Vacation!

Vacation in the Midwest and Beads Baubles and Jewels.....

Tuesday morning we will travel to White Bear Lake in Minnesota to visit with Mark's family. We were married there on the 4th of July 22 years ago. Every year we have the day off and fireworks, what a great day to be married!

Here's Mark enjoying a canoe trip on the lake



And Maya loving the breeze on the motorboat


And when I leave there I fly to Ohio where I will meet up with Marlene Blessing to shoot a segment of Beads Baubles and Jewels. It's only a tad bit nerve wracking. I'm going to demo how to bezel a rivoli in right angle weave (what else would I do?) I need to start practicing moving between the steps and beading my samples into manageable bits like they do on the food network channel. The disadvantage I have is I've never seen Beads Baubles and Jewels because I don't get the PBS programming here in San Diego.

Jean Campbell is shooting a segment at the same time and I can't wait to be in the presence of both these women. How cool is that? What a lucky girl I am!

    Marcia - if you go to google, put in "Beads Baubles and Jewels" and select videos you can see some samples of episodes of the show. I just watched one on making felt beads. There are other clips available
