Now, to be completely honest, this year hasn't had the best start. At all, really. On January 1st, the mother of some dear friends passed away unexpectedly (and quite tragically, in a flash flood), so the first week of this year was spent flailing around, making arrangements to go out of town to support them. And then, upon arriving home, I was hit with some sort of cold/flu/crud that has knocked me out cold.
I'm still feeling under the weather, but it's Wednesday and dangit I want to post to my blog. So, here I am!
And on my worktable this week, I'm experimenting with the Pantone Color of the Year, Living Coral:
Coral isn't a color that I usually work with, but I do have some beads in my stash in that hue. Here is what I am currently playing with:
Those will probably become earrings for this month's Earrings Everyday We're All Ears challenge. I also have a necklace in the making... It's fun to play around with something so bright and cheerful, especially when I myself am not particularly feeling that upbeat.
Thanks for stopping by today to see what I'm up to... I hope that your year is off to a much better start than mine. Ah well... here's to brighter days to come--and, of course, more beautiful jewelry!
Have a wonderful week, everyone!
I'm so very sorry to hear about your friends' mother. What a tragedy! I'm sure having you there at such a rough time was very consoling. As for your bead table...I can't wait to see what you make for the challenge. I need to get started on it myself! Here's hoping you feel better soon!
