I have been doing pretty good at selling the springs lately, and I have sold them to places as far away as the United Kingdom. 

I recently shipped an order off to a customer there who wanted a copy of my Bumble Bee Nodder Pattern, but the pattern had mysteriously disappeared from my computer. Probably lost during a recent computer crash where I had to replace my hard drive.

I started trying to make the bee body again from memory, but after I had it drawn a new bee body pattern out on paper again, I pulled my golden honeycomb material out so that I could test my pattern to make sure that it fit together properly, and I found one complete body already drawn out on the material.  Good save!  And boy was I relieved because I was not sure that this new bee would look like the old one had. 

I traced a copy of each body piece before I sewed the bee together so that I could save the pattern first, but I still have to type out the instructions again.
