It's been a while since my last post. Life has changed a bit for me since then and I'm now only working a little over part time. I've decided to see if I can "make do" with just the part time work and try to get my website going...which has been on the back burner for at least 3 years now. If it doesn't pan out...well, it looks like I go job hunting...which I'm kind of dreading at my age.

Took a short hop over to Hilo to visit Mardi, my sister, just after my birthday in April. She had a card class with Anne Oshiro at Mardiart from the 19th through the 20th. Here's some pics.













 As soon as I got back I had to focus on getting some jewelry ready for The Bead Gallery's Charity Fair on April 28th. Talk about cramming! 

These are some of the pieces that I took to the fair. Most of them sold that day, so I guess I'm back to square one on inventory. That's good, I think?
Unfortunately, I don't have any more small hard drives to disassemble so I'm going to have to work with the large ones which might make for some "hefty" pendants. Hmm. We'll see.

This past weekend I took Beryl, my other sister, to Empty Bowl Hawaii. It's a benefit event for Hawaii Meals on Wheels...so it's a good cause. The Hawaii Potter's Guild makes a whole bunch of bowls and about 20 local chefs make 20 different soups for the event. You buy tickets that allows you one bowl of your choice and one soup of your choice. Here's our bowls! Beryl chose a Chicken Tortilla soup (I can't remember which restaurant it was from) and I chose French Onion from Le Bistro.



Up next, I've got to make five Mother's Day cards for the card swap this weekend and a bunch of thank you cards for all the birthday gifts I received!
