My sister gave me a small stash of lampwork beads, with only a request to make a bracelet and a pair of earrings out of particular beads.  I used some glass beads and pearls that I had in my stash, as well, and the clasp is handmade as well. I do have the earrings done, but I need to figure something else out for getting pictures of them–they’re so round that laying them flat makes them look awful.  Kind of a fun project with beads that I probably wouldn’t use otherwise. 

I’ve been having a HORRIBLE time trying to get the website up for The Old Mill Store.  I’ve been back and forth with my host trying to get the blog up and running.  Supposedly it was one-click installation, but this is the second time it’s failed.  Ever see a computer fly???   Then, as I was trying to write this post, I had issues with my password here.  Grr..

 On a happy note, I made a bunch of ceramic beads today.  They are drying as I type.  I can’t wait to glaze them.
