 Happy BTW! These are some wire beads I made. The one n the left is my first try. I like the size so I break out my brand new green Soft Flex wire.I was the lucky winner of a package of  Soft Flex wire in the new colours.,(the other colours I got were gunmetal, blue, red, gold & silver).

 See that bokah* in the background there? That is my Bead Soup piece. I made it 2 weeks ago & I liked it just fine, thank you. Now that I have some green wire beads  I realize that is exactly what my Soup needs,parsley, anyone? So I am going to start over~Whoo Hoo.

These are my daffodils. Yesterday I saw that I had shoots w/ 8 buds. Please remember I was under feet of snow 2 weeks ago, where did these guys come from? Today I found 6 had bloomed~ Yay Spring!

I am working on a necklace for myself. Pink bamboo coral on ribbon w/ a button/loop closure. The ribbon wasn't my first choice,or even my second choice, but the thin leather cording & the waxed linen wouldn't go through the holes. I'm knotting a simple overhand knot between each bead. I don't 'do' a lot of pink, but I loved this old colour & had to have it @ the November bead show.I took a wider shot of my bead table today so you could see the real story.It's a mess,full of bowls, beads,tools,& other various items.I use a tray to work on so I can have a little space, (it also keeps projects together so I can switch out as needed).Come back on Friday & I'll show you a mess!
