What a Marvelous Monday it is! Over the past weekend I actually got caught up with my life! YEP!! I was able to do some beading, some cleaning and even had a dinner out for Hubby for his Birthday!
Happy Birthday HUBBY, you are still older than me!!

So what did I do for the beading part? Oh, you will love some of the new designs. This is the first one, it is ALL green, but soooo sparle’ly!! This is one of those sets that you can wear with your business suit or with jeans. I love sets that can be used fro dress up or dress down. What do you think?

Next I would like to talk about my featured artist; dye2spin. I just love the name and the way that their roving and some of their yarn is displayed!! Isn’t it just tooo cute? She has some wonderful GREEN ways of dying and cleaning your roving. Here is what she does – in her own words, “I use dye techniques that are a bit different from the normal or usual methods. I completely avoid the use of plastic wrap because I cannot sleep at night if I know that I’m putting more trash into landfills”. Please go check out all the other ways she ‘stays green’ and makes these wonderful items on her bio page. Remember, support our handmade artists when you can.
