Cozy Mysteries and Powder Puff Bushes

Volume 19 Issue 2, February 2022

What's New in February?

I would love to say that I have hundreds of new beads to post, but that is not the case. In fact, I don’t have anything new to post this month. January was a very busy month for everything but beads. However, I am looking forward to having a little more time off from work, so there should be an uptick in my creativity.

I have been working on a book series, so I have been immersed in that for the time being. I have the first draft of one and part of the first draft of another one in the works. It will be a six book series in the cozy mystery genre. I discovered that I enjoyed reading them and thought I would try my hand at them. I have very little fiction under my belt, so this has proven to be an adventure and a challenge.

I also discovered that when I make a mistake, it’s a huge mistake that takes months to unravel. Hence, the start of the second book before the first one is even finished. I coerced my dear son into trying to unscramble my mess. He’s not fond of the genre, so he is a reluctant alpha reader.  Anyway …

In the meantime, here is some beautiful flowers that are blooming in my yard.

New Earrings:  In addition to fractal earrings, I added some pretty flowers and other colorful beads.

Thimbles: New Christmas and great grandma thimbles, as well as faith-based thimbles with bible verses.

New Book: The Joy of Jewelry Making Create for fun. Sell for Profit is now available on Amazon in both paperback and ebook formats.

You will find all of my beads, canes and finished jewelry on my website. www.bluemorningexpressions.com

Until next month,

Julie
