Wow! What a stormy past few weeks we have had. We had a huge storm Tuesday night that put on quite a show. My husband and I stood in our garage and watched "War of the World" type thunder and lightning. As the lightning hit I would say "Look for the pod!" We heard one so very loud thunder , it was like the sound started the same time the flash and went on for what seemed like minutes, but was most likely seconds. When I woke the next morning and walked through my living room I saw that we had lost a tree. It is funny that the night before I had told my husaband that if that tree was not there we could see the lighning better, be careful what you wish for! When I drove to work I found out I was not the only one that lost tress, they had fallen everywhere. Memphis is just known for their storms and Cordova has had it's share this year.

Where am I?

It has been a while since my last post. What have I been doing? Living life, crocheting a little less this year but trying new things. I took a jewelry class to make lanyards to wear to work. Love it! Here is one of my favorites. I'll post a few more when I take some photos.

I took the class at Ami's in Germantown. It was a fun filled Saturday afternoon. Would recommend to anyone.

Last week I took a Polymer Clay class at Memphis College of Art. I took it because in making the lanyards I wanted to try my hand at making my own beads. I don't think this will be my calling, but I so enjoyed the class and hands right in there style of Lisa Tribo, artist extraordinaire. I think I will try some of the larger beads to use on the end of the lanyard.

Placed a new order for Twilley's. They have come out with the 50 gram ball. I always seem to order in the summer when they are doing inventory. I vow to put my order in by February next year so I can receive by September. They have discontinued the 250 large cones. I did place an order for the 1000 gram ?cone?. I don't know how it will come. A lot of my customers make snowflakes out of the white and it is a must have.
