Which is really a shame seeing how the heat index is 102 degrees today. It looks like someone had a tea party at the bottom of the pool with the chairs and table sitting in the deep end. All this happened right out side of my apartment and I never heard a thing.
It really makes me sad with the nice amenities our apartment complex offers to see others treat it with such disregard.
If your going to bead you need to see. The right eye glass prescription makes all the difference in the world when you are trying to see those tiny beads. Take care to choose a good Ophthalmologist(Eye M.D.s) who specialize in eye and vision care. I found out that sun damage to the eyes is linked to Macular Degeneration and cataracts. The Dr. who did my exam was very thorough. I am now sporting transition and progressive lenses and I can see those beads!!
I couldn't pass up the bling. The frames are bronze with tiny crystals accents.
Be good to your eyes. Get them checked once a year.
Is the perfect match for this Dragonfly necklace
A bevy of Dragonflies.
I think I have made enough for now.
This morning I had a cup of Chrysanthemum tea. It had a slightly sweet taste and was fragrance. It was wonderful! I picked it up yesterday at a Chinese cuisine store. I will be going back for more.
Thanks for stopping by.

Brass chain and a Vintaj toggle complete the design.

Gosh I would feel like it was Christmas if I won that box of beads!
I am making progress on Glimpse of the Seas. Many pearly treasures are surrounding the Sea Things cabochon. It's going to make a wonderful cuff bracelet when done. I have stretched my creativity process with netting around the pearls to create an illusion of being caught in a net.
It's Monday and the beads are calling my name.

Have a great weekend.
This new desk is simple, takes up less space and gives me more room in my bead room.
There won't be any more beads in my keyboard. I have set up a small table to bead on that fits right next to desk. There is more I need to do to get my room back in shape. I will be doing it a little bit a time. I working on a bead project that needs to finished very soon.
I have been very quiet of late and there has been a reason for it. I am not going to go into details. Instead I will leave a word of advise. If you are taking blood pressure medication or any kind of medication and your doctor changes it beware of the side effects. Read the warning sheet that comes with your prescription. Be informed and let those around you know what to watch for.
