I got a call out of the blue from a customer who would like bracelets made for a bride, her bridesmaids, her mother and soon to be mother-in-law. The bracelets are to have beads made from the wedding announcement. Colors are a very soft gray and aubergine purple. The bride will have paper beads with her and new hubby's name on them and the other women just get the edge of the paper where a silver streak will zip across the bead. I found some gorgeous purple satin string wrapped beads along with some small silver seed beads to go with them. The above picture is of the ingredients so far! Come back in a few weeks and I'll post pictures of the finished products!
And yes, new grandson is now 11lb 8 oz. If I can ever get over this nasty cough and stuffed nose, I'll go kiss his little cheeks! He is such a sweet, happy baby!
School has started again! and I have the 3rd book in the "Hunger Games" trilogy coming any day now - a real favorite of my junior high students! Planning is started for a trip to Scotland and No. England for probably July or Aug of 2012! So life is good.
As far as my IIH condition (I refuse to call it a disease - see:www.ihrfoundation.org), after a brain MRI this summer, I definitely have an "empty sella" and "dilated optic nerve sheathes". But at least I am not dripping CSF fluid and my headaches seem to be under control at the moment so we are making some progress. I will have 20 lbs off by Jan. 1, 2011 or else! Check back on my progress there also.
