Still not done!

My cousin's dear daughter called me today. She is one of my special children! She is a college student and calls me from time to time. I am younger than her mom and older than she is with a lot of experience under my belt. She is a bright young lady and I have told her before that I wished she had been my daughter- or that if I had one, I would want my child to be like her. I told her of my new blog and she went to it right away. I mentioned from one of my posts that I haven't had time to make anything today either. She told me that I did make something today. "You made me happy," she said. What a sweet girl, I love to hear how intellegent she is and how the Lord continues to lead her. So todays post is for her ( I know she will be reading this soon.)


RAOK received today from Sandi @ ATC connection- titled " I love orange" on the envelope she wrote "to my orange diva twin"
Magic Carpet beginings themes- Floral Fantasy for the B.D.Z. group
Puzzle Piece Doll Challenge progress pics for B.A.D.

Here are the corset ATCs that I am not so happy with. Not exactly what I planned. I am going to do a few more that are different. Hope you enjoyed the many "in progress" photos as they are STILL NOT DONE. Have a blessed day.

Hey, Ralonda,

I just saw your puzzle doll on the BAD site. I really like the idea of the puzzle dolls. I joined the group and am looking forward to playing with dolls again. Of course my BFAC doll has priority.

Beginning again.

Image
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

Image
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.
