I’m traveling!

We’ve had a bit of upheaval in our lives  and this week has been particularly stressful.  The Man and I brought the kids up to Portland for a few days for a much needed break. Hopefully, he will be able to find an Oregon based job while we are here.

I like to bead when things are stressful.  Yesterday I stopped by Planet Bead in Hillsboro Oregon and picked up a few kits.  I forgot how expensive patterns can be! 

I won’t be doing much shopping this year, but I am also looking forward to attending Gem Faire next weekend in Sandy Utah.  Even if I can’t buy anything,  it is always inspiring to go.

Hopefully I will be home (and beading) by the end of the week.  In the mean time, I am currently sitting in front of a window watching the rain come down on a small farm in the middle of the Coastal Range in Oregon.  I can not think of a better place to re-group. Tomorrow we are heading out to the coast.  I want to beachcomb for agate.  It is one of my favorite pass times.
