Hello 2010, I greeted this new year surrounded by people I love, in good health, still working at a job I love for 31 years and learning and growing in my craft. None of which is new, and for that I am graciously grateful. In 2010 I will focus more on the simply things and the joy it brings.
More time listening to my favorite musical artist,
More time doing absolutely nothing,
Sitting in my Springtime garden,
Finding natures wonders in my Winter garden,
Enrolling my granddaughter in the creative girl craft club,
Creating a jewelry piece at the spur of a moment,
Just looking at my beads.
This past Sunday after dinner I took a look at some beads I had on my work table. It was quite a few beads. Lot’s of shapes and colors. I spent about 30 minutes looking through them then I went to bead. The next day my 14 year old son(who at times will accompany me to expos or craft shows)said “Ma did you make something new”? The answer was no. Then I had an ah ha moment and asked my son to pick 3 beads from my desk and I would make something from those beads. This picture is the end result. My son thought the necklace was “off the hook”. He tells me that’s a good thing.
Approaching the holidays these days. It would be advisable for you fellows out there to think of finding something nice for your lady. As we all know most women love jewelry. When It comes to jewelry there are many options to choose from. Try looking for a nice pair of handmade beaded earrings
It’s been a very hectic and chaotic few months for me. A sick husband has kept me extremely busy. God willing he’s on the mend now and I can start refocusing on my jewelry making. The rare times I had a free moment I would glance at my beads and a couple of ideas would flash across my mind. I did make time to become a member of another venue for handmade items.

I realize that whatever else is going on, beading is always in the back of my mind.
