I hope everyone had a great holiday; things are slowly winding down here in Georgia. No snow, but sleet followed by rain, for Christmas Day. Breakfast burritos for lunch, and over someone's house for roast beast. Everyone liked their presents (really only two mis buys....how can you go wrong there?). The dogs (Emmy, Grffyd - whom we call Gwuffy - Maddy and Zoe) were all well behaved. People slept. Much rejoicing was held. La La Merry Merry.

Did I mention this great website called Etsy.com? I read about it, went to their site - they are a marketplace for people who make handmade goods - jewelry, woodworking, knitting - and people who want to support homemade industries. I spent a couple of hours randomly browsing through categories - a set of polished beach glass wind chimes for $30???? Great fun.

It inspired me to go to Michael's - I beaded as a miniature Eliza (and made pot holders, and tried to sew, and paint, and draw). In fact, that was my only real hobby outside theater in high school. So I wanted to give it a whirl and see if it still interested me.

Oh, I love it.

I've made eight different bracelets.
