nice gentle rains here, despite the awful storms that have surrounded us. I’m thankful. For the rain, for this beautiful piece of dirt I lay claim to, for my life. Namaste.
Whoo hooo…I finally made them and got them on Artfire! (and figured out how to use the system). Check it out and tell me what you think? Thanks!
Etsy certificates available soon!
Spent the day doing bead photography and editing. I’ll be listing daily until they’re all up…lol. Meantime here’s one of my favorites I listed today….
Spring Garden Goddess Bead
I’m now in the process of re-stocking my Artfire where I list my glass beads and jewelry, as well as Meditation Bottles. Finally. I lost a lot of organization here on this site due to the hack, but you can get to my Artfire through the RapidCart widget on this site.
I’ll work on the macrame too, and the widget for that is just under the Artfire widget.
I know there are a lot of pictures missing and several pages too…I’m trying to work on everything at once, lol, and while I’m making progress, it may not show up here right away.
Keep checking with me! Thanks….
Sorry everyone…have to test the re-installation of a bunch of stuff which went poof due to the hack. Grrrr. The good thing is, I’m having to remember some rather neglected skills!
So, I find out that plug-ins that make the site pretty also can be vulnerable to attack. I’m getting this back together little by little…seems I’ve lost all my photos, & since I didn’t delete them, I don’t know why, but I’ll try to find them and get them back in. Haven’t figured out why my theme went all squirrely either yet, so I’ll be working as I can. I don’t understand hackers. Seems like such a waste of talent and time…
UPDATE: I won.
figured out how to get the photos linked back up, so many are…a few are not. I’m missing several shopping tools, but I don’t have anything on-line yet, so I’ll get to it. Have I mentioned I’m really disgusted by hackers?????????
So, first I choose a bottle. This one is gorgeous aqua…

Then I bust it up…usually with a BFH. LOL

Next I start melting shards to pull rods.


I get fairly thin rods….trying to melt larger chunks can get messy & dangerous.

And finally, here are the first beads from this bottle!
