So much to do...

and, of course, never enough time!   With warm weather approaching everything in our prairie seems to be popping up at once.  It's that spring thing!   Much as I'd rather have been beading or pounding metal, I spent an entire day last week cleaning our garage, ridding the floor of last winter's accumulation of dried mud...dirt roads make it impossible to keep one's car or garage clean!   All the while, thoughts of what project I might start while on vacation were spinning in my head.   I never go anywhere without some sort of beading kit.  I carry a tiny 2" x 2" plastic box that holds seed beads, needles, and thread in my everyday purse because I never know when I'll be stuck somewhere and at least I'll be able to stitch a pair of earrings!
