Let the Summer Begin

I haven't been very good lately( or ever) in keeping up with my blog..however I do check in every day to read and lurk on my favorite Blogs.
Seems the last month or so I've just been playing catch up with all manner of distractions keeping me from the studio..when all I really want to do is make beads.

Hopefully today, after some minor errand running I will get my wish, I've been playing around with  a number of ideas for new pieces and would like to get those into production this weekend..
Hope all of you have a fun and safe Holiday..let the Summer begin!!!

Here are a few photos..of just stuff an such.
