Who else is still waking up an hour late after the time change…? 😮
On the bright side, we now have nice long days because of daylight savings – AND it means Spring is right around the corner! Woo hoo! 😀
Here in SoCal everything is starting to bloom! We have several fruit trees in our yard; plum, apple, nectarine, lemon and orange.

The lemon tree has been producing fruit already. And while the nectarine and apple trees are in bloom, (see pic), we probably won’t have any fruit until mid-summer or so.
The plum tree hasn’t quite blossomed yet so it will be a while for that tree to produce anything.
We’re crossing our fingers that we’ll be able to get to the fruit when it’s ripe before the birds do this year! Haha! 🙂
Thankfully the weather has been be perfect for making beads. So I’ve been able to spend some time on the torch – which has been so much fun.
Here are a few NEW beads that I’ve made recently (photographed outside in natural light with my iPhone) that you can now find in my Etsy shop…

Cambria Reef – rustic shades of olive green, bronze and amber with touches of dark turquoise blue.
Del Mar Reef – misty colors of seafoam and soft blue with ivory and shimmering goldstone
Waikaloa Reef – tropical purple and lavender with aqua blue and spring green
Bora Bora Reef – contrasting shades of purple and orange with a bit of sparkly goldstone
Thanks so much for looking!
