Blogger Awards

I am here to pass on a special award to five of my blogger friends, just as it was passed to me my Sesga on http://sesgaloves1950s.blogspot.com/. Thank you Sesga for giving me this opportunity to honor those who have touched my heart with their design, creativity, interesting material, and their heart.

My first award goes to Dot Lewallen at http://speediebeadie.blogspot.com/. She has connected me with some fantastic people at BAD and BDZ, and she has learned to put her heart into her beadwork (by beading things that are of personal significance). Thank you so much Dot you are such an inspiration.

My second award goes to Pat Winter at http://comfortdolls.blogspot.com/. She has encouraged women all over to make a special little doll to send to comfort battered women at shelter's all over the nation and even abroad. What a beautiful encouragement to women every where to love and upift one another. Thank you Pat, you too have become a special friend!

My third award goes to Phyllis at http://phylliskingartworks.blogspot.com/.She always emails me such encouraging comments about my blog. Even though she has been unable to get them to post, she still takes the time to email me one. What a special proofreader you are, LOL. I alway love to hear from you even if others can't read your encouraging words. Thank you, Phyllis.

My fourth award goes to Monica Magness at http://girl-gone-thread-wild.blogspot.com/. Though we have never exchanged words or emails, I have visited her blog often and am always hearing of how she has touched the lives of so many of the people I do know. You are a hero to many women, Monica.

Now the fifth and final award goes to Rosalie at http://greenbrier-rose.blogspot.com/. This lady holds a special place in my heart. She is always beating the odds of illness and coming out on top. She is blessed, talented, and loved by many. What a wonderful friend, she has a great sense of humor and a down to earth personality. Love you Rosalie.

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.
