On a side note; I'm in love with the way my bamboo floors turned out in the new house.I may post in the next month, and I may not. Depends on how the time organization goes.
Enjoy your Holidays.

Bead Line Studios on Vacation
I'm going to put everything bead related on hold til late December, including book & DVD sales from my web site. I've got to move all of my stuff to the new house. Then there is Thanksgiving, getting things ready for the trek to Arizona, driving across country, a visit in New Orleans, and getting the Arizona house opened back up. Whew, I'm tired already!

Floors
I'm finally seeing light at the end of this project
*floors going down*
The recycled click-together tiles in the bathroom are looking fantastic. I thought they would work, but until you see something like this in place you can never be quite certain.
I love the bamboo flooring. My Son said the whole effect was "upscale urban townhouse looking" - all of that in a very rural, little ranch house? He is putting the flooring down and threatned to throw me out when I tried to indulge my creative side. I was trying to arrange boards in a pleasing manner. He's right, random is easier and comes out looking just as nice.Now comes the decision time:
What needs to be done so we can actually move in?
What can wait til next Spring?
I don't want to wait until we're snowed in before heading out for Arizona for the winter.

Careful what you wish for
Back in September I said,
" Now I wish I could replace my antique oak table with one of those retro red and chrome 50's kitchen table sets. That would look awesome in this kitchen."
I was semi-joking when I mentioned the table because because I'd only ever seen one red one for sale and it cost as much as half my beads. 1930's through 1950's anything in red seems to be popular and very expensive.
.
This was in the Salvation Army store in Concord NH today. Now I need help. I need to find 4 to 6 chairs to go under it.

This was in the Salvation Army store in Concord NH today. I hesitated.
I hemmed & hawed,
walked away and went back
to look again.

The table came home with me.
It really wanted to live in my yellow kitchen.

New Orleans & 4 years of Blogs
4 years ago I started this Blog.
29,800 visitors read what I had to say in that time.
Thank you all for showing an interest in what I'm doing.
It's been a journey with lots of changes. Many good and a few not so good.
A little over 4 years ago I visited New Orleans and later created a freeform bracelet after the hurricane. This winter I'm going back to New Orleans. Although the city won't be the same, I know the time spent with Bev at No Easy Beads will be just as enjoyable.
