Band Concerts



My kids both recently had their band concerts - my son plays the clarinet and my daughter plays the bass saxophone and the alto saxophone. They are both first chair in their respective instruments! I am so proud of them. Here are some photos from their concerts. The first one is my cute son - he's right in front! The second one is my daughter - since they tend to put the big instruments further back, I need to point out that she is the blondie. You can catch a glimpse of the giant baritone sax on the far right of the photo!

In other news, I had fun making some focals yesterday and today - I'm more thrilled with the ones today (although you never know until they actually come out of the kiln) but hopefully I'll have some up for sale tomorrow.

The engineer was evacuated out of his building today because of a bomb threat - second week of school. I don't know what's up with these college students these days - this never happened when I was in college. Only on planes...

What a wonderful job! First chair for both kids, you must be doing something right. Can I borrow your parenting manual?

I'm really diggin' the new focal pieces especially the turquoise. Beautiful work!

Oh, just let me know about lunch. We are way overdue.

Sue, photos of your children playing music is just wonderful to see. I think learning music is so good for kids in so many ways. Scary about the bomb threat and really does make you wonder doesn't it. Can't wait to see your new focals. The one you posted the other day was divine!

Each beader was paired up with another jewelry designer and tasked with sending the following: ~ A focal ~ A special clasp (not just a lobster claw) ~ Some coordinating spacers or beads Using the focal and the clasp was mandatory, but we could use anything from our own stash to round out the rest, and choose to use the coordinating beads or not.

Puppies!

I just had to include this photo of my friend Beth's new puppies. They are 11 week old Jack Russell Terriers. The smaller one is the runt of the litter, but too cute. They are Libby and Lucy!!! Click on the photo to see them bigger!

Another quick post!

I know, I'm on a roll today. Even though I got a late start, I've made beads, made posts, done some scrabble tiles, now I have to fold some laundry and think about dinner. Just wanted to post a photo and link to the ebay auction of mine that started last night - I like the beads, they have a southwest feel and would make a fantastic focal piece in a bracelet, or a whole bracelet too! You can click on them to go to the auction!
