Lindy, my sister Bin & I took off down to the Gold Coast Harbour Town - not to shop, but to bead!
We all played making bracelets with lots of help from Michelle who owns Beadworx (Go to http://www.beadworx.net.au/ or just click on the title of this blog entry) and is very helpful and just lovely. I love her shop because it's so well set out, there's lots of great kits, walls of colour co-ordinated beads and heaps of charms and Pandora-style beads too. Quite frankly, what's not to like???? Just wait until you see the jewellry we made!
Of course we stopped for a delicious lunch to fortify the inner woman before we got down & dirty bead-wise. I learnt heaps of great tricks and tips and came away with a 95% completed bracelet. It's in funky shades of pink and silver. Yeah!
That night we had a family dinner - roast beef, vege & gravy followed by orange almond cake with a luscious orange sauce (and cream for those who can handle it). Thanks Mum.
It was a pretty special birthday with pressies, good wishes, phone calls, creativity and good food. Now I just have to scrap it!
Happy birthday to all Cancerians everywhere,
Jane
