My passion is designing

and it is even more meaningful

when I am commissioned by a friend 

to make a piece 

for another friend.

This bracelet was gifted to one of my 

childhood friends. 

She has MS

Yet she gets up everyday thanking God

and because of her bold testimony

and the bold testimony of the giver of the gift. 

I feel so truly blessed to have been given

the privilege of designing this piece.

Thank-you my Dear beloved sisters in the Lord!

Choo Choo Hillard and Lori McIntosh

I love you both bunches and bunches!!!!!! 

 Bead Soup #8 Blog Hop, Hosted By Lori Anderson of Pretty Things

Bead Soup inspired by Cory Tompkins my wonderful partner!!!

Amazing kettle of lovely soup objects

such as:

Cory's beautiful Tealwater Designs

hand crafted polymer clay beads

Very lovely, very unique,very me!!!

Cory pushed my mind in a different direction, as I'm so a seed beader

But I realized that because of my style of teaching

I have a much broader view of what people like

My visions for such amazing pieces are getting me so outside of

My very tiny, very narrow, very limited box!!!

Thank-you Cory Tomkins!!!

Cory sent me some adorable little critters

as she called them

An Owl (he's Purple) yeah!

and a fat little birdie (also Purple) yeah!!!

Oh what fun I'm having!!!!

Can't wait for the reveal

I'm on a C R E A T I V E ROLL!!!!

LIFE IS AMAZING!!!

What I designed using beautiful pillow bead

Each participating artist was given an orphan/ooak bead created by artist Patricia Handschuh of The Color of Dreams Boutique to design with. Simply create with the bead you receive and show us your dreams!

I fell in love with the color palette of this lovely pillow bead 

This was really fun for me, I have been out of the loop for a season and now hopefully I'm back and ready to create some fun and amazing new designs. Sorry for the delay in posting today, I had one of those God appointed days. And I'm just now getting home.

Participating in The Color of Dreams Blog Hop

This Sunday! Stop by to see what I created with my beautiful bead!!!!

 Needed to make some changes in my environment, starting with moving my beads back to my basement.  I know I have lots of things I need to accomplish. But I decided I needed a clean organized work place.  where I can go and daydream, or just get out what ever I feel like playing around with and experiment. I have limited myself, in my thinking, in my dreams, in my abilities. No more!!! I have been given so much more than I could have ever asked for. So here's to living out God given dreams and doing whatever comes next! I am excited for the changes happening within me.  I am realizing I have a gift to share, love to give, friendships to honor. I am very blessed!!! And I realize I am not the only person in this life that has made mistakes. It happens. We say things, do things that we regret! But I can not let my mistakes keep me from being a better person, because hopefully I have learned and grown and become so much wiser. Today is a day to rejoice and be glad!!!!

I'm glad because I moved all my beads to the basement so I could return my dining room into a dinning room!!! Now to fill the chairs with family and friends. To have gatherings, and a place to study God's word. A place to share a meal or just have a cup of tea and some great conversation.  I want my home to be filled with love and laughter and people who see the lighter side of life. I know I can be too serious myself at times. But I really have a desire to be more and more like my Mother. She stills tells me to sit up straight, watch what I eat, don't talk with your mouth full, keep your chin up, smile it's contagious, DON'T  WORRY!!! BE HAPPY!!!!

LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO BE A SOUR GRAPE!!!
