Brand new Blog



This is my first blog entry and it has been a whirlwind of a day. I spent the day eating out with my boys teaching them public table manners, and grocery shopping. I went to the post office to mail out the last 6 of 12 beads for a beaded doll swap from a Delphi forum swap. Now my husband is sitting bed-side with his stepdad who just suffered a heart attack this afternoon. I am not sure if he is concious yet or not but I know he is in good hands- The Lord's! And thank you for you faithful BAD sisters for your prayers, I know that they are being heard.

I can thank Noel from BAD for kicking me in the shin to get busy on creating this blog-- Thanks Noel. It is your turn to get that esty shop going now!!!


I hope to share my faith and my life with new and old friends alike, maybe even some family will pop in from time to time. I hope you all will enjoy my company and my art.


This picture is of a painting that I am going to bead as a part of an idea I have to allow the blind to feel artwork by using beads to accent the lines and features which will also add visual appeal to the sighted. It is intitled "Son of Man" and he has a sister doll named "Hermana Del Sol" who was created as a challenge from the BAD group. I think this painting will inspire more peices as orange has become a new favorite color of mine.


More to come later, as I am still figuring out this whole blogging thing.


May you recieve the blessings that He has already given to you this day. They are there, just believe Him.

" If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him." I don't want to be shameful and I am glad it was a blessing to you. I hope it will be a blessing to many.

Beginning again.

I feel as if I am beginning again. However, I have so many things in place from when I really first began this creative journey. I am beginning again, but I am not starting from scratch. The trials of the past have given me perseverance I had not idea I possessed. I am still recovering from a major life change but I am allowing my life to become better and trying very hard to not become bitter... I am finding that I am not having to try so hard at it lately. I have hope. I have a new vision. I have wisdom to stop and pray. I have Grace. I have Mercy. And most of all, I have love. I have the love of so many sweet supporters and friends and family. People who constantly encourage me and remind me of why I create. Why I love to teach people. Why I get out of bed each morning. I have a commitment to stop and spend time with God and meditate each day with him on the creative process he has called me to. I had forgotten what peace and joy there is in that little bubble of medit...

The over the top Beaded Cogs Steampunk Style necklace I created for the Fashion Colorworks 2010 Beading Contest made it to the finals. You can go and rate the top ten from 1-5 here . Here are the fabulous photos my wonderful photographer (Thanks again BRAD!!!) took and while it was at his house his wonderful wife and president of the Dallas Bead Society got to prance around and wear it for the day. I told her she had to wear it for a whole day before she sent it home to me! He takes awesome photos!!! It wasn't the first time my beady friends have snagged it to wear for the day. One of them still claims it is a birthday gift that I haven't given to them yet. Thanks for stopping by!

Thank You

I want to thank everyone for your kind comments on "Effy' whether here or by email. I also want to thank everyone who has been encouraging me to pursue the many facets of beading as an art and a business. Who would have thought one thing could be so fulfilling in so many different facets. The result of having such encouraging friends is the developement of my very first pattern and kit. Beaded Cogs SteamPunk Style And there are four colorways. I have a limited number of kits right now but after I teach my first class I will be able to put together more. If you want more information you can leave a comment with your email and I will get back to you.
