Wrapping up May

I'm slowing getting back into work mode - It was a fabulous weekend playing with metal clay, and two glorious days in the garden! A couple more days next weekend of planting and cleaning up, and then I can finally truly enjoy the garden.

The ladies at the shop are busily preparing to pack up for the Toronto Bead Society Show this weekend. We'll be down there Saturday and Sunday - Hope to see you there!
