Sunny again!!
Supposed to be in the forties today! We drove to Bridgeport yesterday---the wind was blowing and the geese were everywhere. There were thin snow squalls like curtains, and the geese were restless and excited, moving ahead of the squalls.
This picture is from the morning, I love the way the sky looks like a watercolor wash, with the low clouds floating on top of sooty sky.
Bead pics today, I hope! I got sidetracked yesterday until the light was gone, and it might not have worked anyway, as cloudy as it was.

Snow and skirts
Nice wet snow, that's already beginning to melt...At 5:30 this morning it was windy and snowing sideways, but by seven it was almost dead still.
Now the sun is peeking through, and I'll bet the white stuff is gone tomorrow!!
The pups are sooo fat! Roly-poly little peepers, they eat, sleep, and eat. The eyes should be opening any time, and we can't wait!
I hemmed Con's skirt yesterday---I used the Bo=Peep pattern in Seams To Me and it came out very well. I could have wished for a straight on front or rear view, because I thought from the photos that the ruffles went all the way across the back, with the front being straight. Instead the ruffles are on the sides with front and back straight, not a design that I would wear as a somewhat hippy adult. It does look great on a young girl though. Con chose turquoise as her main color, with yellow green and white thrown in for accents. She certainly has her own style already, and it surprises me at times!
I have a nice pile of beads, but they're mostly for an order....back later w/pics!

It rained
It rained last night----we heard thunder too. Strange for February, but we'll take the moisture!!
Back later w/pics, Chuck made some really pretty leaves with the new Aurae silver glass, and they really sparkle!
One of the pups managed to crawl out of the bed last night, I woke up to puppy yipping and Cocoa's anxious whining. Stumbled out of bed, put puppy back and slept like a stone the rest of the night.

Mirrors
I got so sidetracked yesterday that I never came back with pictures like I'd intended. I had picked up several mirrors for photography before LAST Tucson, then promptly lost them. Not that I like to admit to being so disorganized, but I might take after my mom just a little on that one. If she put something in a safe place, you knew you would never see it again. So THIS year, I happened to sweep under the bed in the guest bedroom, and there they were. I pulled them out and took them to Tucson for display--which was fortunate because Burgard had a brand new ring that just happened to fit my flowers and just happened to look fabulous on a mirror!
So, yesterday I finally dusted them off and took my photos on them. I didn't know there was so much dust in the world, let alone on my little mirror!! I've for now settled on an alchohol wipe between pics and banishing the cats from the room.
