The birds are singing and the sun is shining!

It's the beginning of April and already it feels like we are well into Spring.  I shouldn't speak too soon though.  Although we have been experiencing unseasonably warm temperatures it will be a bit yet before we are planting our gardens and wearing shorts on a regular basis. 
We have just begun a 4 week Stay at Home order as Covid is still going strong in Canada and Ontario seems to be bearing the brunt of the infections.  Toronto is considered a hot spot but unfortunately so is Ottawa and so we follow the rules and stay close to home except for groceries and medically related outings.  The nice weather is a godsend at this point in time and we are finding lots of things to keep us occupied over the next month.  Robert and I are scheduled to receive our vaccines next week (Wednesday for Robert and Thursday for me).  I never thought I would be so excited to get a needle.
I've been spending lots of time in my studio and having a great time creating some new designs.
My "3 in 1s" came about after a friend encouraged me to give mask lanyards a try.  Instead of making something that was single purpose I decided to try and make them a little more functional and added the eyeglass lanyard and then the conversion to a necklace.

I also ordered some new frit and I've been having a great time making beads with it.  So far my favourite is Chapel Window  - a beautiful blend of purples, pinks and aqua - so pretty, so feminine.  Another favourite is Abigail - the colours in this frit are fantastic and play beautifully in the light.

And finally - I took a leap and ordered some new earring mounts called Trumpet ear wires.  They came in the mail late last week and I immediately had to get on the torch to make some beads and try them out.  The verdict - I LOVE THEM.  I even modeled them for a prospective client.  They are so beautiful and feminine and sit so nicely in your ear.  I think that these earrings will be popular (at least I hope they are!)

I'm also busy putting together a Mother's Day promotion and setting up pages to inspire gift ideas for all the deserving Moms out there.  So, with that, off I go to work on the website.
