We are having a day filled with sunshine but as it's spring, there is a lot of wind. But it feels so wonderful to have the sunshine coming in the windows this afternoon.

I have been busy working on my handmade beads. Some are ready to string into a necklace so I must find the correct type of cord I want to use to do that process. It's amazing how each bead colors react to the finish I am putting on them. Each seems to have a distinct color of it's own that really stands out. It does feel good to finally have a project for my Japanese paper I have had for so long! And of course, when I need more of this beautiful paper it's a heck of a good excuse to drive to Seattle to see the son and visit Pike's Place Market again!!
