Sea Glass Stash!

Yes, there is more then one form of STASH!

But first, I just got  back from spending a few days on the beach at Seaside where I finished up July Word Play from With Thy Needle & Thread.  I really enjoyed stitching this piece and I can see that I will not be stopping with one month. 

I also never get tired of stitching with the sound of waves in the background!  God I love that sound!  If I ever hit the lottery, I know exactly where I want to be ~ Next to the ocean!  Which brings me to my 'other' stash!  Whenever I stay in Seaside, I set my alarm early to walk the beach to see if I can find a handful of sea glass.  Usually it will just be clear glass but this trip, I found a bounty!  

                     

And not just a bounty but greens and ambers and even a bit of blue!  Just as I was wondering why the drastic difference this year, a woman came on the news talking about a group that is collecting beach trash from secluded areas trying to determine to what extent, if any, some of it might be from last year's Tsunami in Japan.  It's incredible to think that with the ocean currents, things can travel that far, isn't it?!  

 

Hope everyone has a safe and happy Fourth of July!
