Rain, Rain Go Away!

Happy Saturday!

Yes. I'm home. We did plan on going camping this weekend, but the rain spoiled that. And we heard it might snow if temps get cold enough. What the heck is going on here?! Last time I checked it is MAY, isn't it? If the weather keeps up like this I'll have no choice but to move back to California. I just can't handle these grey skies, it is so depressing. UGH!!! I love sunshine and warm weather. Give me 100 degrees, a pool and a Lime-A-Rita and I'm a happy girl! :)

We went to the movies this morning and saw Madison's pick, Epic. It was cute!

Enjoy your holiday weekend!

Happy Monday!

What a great weekend. Hope yours was, too. Jordan had a baseball game Saturday and Madison a game Sunday. Her coach said, she's doing great and is a terrific player. Ah, that was so nice. He's the best coach my kids have ever had and my kids have had a lot of coaches between the 5 sports that they play. He's very positive and supportive, yet firm on what he's teaching them to-do. That's a special quality a coach and I appreciate that. He used to be a pro soccer player, so that may having something to do with.

Nothing new today... I hiked 4 miles this am. :) Then I helped a friend move into her new apartment and now I'm off to Jordan's baseball game. He's playing 1st base. Woo Hoo... Go Warriors!!!

Have a marvelous Monday!

Happy Friday!




Sitting at the baseball field waiting for Jordan's game to begin. Isn't technology grand?!

It's been a great week. 2 new sets this week Forget-Me-Nots and Green Tea. Check them out on EBay when you have a chance. Thank you! :)

We had planned on going camping this weekend but come to find out Jordan has a double header tomorrow so we had to reschedule it for Memorial Day weekend instead. But that's okay instead of 2 nights, now we get 3.

Wishing you and yours a very Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Friday!






Hello happy Friday!
I am really enjoying the great weather we're having. It was a long Winter so I've been out and about every chance I get. My girlfriend and I have been hiking a lot 5 miles along the Black River Canal Trail yesterday. The picture is looking up river at what we've named, Owl Rock. The rock in the water looks just like an owl, doesn't it?! What a beautiful day in the Adirondack Mountains.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Crossing Paths





Look what crossed my path during my hike this morning. I'm guessing its a Gardner snake. I just about stepped on it but something told me to look down. Good thing I did. It was hard to see! Scared me...lol

About Me

My photo
Clinton, New York, United States
Welcome to my blog page and thank you so much for stopping by! I'm Krissy Dery mother of three and lampwork artist. I was born and raised in Southern California but moved to Central New York May, 2010 with my loving husband. Creating beads allows me the incredible opportunity to be home with my children for which I'm truly grateful. My glass beads are made by me and me alone at my home studio in historic Clinton, NY. I pride my self on my attention to detail. I love making beads and hope you can see that in each and every bead I create. I use many types of glass: Effetre/Moretti, Lauscha, Vetrafond, Czech and Bullseye. Each and every bead is immediately placed into the kiln for annealing, soaking and gradual overnight cooling. This insures that my beads are not only beautiful, they are durable and will last a lifetime. Visit my site - http://krissybeads.com/ Follow me on facebook - https://www.facebook.com/KrissyBeads
