Greetings beadheads! Boy have I been working hard, trying to get ready for Madison next week! I’ve been up since 7:30A putting together 15 pair of earrings and 3 new bracelets. I’ve got this new idea for a focal I want to make this afternoon. Inspiration came from a shirt a guy was wearing on TV. It was a white background with red swirls and black musical notes. We’ll see how it comes out later. I heard that there was more than normal construction around Chicago this summer. I’m kinda concerned about navigating the freeway when I head for Madison. I thought about taking the high speed ferry across Lake Michigan but it has a very early departure, like 9am so back to plan B. Maybe I’ll drive around Chicago, which I’ve never done. I just bought a new 90′ Toyota truck for $300. Wish me luck on this trip! Gotta get back to work. David is gone this weekend and I must say I love having the house to myself. I think I’ll make another cup of coffee and put together the favorite summer bracelet. That one sold last year and I think it deserves to be made again. Lottsa Love to all my friends! Peace, BK
