Wow, this is tough. I think this will be my last blog post here on Maggie's Bead Towne. Don't be downhearted, a new blog awaits. How I hope you will join me in my new blog home. Thanks for years of fun!

I'm just setting up the new blog and it looks a bit too simple right now. As with most moves, it takes time to unpack and settle in.

Sunshine Yellow

Not my favorite color, 

but I did find a few yellow things around the house. 

Funny how they are crafty items.

Green, Green, It's Green They Say...

It's color week at Beyond Layers and 

I skipped ahead only to be a day behind. 

Spring Break

It's not officially spring break, but mine is starting early since I only have class on Monday. It's rain, rain, rain all week, but maybe once next week comes around we will see some sunshine.

I've been thinking about taking a blog break as well. I'm working on simplifying my online life and contributing where I get the most in return. I've joined some mixed media sites, given up some time killers, now I'll find new distractions, taking way too many e-classes, but learning so much.

Who knows, next week I may change my mind and be back to blogging, but for now I've decided to take an indefinite break. Still plan on visiting blogs and enjoying the work of my friends.

I've Been Mizzle-ing

Working on a shawl for myself, my first lace shawl, and it's called Mizzle. Found the pattern on Ravelry and was attracted to it because it's cute and there aren't any of those pesky ssk or psso or whatever stitches that mess me up. Yarn overs and knit two togethers I can handle. Here it is day two. Lots of days to go.

She Was Surrounded by Beauty

Might take a break from painting/mixed media today,
but had to share the girl I made yesterday.

She kind of sort of has a Lady Gaga mask deal face going on.

Or a surgical mask to keep germs away.

Girl on Canvas

While I am waiting for the Mod Podge to dry on yet another girl, decided to post my first She Art girl that I did on canvas. She is on a 6 x 6 canvas and it's already hanging on the wall in my studio. I'm a bit smitten. Do wish I had left those green swirls off.

Took her off the wall and gave her a headband. Excuse the wet glue and glare.
