It's been over a week since I posted. Most of that is because I was out of town last weekend at Hottime on the Mountain in Asheville, NC. I was fortunate enough to be asked to demo one of my murrine ring beads.
I made one like this but added butterflies. It went pretty well, despite using a smaller torch than I am used to (which is pretty much always the case in these settings and is totally fine). It just means the poor attendees had to spend a lot of time watching me wait for glass to melt.
However, on Sunday morning many of them showed me their class beads and everyone did super awesome. I know what it feels like to be scared of using murrine. Greg (the hubby) is a master and it still took me years to get comfortable with trying. It's really not that hard, I promise.
Anyway, I came home with a pretty nasty head and chest cold. This is what happens when one doesn't have kids and rarely spends a bunch of time with the general public. Our immune systems just aren't up to fight off the latest germ de jour. Hopefully I don't infect Greg. Two of us sick just won't do. Especially since I'm feeling pretty pathetic right now.
One bright spot in my day however is a five heart review I just found on Sizzling Hot Book Reviews of Haunted on Bourbon Street. It's the first book blogger review I'm aware of and I couldn't be more thrilled.
“Haunted on Bourbon Street
Yay for a pick me up!
