New Size

Well, as I stated in my blog last night, I am now making Large Dragonflies as well as regular sizes. The lady who ordered the big green one indicated that she was interested in a couple of large ones so I have created a red/orange one too. They are both listed on etsy, but I am attaching pictures here. The are really cool hanging in my window surrounded by smaller ones. I like them a lot.

On a Special Note: Corrinea thank you so much for your idea to send special handmade glass beads to Caden. I have been thinking about it all day and honestly it is such a kind and selfless thing to do that I am moved to tears. I mean you don't know my family and you don't know this sweet little boy, but you were moved to do something kind anyway. I don't think that I can tell you quite how much that means to me. I was wondering if you might string them (Or I Can) and send him a special beaded strand of courage from Germany. You could include a special note if you wanted as well. It's a small idea, and you are already going beyond what you need to, so please feel free to say no with the knowledge that I wouldn't be upset at all. It is a very special thing you are doing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Adventures in Town

Well today was rather uneventful. But aside from being a Crabby Pants this morning, Michael had a good husband day and took me to town so that I could pick up some more material for my dragonflies. He even helped me pick some bead colors. AND he just got back from IKEA where he bought me a tray so that I can have a flat place to make them when I am sitting on the couch. First of all, he hates going down town and IKEA so that fact that he did those things is very sweet and supportive. They all have those great days once in a while.

If I would have thought about it, I would have taken pictures of the kids playing in the slip and slide. They were VERY funny and cute. Also, I have added a couple more dragonflies to my etsy store and added more pictures to existing ones. JennyP said she always likes it when sellers have more than one image of their craft so that she can see them in different lighting. I must say that I agree--and not just because she is my friend. :)
