lo and behold

This was a good week because:

I posted in my blog 5 times! (I’m a M-F kind of gal.  I spend so much time on my computer that I just have to put it away on the weekends.)

I got a haircut.

I made a big and bold decision. 

I made waffles for breakfast because I have totally spoiled my kids into thinking that homemade food is required for breakfast, and I got tired of hearing “Cereal again?” 

I  learned about an amazing wire technique in a tutorial on Daisychain Jewellry. The photo below is what she did, not what I did.  Mine most certainly won’t be as even and beautifully tapered, but I sure am going to give it a try. 

I learned from the queen of color herself Kerry Bogart where to buy high-quality colored wire. (photos by Kerry)

I learned about a fun new toy from Lori Anderson.

I finished a necklace.

And I have some leftover handmade lampwork beads from the set ( Beverly Hicklin in the UK.)

Leave me a comment on this post before midnight Monday, and I will enter you into a drawing for these beads - my gift to you for being part of my good week.  And while you’re here, please subscribe to my RSS feed (an invitation, not a requirement for the giveaway.)

Have a great weekend!

I’ve had very little Internet access during the past week – a welcome break for the most part, except that I just spent a few hours catching up on blogs, only to discover that I’ve missed a lot, including a great giveaway from Kerry Bogart.  Congratulations, Michele!

Here’s a glimpse of what I haven’t missed: 

Relaxed mornings.

Fun afternoons.

Getting to know a new cousin.

Wish you were here!
