Not a Good Way to Start the Week

I'm all ready to get far far away from orangy shades and jump right into the green of a Project Spectrum May! I did get a start on my coral necklace, and as you can see from the little pic, there's some green in there, both in glass beads and freshw

Here's another April Project Spectrum project finished - the Whimsey Scarf, by Zephyr Style. I had bought a kit from Kpixie a few months ago (it doesn't seem to be available there anymore), thinking it would be a perfect April project...not too oran

Sunday Update

Sunday, 9 April 2006 11:45 A GMT-05

Too Busy to Blog?

Wednesday, 5 April 2006 6:25 P GMT-05
