beadin'

So.

After Annual Meeting yesterday,

My Sister and her hubby (whom Lex' adores!) came down.

There was a bead show in town

and Ter never misses a bead show if she can help it.

I went along also

because I like to pretend I can make jewelry, too.

Actually,

I like to buy the kids some beads

so Aunt Terri can help them make nice jewelry while she's here.

It was fun shopping with her.

She 'sees' beads like I 'see' fabric.

I love Lexi's face in this one ~ and her hair.....

I could just see those wheels turning in her head

as she held up strand after strand of beads

or laid them gracefully across her arm.

Half the work of creating her jewelry was done

by the time she put the beads in her basket.

Me?

I just wandered around

and asked questions like,

"Do you think these beads would hold up in the washer

if I sewed them on clothes??"

Thanks for a fun day, Sis! I love you!!
