Creative nap

I have had alot to keep up with lately so I think I have been on a creative nap so to speak. I have made several doll forms to send to other beaders, but not much else. I started the mermaid and.... I am not satisfied. I keep telling myself to keep going she will love it but... I just don't want to look at it! I think I will begin again, Mr Finigin. I have even drawn up several sketches for the BFAC project, and was pleased with them...at first. If I wasn't so hard to please, I could breeze thru them all! I have just decided to take a lil break and work on something else.--- Like CLEANING! LOL Now that my house is clean for a little while, maybe I will get into a creative gear. I can sense something awakening, like an "AHA" moment coming.

I spoke with Rosalie this morning and had a great time. Thanks for the fellowship dear!

I had wanted to show you some photos of the spoons I finished, but my USB cable in not computing! GRRR.. technology. Guess I am going to have to buy a new one so my camera will moonlight with my computer.

I have been blessed with some quiet moments today and tomorrow is no school and no one is coming over- so I may get some real meditation time! If you don't take time to meditate on His word, it is hard to keep a good attitude. I have seen mine slipping lately so it is time to dig deeper in the Word!
Have a blessed day!

Sometimes we need that break to renew our muse. No matter how hard it is for me to bead, I never take it out on housecleaning. Yuck! No domestic diva here. LOL

Hope that AHA comes soon.

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.
