Mardi Gras!

I'm getting ready to spend 5 days in the great city of New Orleans celebrating Mardi Gras. We have a group of 18 people going. The friend who organized this trip also planned 4 meals for us to enjoy while we're there - a private dinner at the St. Louis Hotel, breakfast at Brennan's, brunch at the Court of the Two Sisters (is there irony here), and dinner at Bayonna. In between meals, I'll be catching (hopefully!) beads. It's all about the beads!!!!!!
Denise will be doing the show in Fishkill with mom and I'll see you in Syracuse.

Beads, beads and more beads

Denise and I are busy making lots of new beads for our upcoming shows in Newark and Clarksville. It seems like life is spinning very fast right now (in many good ways) but bead making time has seriously been missing. When I was teaching full time I dreamed about the many hours I could devote to bead making after I retired. Where did those hours go? I can't figure it out. Hope to see many of you over the next 2 weekends! Keep beading!
