I haven't posted or made beads for a few days now - on Thursday afternoon the trainer at my daughter's school called. She got hit in the head with a softball and they thought she was showing signs of a concussion. They told me to watch her carefully. I thought with her symptoms I should take her to the doc - so on Friday that's what I did and she does have a concussion. Watch her for other signs, but no exercise for a week...she doesn't like that at all!!! But she'll be ok. Today, I think I'll finally get around to some enamel beads and more head pins, and maybe some lampwork beads as well. Depends on how I feel later - I am very tired. I myself am going through a little medical issue (girl stuff) but need to have surgery coming up soon. I'm ok, but it's on my mind a lot and it also makes me pretty tired! Hopefully we'll all be back to normal here in April. I'll post later when I have some enamel beads up!
The AE Theme Challenge this month is Repurpose chosen by Lesley. Great subject, and I wish I had more time to work on it. The day job kind of takes away my creative energy at times, and this month is no exception! However I did manage to do a few things! The first thing I thought of for the theme was something I had been thinking about for a long time. I remembered I had this magazine that repurposed those desiccant containers you get in pill bottles into beaded beads. I set out to find that magazine in my stash. I'm glad I found it, because it was actually driving me nuts as to where it was. Here are some photos of me in the process of making some of these beads. So the first one I made, I liked ok. But noticed on the end that you could see the white container through the ends. So I got a sharpie out for the next one, and colored the ends so they didn't look so white. Then I made a few more of these beads, and quite honestly, I was done with...

I hope you survive the week of a daughter anxious to get back out there!
Plus, I got my April Bead Trends yesterday and LOVE your pieces! That set of glass is wonderful! Plus, I sold the set of earrings I made with the chardonnay beads. Good stuff!!
Take care. :)

Sending you that squeezy healing type of sisterly love that all ladies need once in a while!
Hope your daughter is on the mend and that you get to relax a bit and take care of yourself too! I recommend a nice soaker bath, complete with bath salts, candles, and some Harry Connick Jr. on the stereo!

Thank you for sharing,

Oh, I have had my share of the medical issues, nothing serious, but still, very worrisome at the same time. Hope your daughter is back on the field soon and you on your torch.
