February started ordinary enough, but now it's been snowing and very cold. The trees were starting to bud and this cold isn't good for them after they start to bud. My trees were not that far along, but for those that were early this could be bad news.
Todd helped me prune the pear, apple and cherry tree and cut back a vine maple that I allow my westeria to use as a living trellis.
I have cleaned up a bit in the garage from working at our rentals. And this weekend and until I feel I'm done I will be steam cleaning the basement rugs. It's only two weeks until my beading weekend with friends, so I need to get the place squared away.
We will set up our temporary studio in the basement. We will be five for sure and perhaps two or three "drop ins". I have 8 foot long tables that we will use. Two to a table with all the beading tools, gear, supplies, lights, books, etc. It can be a bit cool, but with all of us down there it should be pleasant enough. We'll listen to music and do wire working. I made a byzantine bracelet two years ago and last year a jens pend pattern, both in sterling. The price of wire is getting so expensive, so I won't even be able to work in silver.
