"How did you sleep?"

I am working on a new pattern for a pair of dragonfly earrings and am becoming sadly disheartened. I can not find daggar beads in any color at any of my go-to suppliers! This is so frustrating. So I will try to hunt down a strand or two of them so I can make these beautiful little earrings ano...

Hello everyone! I write to you now as an overly excited newly-engaged woman! I can't explain to you how excited I am. I feel like a brand new lady! Long story short: We were in the Berkshire mountains at a friend's country house (just the two of us). He said: "Will you be my wife?" I said: "...
