Win yourself a handmade glass bead!

-
I'm feeling a little guilty for being so completely absent from you all for the last couple of months... the above focal bead is my way of winning your hearts back. ;) ♥ Leave me a comment and you'll go into a draw for the above bead. I will announce a winner in a week or so~ ♥
It seems my marriage has gone the way of many before me and we are now struggling with the transition of becoming single people. (Notice how I've avoided the d word? I'll tackle that one another day...:)
I've had to supplement my glass with a more regular pay cheque and my balancing time skills have been put to the test.
So...that's the reason for my sketchy, delayed, absent minded, half hearted and bemused posts lately. And while some things may be taking a back seat for a time..(for instance this blog will be lucky to get a weekly posting! although I do pop on to read all of your comments) I will find my way through this and be stronger..

Sorry to hear about your situation (I didn't say it either). Hope things work out for you and I don't mind the lack of posts since I just gaze at your lovely beads if you haven't posted in a while :)

Thanks for visiting my beady blog, and commenting on my little cloche hat! I am thrilled at the thought of being registered to win your beautiful focal. I'd best go see if I can find you shop. You seem to be someone I should know!

remember my FU "My Life" post? there are things worse than transition and "d".

take care of yourself.

"Either way it's okay, you wake up with yourself". (Billy Joel) and when you wake up remember that cool quote you had on here a couple weeks ago. :)

Gosh, that is a tough stretch to go through (been there, done that) BUT since you have your wonderful art, in the end (with your good attitude!) you surely will get stronger and things will get better. Your work is so wonderful, like Theresa, I just come here to look at your photos!!

I would LOVE to win your beautiful bead! Thank you for the chance. :)

I'm so sorry to hear about the dissolution of your marriage. I know it's hard - please take time to be good to yourself. You need to take each day as it comes and take care of you - which is the most important. We're here for you if you need anything. xx

For the love of Rocks

I come from a long line of dedicated rock hounds. I know that because my mother  told me this one day as we walked back from getting our mail in rural Port Alberni,  BC. The 10 minute walk was sometimes much longer as we searched out special  looking pebbles or of course, the'wishing stones' which on Vancouver Island were  usually granite with a skinny stripe of quartz that encircled the entire stone. My beautiful mother who we lost in July 2023. My older sister and I. We've been lucky to bring back precious [to me] earth stones from many parts of  the world.   Lake Tiberias in Israel, Persian Gulf area, Dingle, Ireland, Isle of Sky area,  Edinburgh,  and Inverness areas in Scotland, a walk back to our hotel in  Strasbourg,  France.  The Levent Valley near Malatya, Turkey sometimes referred to as the Grand  Canyons of the Anatolia. The stone in my palm almost always brings back the day.  My regret is that I didn't label the stones in some way. Regardless, all have been
