Bissextile? You Bet!

In case you're wondering, (read the spelling sloooowly), bissextile means pertaining to Leap Day or Leap Year.
It's the day when according to an old Irish tradition, women can propose to men.  I always thought that option was available perhaps 365 days out of the year, but still, gotta mention the hoopla about today.


For me, it's mostly an extra day to get more things accomplished before the end of the month.  Maybe I'll shake things up a bit and ask my husband to marry me, again. I'm not sure if this is true to the tradition, but perhaps I'll get a hearty chuckle out of him.  


Happy Leap Day to you.  If you have special plans- let us know!

Not Slacking...Busy Making Hearts for Beads of Courage

I'm not slacking, I swear!  i know, I should have posted my blog for today a few hours ago.   I'm sorry, but I've been working on purple hearts for Beads of Courage kids.  You know how when they receive their purple heart bead, it means they are done with their cancer treatment.  I thought it sounded like a time for celebrating with balloons.

I'll show you my other design later this week, but meanwhile, back to the torch to make a few more.  And later, I will be carefully cleaning these.  Don't look too closely- I haven't used my Dremel or soapy water yet.

Have a great Monday.  See you tomorrow- on time, I promise.
