Another beautiful day here in Michigan. Yesterday actually hit 78 out and it was nice!!!! We are getting a little spoiled I think because next week the temps are suppose to drop back down to the 50's.
I had some ebay auctions end yesterday and truthfully it looks like I won't be listing on ebay for awhile. I talked to a good friend who is a beadmaker as well and she said she hasn't posted anything on ebay for awhile and I am taking her advice. I think I will stick to my specials and some custom order work for the time being. PLUS! I have something NEW and exciting to announce!! In the very near future I will be making beads to fit the Pandora/Troll bracelets!! My wonderful engineer dad is making me the dies and machine for setting me up to do the silver core lining for those beads! I am so excited!! Well over a month ago my friend sent me a link to the pandora beads asking if I could make them. I had heard of them before but I hadn't really ever looked into it until then. Since then I have been researching it and figuring out what I needed to do to make them. This doesn't mean I am not going to make my normal beads because I will definitely still be doing that. I will just be offering these in addition to my normal stuff. I meant to let you gals in on that sooner because I have been dreaming about wanting to do them for quite a while now, but I wanted to wait and be sure I could do them first. So look for THAT soon!
As for any other beady updates I hope to have some new things again soon. I'll see how productive I am tomorrow at the torch. Mark is working today so I won't be able to get any torch time in but he is off tomorrow. Hope you all are having a great weekend!! ~ Carrie
