Well, not quite 'adios' yet, not until tomorrow afternoon. I still have one full day to make beads, buy dog food, clean beads, pack beads, pack other stuff, find all the stuff I want to pack, do laundry, buy human food, embellish a felted frog, cancel the exterminator, go to the mall, call a dog trainer, and pray that my hairstylist spontaneously recovers from her cold and wants to cut my hair. I look like Peggy Hill!


Yep, I'm off to San Diego again, this weekend Penny and I will be at the San Diego Bead Society's Bead Bazaar with lots of goodies and a special focus on Halloween. Wayne and Judie will be there too, and they'll display the felted critters I've been blogging about.

New stuff? Let's see, I'll have those big koi beads I posted a few weeks ago, and some fun big-hole beads to go on the beautiful silk necklace ties I got at B&B. Oh speaking of B&B, the Bead Dreams issue doesn't hit the newsstands until September 4, how frustrating! The iguana wants his 15 minutes of fame and he wants it now!!!! Maybe I can find someone who subscribes to it to let me borrow a copy before the Austin Bead Society show on Labor Day weekend. On the bright side, pictures from the exhibition will be posted on the Bead and Button website August 24, so mark your calendar .

There should be lots of fun things to blog when I get home, Penny and I have set this week aside for all the crafty fun projects we talk about doing together but never seem to have time for. I'm taking one suitcase for clothes and one for all my craft supplies...haven't decided which will be the larger one...but I think I can guess...
