It has been a while since my last update.
The stormy weather is back in more ways than one but there are rays of happy sunshine in my midst as well. We have had a lot of company come in town for summer visits so my beading time has been very limited. While it is always fun and entertaining to see old friends, I have moments of yearning for the torch but that makes it all the more special when I finally DO get to sit down and melt some glass!
As with the storms moving in the last few days, I got another call yesterday that hurt my heart. Yet another dear friend who is in the midst of a serious illness. It pains my heart so to see so many friends going through the trials if an illness and I always feel completely helpless in what I can really DO for them other than Look Up and while that is mighty powerful as a human I feel the need to DO more. So I melt and Look Up hoping there will be an idea of what I can do to help make things better for those who are going through so much. Many beads have been born from my thoughts wandering to those I love and care about.
I did finish the Coffee & Cream set and I really like how it turned out. I should have used a darker background but the rock matched the set perfectly and I was out of time since the sun was going down.
It is currently for sale in my shop and I will miss it when it sells.
The Golden Shadow Swarovski crystals, Eggshell Charlotte and Mother of Pearl beads really set the colors of my glass beads off. The sparkles are always hard to catch but it does sparkle!
Well thats all for now as I head back to the torch.
I wish you peace, love and health!
Keep Looking Up!

Hello Bead Girl!
Your coffee and cream set came out so beautiful! They will look fabulous on someone with a nice tan. Sorry we didn't get together Saturday; I started the day out with a bad headache (from allergies I'm sure) but it finally passed by noon. I did get out into my "studio" and work on my new torch - I had a blast!! (Ooops! No pun intended!!) Wait 'til you see what I did with the Double Helix Terra! I got some fabulous color out of it - so fun!
I never did get with Jolee about us all getting together. Since I didn't start the day off feeling so great I decided to wait for another day. Hope we can manage it soon - I miss you both!!
Keep up the great beading and the awesome blogsite - I enjoy visiting every chance I get!!
XOXO
