Getting Ready for Sunsets at Pier 60

Sunsets at Pier 60 is nightly event at Pier 60 in Clearwater where local artisans, crafters and performers gather as the sun sets. This fun family event is free and is held every evening. The next "jury" for new artisans is coming up on April 20, 2010 and I'm hoping to be there. I've been out making an abundance of beads at the torch and the creativity is just flowing. Every time I'm out there, more and more ideas are just coming to me and it seems I can't be out there enough. I would be out much longer than I have been if it wasn't for the little guy and school getting in the way. I'll post some pictures as soon as I get the time to take them. In the mean time, I have tons of beads to clean!

The Little Things

Yesterday was a good day. It was a beautiful day out. Spring Break started for the grade schools and the beaches were packed. The time with kids was great. The simple things really make a difference. We had Good Humour Strawberry Shortcake and Chocolate Ice Cream bars and played with balloon punch balls. Ahhh the little things that make kids smile!

On another note, I passed my Community Health Nursing Theory and Practicum class with A's and my Health Assessment class with a B. I was floored. I've been busting my butt and would forget assignments and I was considering dropping at one point. I'm so glad I persevered. Now onto Nursing Research and Legal and Ethical Nursing.

And, of course, my little artistic touch to this blog post. I took my lampwork bracelet out of the tumbler yesterday. Inspired from Kerry Bogert and her Totally Twisted book.

Blue Twix

Some pictures of a new bracelet I made. Lampwork beads made by me as well. I call it Blue Twix. Sorry the pictures are a bit over exposed because of the sun is bright here in sunny Florida today.

Treasury Loved

This treasury totally caught my eye. And, of course, I added most of the artists to my favorites. The felted bear, the bunny, the chihuahua in the scarf, the spirit of woodlands, and of course the fonts are just totally unique and gorgeous. The vintage earrings and the wirewrapped earrings are, of course, some of my new favorites as well. This treasury is just that, a treasure. Found things that need to make their way into my home. Go visit and see what I'm talking about.
