Beads Galore!

Our poorly cat is still doing well, thank goodness. He is such a little sweetie and really good at taking his tablets - as long as they're in a bit of fish though.

His brother had to go to the vet on Monday. He sometimes has trouble weeing and on Monday he kept going to the litter tray but couldn't do anything. The tablets we give him when he has this problem didn't seem to be working so off we went for yet another vet visit. They had to keep him in to sedate him so that he would be able to go but by the afternoon he still couldn't wee. They then had to give him a general anaesthetic and then finally he managed to empty his bladder. He's back home and is fine now - thank god we have them both insured!

It was my eldest son's birthday on Wednesday and we had a lovely day. We went ten pin bowling (I was the winner - yay!!) in the afternoon and then went out for an evening meal. We went with my parents and it was really nice to have a family day.

I had 3 days at the torch this week which resulted in 9 new sets of lampwork beads in the shop. I'm not sure which ones are my favourite but I really like these Santa Fe Lentils - I have a thing for turquoise and amber together.

I thought for a bit of fun I would put these colours into Etsy and see what came up. First is a beautiful painting by Etsy's MADART - I just love the colours in this. In fact I love almost everything in her store! The second pic is an amazing bead embroidered cuff from CindyCaraway - I am so in awe of the work that has gone into this.
