checking in...

I went out of town over the weekend to my visit my dear friend Linda. A small group of us often convene at her place over the Superbowl Sunday for what has been dubbed "Super Bead Sunday." While I have not beaded in some time I did take the opportunity to work on a charm bracelet I have been gathering charms for since the wee one was born. I have blogged about it before (somewhere here) and I actually attached all the charms thus far. In addition I assembled my bracelet for a mini round robin I am doing with Holly in which we will attach charms to each others bracelets until we are satisfied with their completion.

Pictured here is Angelina, who is Linda's new Pug puppy. She is almost a year old and had to find a new home quickly over Christmas when her families new home decided not to allow dogs. Linda adopted her and she has quickly become part of their little family. I never really cared for pugs until I met sweet little Angie. She is a "Victorian Pug" which is a longer more stretched out version. She is sooo sweet and we quickly became best friends. I miss her already.. she was my little shadow for the time I was visiting.

I returned with a yucky something in my sinuses and chest. I think I am going to have to start taking heavy doses of Mucinex because it feels like its a sticky honey consistency and hard to get out. Sorry for the mental picture there.. its just making me feel tired and lousy. I am busy working on several design projects and filling out the dreaded insurance claims for the emergency. I have various things I am trying to get posted on my Etsy shop as I continue my purge. I have already listed some JUNQUE packs and will have some other bits and bobs posted soon.

I received my Valentine Supplies Swap box from Jeanne over the weekend. Still need to take a picture but here is an image I swiped from her blog. I do have some other pretty things to share but those are going to have to wait until another day. I think I have rambled on long enough and need to get going on my day.... Hoping yours is a great one!

PS, the little seems to have made a full recovery so far. She is better rested, eating more and back to school. Thanks to everyone who sent their support and prayers.
