My friend Louise, from Fireseed, gave my blog an award for exhibiting either gratitude or a great attitude. I am very honored and humbled to receive this prestigious award. Here is what it’s all about:The Lemonade Award is given to sites which the giver thinks show either great attitude and or gratitude.
The rules for these awards are:
1. Put the logo on your blog.
2. Add a link to the person who awarded you.
3. Nominate 10 other blogs.

Well, nothing much new today. Got my beads out of the soak this morning and there are a couple of good ones some mediocre ones and some really bad ones. Oh well, at least I made some. I also know now why Louise makes Monkees and I make cats, and skulls. The monkeys that survived are sort of like Larry, Moe and Curly. One of the peapods has a crack in the back and the other one has a sharp spot (I am going to try filing down). Yikes. But dang it one of my skulls had its pupil pop off. I was so focused on heating and reheating I forgot to melt them in a bit. At least there are a couple of things that actually worked. That's what I get for trying to make Sock Hop beads. I made five spacers on one mandrel, but only have four because I have no clue where one of them went to. It came off the mandrel hit the kitchen floor and shot off somewhere. Dad says I will find it with my bare feet after I have forgotten about it. 
From the final bead you will see I even tried pulling twisty, quite an feat for someone who has never really been taught to pull stringer.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the monkees!!! :D
Thank you Rita for the award!!! xoxox
Also... I think the monkeys are really cute! As are the skulls, but they look a little scared of something? And your first twisty attempt looks pretty darn good!
You are doing some wonderful things. And your twistie looks good to me. Larry, Curly and Moe are too cute.
Hi Rita,
Congratulations for receiving the award.
It sure is a good recognition for one's effort.
Shows that interaction and consideration are important.
Best regards,
José
