Happy Spring!




Hi everyone!  This is my newest bead embroidered painting, it was a lot of fun!!  Every once in a while I like to go through the list of blogs I follow.  Today I realized it has been quite a while since I went through and deleted the ones that are no longer active.  Holy Cow!  I deleted over 100 blogs that have been sitting covered in dust for a long time.  I think it is time I get on the stick and keep up with things...Yes I am dreaming again. 

A lot of normal every day life going on, enjoying my grandbabies as much as I can while I finally, finally deal with some of my own health issues.  Beading steadily, just still having a hard time deciding what I want to do.  I get more discouraged with Etsy every single day and don't feel a lot of motivation to get work listed.  Yet I don't have it in me to try any other sites.  I haven't wanted to do that right along.  So I sit and ponder...I would love to start doing some in person shows like I did when I was younger and felt good but I just don't know if I am up to sitting all day at a public show even if I only do a few a year.  Still toying with the idea of a few trunk shows this summer in places I am familiar with.  I hate it when I can not make decisions.  Just think it to death!! 

Right now I am working on piles of little quick things like bracelets that I can sell really cheap to use up mountains of beads that are not good enough quality to use in my Amulet bags or my paintings.  My daughter and I are making plans for a big lawn sale where she is living, they have a town wide one every mothers day weekend.  So I am working on that , even if we don't get this accomplished during the town wide, we will still hold one during the summer months so it will be worth the effort.

Not a whole lot else going on in my world other than I am adjusting to the many changes of this past few years and while I have a lot of work to do with my health issues, I am making progress.  Hope everyone has an enjoyable spring and summer, I know I am looking forward to a few months of nice weather.
