Whine, Whine Go Away!

I feel so depressed today. I haven't been able to bead for 4 days in a row and it's killing me! My great aunt has needed someone to stay with her 24/7 while her housemate is in the hospital for a hip replacement so my entire family (all 4 of us) have been taking turns staying with her in shifts. Between work and Aunt Mabel there just hasn't been time to sit down and create. I have been commissioned to make 4 necklaces and another set of bracelets which have my fingers itching to get started. And, now my 11 year old nephew wants to know if I'll make a "guy" bracelet for him. I said sure. I'm actually kind of excited to try my hand at some masculine jewelry. I have ideas flying around in my head for that as well, but can't do anything about it for at least a couple more days. Bummer! Maybe by the next time I post I'll have new bracelets and necklaces to boast about instead of whinning. Thanks for letting me vent. ;-)

My True Feelings

Your Theme Song is Born to Be Wild by Steppenwolf

"I like smoke and lightning Heavy metal thunder Racin' with the wind And the feelin' that I'm under" A total independent spirit, you can't be held down or fenced in. You crave the feeling of wind on your face... and totally freedom.

What's Your Theme Song?

I'm Obsessed!

Well, I discovered this morning just how passionate I've become about my jewelry making. This morning I found myself getting ready for work in record time (a very unusual event I promise you). I've had my beads out for over a week now. Since I don't have a special room for my crafts they just sit in my living room. This became a problem this morning as I found myself sitting down to figure out which ones I wanted to wear this morning and began to bead a new one! This I did not have time for. I had to force myself to be satisfied with ones I had made previously. Wow! I just wanted to stay home and bead and be creative all day. What a bummer to actually have to come to work! However, work is how I'm currently paying for my passion/addiction so therefore staying home is not an option. I keep telling April (my sister) that I need to find a sugar daddy so I can stay home and fulfill all my creative desires without having to worry about how the bills are going to get paid. So far though I can't find a boyfriend let alone a sugar daddy. Oh, well. I digress. Needless to say I wish beading were my full time job instead of my current position. But, maybe someday that will change. I still have hope. Enjoy your day everyone. And thanks for stopping by.

In the Begining... there were beads

I'm really excited to have this opportunity to share my latest passion with all of you. For the past couple of years, I have found my creative outlet in beading. It started with earrings and quickly progressed to my favorite piece of jewelry, bracelets.

I've come to realize something about myself. I need to be able to be creative and have something to show for my work instantaneously. I find that beading is creative and quickly gratifying. I hope to be able to show you some of the beautiful things I've been able to create. Let me know what you think.

Since this site is just begining, the only photo I have at the moment is the one below. These bracelets include Pink Stone Hearts with Sterling Silver tubes. They're strung on stretchy cord for convenience and great fit. My sister commissioned these to be made for her own personal use and is now one of my walking billboards. I find this the best kind of advertising. Be sure to check out my store so you too can become one of my walking billboards. I'll also be listing in ebay, so I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for stopping by and ya'll come back now, ya' hear?
