Three More Days!

Three more days to enter my giveaway that I blogged about here. All you have to do is leave a comment and what you do to combat the February BLAHs! I've already gotten some really great comments, but you have to play to win! Anyone in the world can play, but only one comment per person, please! Giveaway ends February 28th, probably around 7:30 pm EST. These beads and more are the prize!

In case you didn't notice from my little weather gizmo to the right, the weather here in the 'Burgh is fantastic today! I filled up my kiln with pretties and hope to get some listed tomorrow!

To beat the February Blahs I do a number of things.
I surround myself with bright, cheerful colors. I recently painted my toes a shocking electric blue.

I eat spicy food and pretend I'm in a hot sunny country, (doesn't matter which one)

I've even been know to go the electric beach (tanning bed) for 10 minutes. I know it's not good for my skin, but it makes me feel better every time.

February is a great time to plan my garden. I go through all the seed and flower catalogs and try to restrict myself to order just what I need and have room for and not everything I want! Just looking at all the flowers can transport me to summer warmth. Also I use the cold winter months to bake bread, which I love to do. I don't like to fire up the oven in the summer months but love to warm the kitchen in February!

I like to paint the walls of our most used rooms.Also,a few cushions and fresh flowers help me.If the flowers don't have any scent to them,I'll melt some Tylers melts in a tart holder,something with a fresh spring-like scent.This usually helps,because by the time I've done all this,it's KITE time!!

AE Component of the Month - July - Scarabs by Me!

I provided the scarab beads for the Component of the Month Challenge over at Art Elements for July! And as usual, didn't take a photo of my own bead before I started working with it.  But here is the one I used - unfortunately, you can't see the lustrous oil slick colors of this black metallic glass because once again we have cloudy days here in Pittsburgh. I made a choker length necklace using spiral stitch and these awesome seed beads that go so well with this black metallic glass! I used hematite swarovski crystals to divide the bead stitching and the scarab focal bead; I actually ordered a pile of pairs of various black swarovski colors and decided that these match the best! I finished off the necklace with the ball socket clasp - it's a nice way to finish a spiral stitch - the size is just right and it's fairly easy to sew into the design. Please check out what our guests and team members made with their scarabs! And thanks to everyone who took par...
