New Projects in the last week

I have been working on many new projects in the last week or so. As I mentioned previously, I have completed 6 new projects. I have been very fatigued and tired, but the heat here in Chicago is not helping any. Matthew is also doing very well. His school year will be ending next week, then he will be starting his summer camp about the middle of June. He attends camp thru our local special recreation park district. They are a wonderful organization, NEDSRA. They are able to cope and handle the various problems associated with his Autism. They even have camps specifically designed around Autism. Which is very helpful. He's been with them since 2005 and he really loves attending. For more information on this wonderful organization, please check their website www.nedsra.org

I have also taken the liberty of posting a very pretty picture of my favorite place, the Japanese Gardens. It's very serene and quiet. Absolutely wonderful for calming an Autistic Child. Matt was very quiet and respectful when we were there. He understood that need even at 8 years old. We were even able to observe a real Tea Ceremony. The colors were magnificent.

This is Matthew and Me at the Gardens. We just love those waterfalls!!! They have been my biggest inspiration in taking pictures. I am also an amateur photographer, when I take a break from Beading and watching Sci Fi.

As many of you know, last week on the Season Finale of Smallville, Lana has apparently been blown up. Supposedly by Lex. And ironically, the Phantom from the Phantom Zone has been reproduced into Bizarro Clark. OOOOH! Scary. And that the Martian Manhunter is defending Lionel's motives in trying to help Clark...suspicious. And there's Chloe's mysterious healing of Lois Lane! So, who's actually leaving the series? No Clue! But, I will be watching advidly come this Fall.

And don't get me started on what happened on Supernatural. All told, I think the death of the yellow eyed demon was way too easy. But, then, what do I know!

I am looking forward to seeing what happens on all of my favorite shows come fall. We are still waiting for the ending of SG-1 and Atlantis. I just wish they would finish out the series with Jack and Sam FINALLY admitting how they really feel and getting married. But, those pesky Ori, just aren't going to step back!

I have to say though that I will be doing lots of projects over the summer, once the TV goes into re-runs. It's so hard to concentrate when the good stuff is on!

Beading Happy!

Here's one of my new projects! I just love my Ice mix. I have 3 now: Ice, Lilac and Rose. Thank goodness I can always get more of these colors!
