As some of you may know I have an obsession with lampwork beads and any type of jewelry made with them.

Without going into detail I happened to come across a blog regarding a jewelry artisan who it appears due to her sons tragic medical circumstance is about to lose her home.

I will let you read her story here

Now in order to come up with the needed $5,000.00 the lampwork community has unselfishly donated many outstanding beads to be sold via ebay on Thursday, July 13th. This will be a 3-day auction only since the foreclosure deadline is looming.

You can read about the auction and see the magnificient beads going up for auction here. I know I for one hope to bid and win just a few of those beads….How about you?

I love meat….specifically BBQ’d meat….

Grilled to tender perfection nothing tastes better than slow roasted ribs glazed with my home-made bbq sauce…or a nice juicy steak sprinkled with fresh herbs from the garden.

With that in mind you need to check out Monster Crochet…bbq at its finest….and all you vegans out there will love it too! (trust me on this one)

Check out that bacon wrap!
