Well, that’s everything and it’s a lot. I hope you find something you like! Meanwhile, I’m working on a somewhat interesting update for you but it likely won’t happen until next week. As usual, if you miss out on anything this week or missed out on stuff in the past, I’ll cheerfully accept a made-to-order for anything not marked OOAK (one of a kind).

Thanks for checking out the new beads, we’ll chat again soon!

beads this tuesday!

It has been decided. It’s happening in my shop at 7PM Central Time this coming Tuesday, October 4th 2022. Every time I drive by restaurants and retailers on Tuesday evenings I notice how deserted they are. Maybe since calling in on Mondays gets you a particularly stinky stink-eye, Tuesday is the day for resting up after a rowdy weekend. Or maybe it’s the best cooking at home/online shopping day of the week and I never knew it. Below is a very small teaser of what will be available.

I’ll see you Tuesday!

still alive

I am tempted to give that title to every post these days… each day I escape death by aggressive and inattentive drivers or acute annoyance is simply miraculous. Anyway. I’ve been really busy with nothing exciting enough to mention yet besides the beads. (…yet. I will give you a full report later.) The beads are fantastic and there are so many of them! I’m working towards a shop update/sale/whatever you prefer to call it – hopefully early next week – but like I mentioned, I’m swamped, so once I nail down an exact date I will surely let you know. You can expect something to happen next week for sure. Meanwhile, look at these fun random pictures from my phone camera.
