wishing for the sun

It’s chilly and cloudy today, one of those days when you wonder if it’s spring or fall outside.  Good thing I have a couple of sunny flowers to show that will hopefully warm up the day. 

Hues of the Sun is a flower that I came up with the idea for last fall.  I made all the leaves in October and then it sat in the unfinished pile for months waiting for the perfect center.  It turns out some dyed fresh water pearls worked wonders and truly complete the spectrum of sunny colors. 

StarSuns you’ve seen before.  I taught a class at the Bead Parlor in February using this flower.  Just recently I gave them leaves and made them into a permanent bouquet.  Each flower is actually a slightly different shade of golden yellow because of this and the contrasting centers they truly glow.  And right as I typed that the sun started peaking through the clouds.  Maybe these flowers will help warm up the air.

This weekend Mom and Dad came to pick up Velesa, so we are now back to two kitties.  We helped the Dude semi move into his apartment and got to check out the area.  He’ll only be 45 min away so that’s kinda cool.  Plus he’s only 10min away from the Bead Parlor     Last night while the guys watched bad Sci Fi movies Mom and I chatted about our plans for the B+B show.  It’s now only a month away and a reasonable time to get excited.  We looked at the classes we’re signed up to take.  Went through my treasure bead boxes and pulled out treasures that might be useful.  I made lists of things I want to work on during my time off…and it was a long list.  I still have a couple more flowers left to show, plus an announcement of a new line of flowers coming out.  I’ll be probably talking a lot about the B+B show and I signed up to be in my first craft show…more on that soon.
