May 3, 2007.... Made my 'First Thursday' trip to Bullseye to pick up this month's 'Special Production' colors....Unlike last month there
were just 3 colors and one...Dark Aurora.. was a repeat from a few months ago... the other two were a Deep Aubergene and a Pale Blush
Lavender Transparent (which will probably etch beautifully)....I will make them available in both Classic and Earring Sets a little later in
the month. The Aurora will show up on occasion in the OOAK (One Of A Kind) area since it is almost 3 times the cost of regular rod....and
it is more than 'fussy' to work with!
The weather was cold today...I could see my breath this morning when I let the Dogs out! We had rain and hail and sun and wind....well,
not all at once, but you didn't have to wait too long between them either! The weekend is supposed to warm up and dry up.... maybe I'll be
able to attack the moss on my back patio with a bit of bleach.....

Well, I've fooled around with the site a bit....Please let me know if it is too confusing or too tedious.... Designing these things take a lot
more thought than it looks like! There are lots of new goodies....but I'm going to see if you can find them! If you can't....Well it is back to
the drawing board for me! Also please check my JUST BEADS auctions, there are some lovely sets there just waiting for your bid!
It was a noisy week, but I have a new ROOF! The dogs were beside themselves because of all the commotion but we all survived!

| My Portland to Coast Relay team "Butterfly Babes" shaved more than 30 minutes off last years time! I can hardly believe that I collected my 7th medal! This year the coarse was 127 miles and we walked it in 29 hours and 26 minutes! |
June 1, 2006...... I am so proud to announce that the Just Beads Auction Site has named me Featured Artist
for June 2006. Click on the PINK link to the left and read all about it! What a thrill!
And to Celebrate I have a new Bead Set up for sale called Summer Celebration.....it puts my colorful Crayon
Brights frit blend up against Pure White. Click on the Bead Sets For Sale link to the left to get a good look at
it!
Made my "First Thursday" trip to Bullseye today. They have decided to put their new production colors public
on the first Thursday of every month....I think that is a cool idea because it gives us all a fair chance on
whatever is new and limited! I ran right home with my stash and sat down at the torch.....now I can't wait until
the morning so I can see what comes out of the kiln. There was a cool mauve with a bit of an opal mist, a hot
Hawaiian Punch!, a substantial Cinnabar...there are 6 new colors...I managed to get to 5 today and a test bead
of the 6th. I have made up a sample set of all 6 colors to put up for sale here tomorrow...that way you too can
have a chance at the newest of the new. Check with me tomorrow!

The weather is struggling to get warmer....and not quite succeeding! But the trees are almost fully leafed out in the Park.... I bought a
little Tomato for my Patio Pot...you need at least one Tomato plant to herald the Summer!
I've cleaned out a bit of odds and ends from my collection....you'll find those in "One of a Kind" and there is still a good selection from
Bullseye April Special Edition Glass in the "Limited Edition" section. I will try to add more to the "I'll Always Be There For You" section in
the next few weeks. Time is traveling at Warp Speed!

February 7, 2010 Amazing that we are almost into the second decade of this century! Where does the time go? Aside from that... Valentines Day is just around the corner and I have a few pretty things available in reds and pinks on Etsy. There is an eapecially pretty Pink Dew Drops Bangle that is a real bargin for $15.00 plus shipping. Check those little goodies out. My good friend Jeri Walker (PMC mavin and jewelry maker) and I are putting together a CRAFTERS MARKET in the Recreation Building at Treehill Condo Park. We are on the East side of NE 238th between Halsey and Glisen. Next Saturday, FEBRUARY 13TH is the date and we will be open from 10AM to 4 PM. Many of our Good Friends from last summer's Farmer's Markets will be there and I'm sure you will find lots of good ideas for Sweetheart Treats. I will have both loose beads for all my Jewelry Designers and a few pieces of Finished Jewelry. If you want more information email me at betty@elzbeads.com ... Also we have 1 or 2 small table spaces still available...let me know if you are interested in joining us! |
