SUMMER TIME

Summer has been busier for me than normal.

I taught two 6 week courses to beginning beaders who had never stitched before.

One was for a home-school group of ladies and some of their daughters also.

The other was for adults at my local public library.

I had an incredible group of ladies in both classes and they all did an amazing job with the fast pace of the projects offered.

To top off summer I went on a trip to Shreveport with my PIC ( partner in crime) for our fifth year of attendance at the Shreveport Bead Retreat.

When I came home, it was time to pick up our puppies (two weeks earlier than planned).

Now I am happily babysitting and BEADING.

It will give me time to chill out and spend time with my boys and get them ready for school.

Blessings.
