~Time For Fall~


Time doesn't stand still for seasons
Be it spring, summer, fall or winter
Changes are made for all reasons
Now it depends upon the dweller.



Summer is over -

Fall is settling in



I have a few items of summer left over if anyone is interested.

Necklaces in brillant summer colors -

Painted shells of yellows and lavenders and pinks

Rainbow beads - seperated with crystal spacers.






Tropical colors -
Carribean blue - cream colors of beads
accented by pale gold crystal spacers.





These items are among lots of summer items that
are now ready for a new home.
*************************
Furnace Beads are one of my favorites to work with
blending colors with colors within the beads is fun!
In fact my granddaughter, Kiara is getting very good at
picking out colors of beads for me! Below are three she helped with.


She named this one "Halloween"

"Santa Claus"

"Winter"

Let us know what you think - would really love a comment or two!

The Workplace:


~My workplace is at home - my room, my place, my mind~
In this room my computer is here for writing when a poem
crosses my mind or when I am making websites. Am sure
you know by now my passion is jewelry making and
writing. These are two hobbies I love; but not as much as
my family! My babies are everything to me - I want to spend
as much time as I can with them before I get too old!



My first great-grandchild, Kenzie - she is with me
three days a week. I really miss her when she isn't here.
A complete delight to spend the day with - she is my
other little model. And of course, this is her favorite necklace.
She usually cries for it, so I made her one with big beads.



~This is Kenzie very own necklace -
She is cutting her teeth with these! ~
Am making my other two babies a teething necklace.
It is important that all of them are treated the same.
A favorite bracelet I made:

I call this bracelet - "Retro" - love the colors
of lime-green, red-orange and blue with
a touch of white... It so reminds me
of the 1950's. One of Grandma's apron had
these colors in them.
*******************************

As a poet, I have to write in a quiet place - when it is
serene and peaceful makes words flow so quickly from my mind.
As a beader, I am sure I could bead almost anywhere as long as I
am not bothered. Too many hands make things difficult. Being
left-handed, it is so hard to teach someone how to do crafts. I've
always been told I do things backwards - I laugh and tell them
"I do it my way!"

My card will take you to 'My Creations'
