Today we poured the concrete for our IFC house. The pump truck was beautiful against the blue sky. Here it is just waiting for the concete mixers.

Here is the great big boom from the other side of the house. I call this photo industiral art. I also took on that has my hubby in it to show the scale. But I don't think he wants to be on my blog.


I have been needing to get a photo of me, but you have a hard time taking a photo of yourself. So when my son was bringing me my camera, he thougt it would be good if he took a few photos first. I cropped this one so you don't wonder which one is me. So- here I am after just rolling out of bed, throwing on clothes, and shoveling cement. The goofy look on my face is a "Yeah, I see you, would you just bring me the camera and quit playing with it." I had to delete 6 pics of the ground from Mr Snaphappy.( but he did get this rare photo)

I have more to share tomorrow. I am very tired from today and taking 5 kids skating tonight. Oh, I got news from the "Shop" and a lady bought the fork today and wants more work too. Have a blessed day, and I will post about the exciting award I recieved from Sesga and a PIF notice.

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.
