The Pink Hair Trend

My spouse liked my daughter's hair so much, he decided to go for it.

And Speaking of Dyeing...

While I was dyeing beads, this is what my older daughter did to her hair today.

More Flowery Things

I have one heck of a flowery fabric stash, so I made up this little jewelry bag to put some of my overwhelming jewelry stash in. I think I'll try and put some of these in the TabbyToo shop and see if anyone would like one. It has eight little pockets in it to keep things separate.



I've also been dyeing my own lucite flower beads, after purchasing some that I wasn't too please with. Since I've been dyeing fabric and fiber for decades, and have a fantastic collection of good dyes, I thought I'd try dyeing lucite.
I ended up with nice, smoothly dyed beads that the color stays fast on even when washed in hot water. Here' some earrings that have a violet color I'm particularly fond of. These will end up in the shop too.


These deep red ones were dyed by me and are already in the shop. I've got some gorgeous burgundies, lavenders, blues, pinks, peach, rusts, mauves and grays to make up into jewelry. It's lots of fun.

Spring Time Flower Necklace

I'm still yearning for Spring, especially after waking up to 14 degrees Fahrenheit this morning. Here is a Spring inspired necklace I made up using purple lucite and glass beads, antiqued brass and copper. It can be worn at either 16 inches (see above) or eighteen inches (see below), and can be found in my Etsy shop.

Dad's Birthday

Today is my Dad's birthday.

RIP Dad. I love you.

The First Flowers of Spring

The very first flowers to bloom in my yard are always Iris reticulata. They bloom even earlier than my earliest crocus and are often popping through the snow. They are very tiny - about the size of crocus and come in various shades of purple and blue. They've increased slowly over the years and some have formed a nice clump. Here are what's blooming in my yard right now.
