Playing Hooky...

The past week or so I have done little to nothing. After the last few weeks, it's just been time to play hooky and forget about all the things I "should" be doing. And just a word to my family members...could we just stay away from hospitals for awhile now? My brother-in-law first and then my dad. Both are home now.

Does that mean I don't have anything to show you? I do...I sold a set of beads, packed them up and mailed them off. And....they never made it there. I give pats on the backs to the post office though. Even though it was sent 1st Class, I still got answers to my questions via email and a call from my local post office. They have gone missing. So I did my best to make another set and with fingers crossed they are on their way.

This was the original set
These are the replacements...



















I listed these together, mostly because I haven't taken the time to make little beads to match but I think they would make wonderful focals.

  1. Deronda,
    I'm so sorry about your missing shipment. Whoever 'finds' your pretty beads is a lucky person. At least your post office made an effort to help you - can't say the same for the guys over here.
    Hope this doesn't happen again!
