My father raised us to love musicals, none more than Kismet.
Sometimes I play the melodies on my keyboard. I don't play well,
but there's no better way to spend time than making music,
even if it's clumsily done.

I took a class once on making glass beads: such a joy.

Molten, swirling glass on a stick!

 

I've made necklaces and baubles with my beads...

...adding beads from
these boxes.
