Finding Frustrations 😩

When I say things like “I have artist’s block”… this is why 🤣

I know WHAT I want to make… I just don’t have the matching hardware to make it! 😩

I started looking into sterling silver filled posts online and had the shopping cart on a site up to $118.
Then I kind of just froze.
I’m not ready to spend another $118 on supplies on the chance that someone MIGHT appreciate the extra trouble I went through to find the perfect findings.
Then people will complain about how much it costs.

It’s really exhausting.

Finally getting around to making the tiny drums I made a little tutorial for the other day…
The only trouble I ran into this time was that the girls actually started using the pony (Kandi) beads 🤦🏽‍♂️
So I found some other beads I had laying around to use as the filler for the drums.

It’s so amazing how much work they put into transporting them back and forth! 😱
🖤💛🖤💛

🐝 The guesses are in... and the answer may surprise you!

Hilbert’s Honey Co. has over 5,000 healthy, buzzing hives! That's millions of hardworking honey bees producing the honey you love.

When winter arrives in Northern Michigan, these bees head south. It takes an incredible 7 to 11 flatbed semis to transport the hives to Florida for the winter months before they return north for the season.

From Michigan to Florida and back again, beekeeping is no small operation—and we're proud to care for thousands of colonies that help pollinate crops and produce delicious local honey. 🍯🐝
