Three Days and Counting….

Sharing a house with others is a great social week and you get to taste other’s different cooking when we gather for our evening meal.

I’m hoping the bead store/internet cafe is open at this time of year so while my other half is blowing his brains out on the Pamlico sound on a board I can while away the hours mindlessly beading…. I get to do very little stuff mindlessly in my daily studio life and beading is physically stress free on my shoulders and other joints battered from going back and forth on my machines.
