My production line

These past few weeks have seen me sitting at our salon table with my beads spread out (taking up the table space) while I make 60 beaded wine labels holders for my friend Lynda Bennett's wedding.  The wedding is not until July 17, 2010 but I thought that I would get started on these and you know me once I start something I am like a dog with a bone, I keep at it until it is finished.  I started making the beaded wine label holders on Wednesday last week and I have completed 30 of them already.  Lynda will be pleasently surprised when I give them to her next week, 5 months ahead of the wedding bells.

What do I do all day - Part 2

(Still need to bring them back to the boat).  Joined Etsy Canada on line and Etsy BC on Ning, now I need to post my photos and blog in this location as well.  Chatted in the Etsy Beadweaver forum on
