Last day

Boy it was so sad to wake up that last day knowing that I would have to leave and make it back to Columbus leaving my old friends (including Molly the best doggie bed warmer ever), new friends, and the snow!  I drove separate & wow, almost rear ended Maggie who drove in front of us. The roads were horrible.  Liz said at one point Maggie asked her if we were behind them & she said no we were right beside them...waves!

Last day is always bittersweet, but what a way to end.  I had so much fun making pinwheels for Met's Pinwheel Encore necklace.  What a totally unique way to get rivolis caged.  As I was making one, I thought that this would be a wonderful way to use rivolis on bead embroidered collar or cuffs or dolls or...well let's put it this way...I was inspired.  We worked up until 4 pm laughing & enjoying each others' company.  Only sad thing was that Liz was being a teacher's helper in Tracy's class. 

Drive home wasn't too bad.  I plugged the iPhone into Element's jack, and listened to Pandora all the way home.  And wasn't it wonderful to be home again.  I gave Chris a big hug, then plopped  down on the floor to get my fix of Scottie kisses.  They had been saving up all week long and gave me a surplus of love. Then they all shuffled back to the couch and slept the rest of the evening.

Everyone busy working on pinwheels

My very first pinwheel...peyote...there!  I finally matched you.

Sorry for the shadow, but here are my pinwheels and Kudu spiral

Another of Met's kits.  I want to make this SO BAD!
It is always sad to leave and come back home, but this time I brought so many wonderful memories with me and know that I WILL BE BACK!  So how many more days until Bead Daze???

Beautiful job, looks and sounds like you had a great time. Glad you made it home safely, winter weather driving is always nerve wracking. Happy Beading

Way too many days until the next Bead Daze Frenzy. Molly is waiting.
