March notes

I just realized it's already middle of March!!  ....and I'm behind with the "March Notes" again.  
With the Spring hours we just returned to, I'm excited about the longer daylight hours now!  YAY!  It is so helpful when I'm creating and then take photos the same day and not have to wait until the next day because it gets dark too soon.  Plus with the longer daylight I have more creative time especially when matching colors in a design.

We are supposed to get a snow storm starting in a few hours, so we will see how that develops over Sunday and into Monday.  

NOTICE:  This Sunday's show  "Gathering In The Arts"  at St. Francis Xavier Parish School gym in Sartell has been CANCELLED and MOVED to Sunday, April 19 with the same location and times (11 am - 4 pm).

Also the Sartell Winter Farmers Market which normally would have been the first Saturday of the month in April, has been MOVED to Saturday, March 28 from 10-1.
The Sartell Community Center will be closed on April 4, so the market had to be moved up to a week earlier.

So here is the updated schedule for the next upcoming events:

THE JEWELRY:
​I've been continually busy creating as I've found some cool new beads, plus some that I've had for a while which were just perfect for the ideas and designs I've got coming up.
So here are just a few examples - and of course many more are available at the next shows...

Last Thursday I was at the Bead Store in Taylors Falls again and found some very cool Cloisonné beads Jeff just brought back from his trip to Tucson!  Oh, my!  ALL.THE.BEADS!!!  Such beautiful specimens for sure, I could have spent more than I did and certainly blew my budget again.  
So off to creating more so I can offer you guys lots of new and exciting items to add to your "arm stack" and "neck mess"!!

​

LASTLY:
​We should finally be out of the "winter" season and sudden snow storms blowing in! Hoping that this weekend's predicted storm will be the last for the cold season.  I'm ready for it to warm up and not have to worry about show cancellations like it happened for this coming Sunday (March 15).

Before you head out, always check my Facebook Page first, because that's the one thing I can access anywhere I am without it being too complicated to post something.  When it comes to here, this website, it's a bit more challenging, so I need a laptop.   Certain features on this website just aren't available via a phone and so I need my computer at home.  
But events are always announced on my FB page, sometimes on my Instagram as well (but I tend to forget about that one quite often).  

Until the next time - stay warm (if you're in the Northern parts of the US) and remember....SPRING is coming!

Blessings,
