Quick Note...

I haven't posted or made beads for a few days now - on Thursday afternoon the trainer at my daughter's school called. She got hit in the head with a softball and they thought she was showing signs of a concussion. They told me to watch her carefully. I thought with her symptoms I should take her to the doc - so on Friday that's what I did and she does have a concussion. Watch her for other signs, but no exercise for a week...she doesn't like that at all!!! But she'll be ok. Today, I think I'll finally get around to some enamel beads and more head pins, and maybe some lampwork beads as well. Depends on how I feel later - I am very tired. I myself am going through a little medical issue (girl stuff) but need to have surgery coming up soon. I'm ok, but it's on my mind a lot and it also makes me pretty tired! Hopefully we'll all be back to normal here in April. I'll post later when I have some enamel beads up!

I hope you and your daughter both get well quickly. Enameling is a great cure-all. :)

I hope that everything gets back to normal for you soon, Sue! I know what it's like to deal with issues (girl or otherwise) that just seem to drag you down...I'm hoping that we get some sort of answer for some of my issues this week...

I hope you survive the week of a daughter anxious to get back out there!

Plus, I got my April Bead Trends yesterday and LOVE your pieces! That set of glass is wonderful! Plus, I sold the set of earrings I made with the chardonnay beads. Good stuff!!

Take care. :)

Hey Sue,

Sending you that squeezy healing type of sisterly love that all ladies need once in a while!

Hope your daughter is on the mend and that you get to relax a bit and take care of yourself too! I recommend a nice soaker bath, complete with bath salts, candles, and some Harry Connick Jr. on the stereo!

P.S. If you hear a tink on the window... it's the healing fairy. I'm sending her your way to look out for you guys! ;)

the best to both you and your daughter... her injury alone - the vigilance and worry and being responsible makes a parent weak in the knees, to the bone exhausted... take care of both of you - maybe you can watch some movies together (that's my 18 yr old daughter's fav way to pass the time!!)

Hi Sue, so sorry to hear about your daughter! Thank goodness she is ok!! How scarey.
Oh, I have had my share of the medical issues, nothing serious, but still, very worrisome at the same time. Hope your daughter is back on the field soon and you on your torch.
Sharon said…
I'm praying for a speedy recovery and good health for you both! Keep us posted with your progress.

Hope your daughter is feeling better, its always a little scary when your kids are hurt. Hope you are dealing with your "girl stuff," isn't it great being a girl.
I hope the kiddo is doing better now. Concussions can be scary. Take it easy and take care of yourself. Everything else can wait a bit. Hugs!

Bead Soup Blog Party!

Welcome to the 3rd Bead Soup Blog Party! What is a Bead Soup Blog Party? Each beader was paired up with another jewelry designer and tasked with sending the following: ~ A focal ~ A special clasp (not just a lobster claw) ~ Some coordinating spacers or beads Using the focal and the clasp was mandatory, but we could use anything from our own stash to round out the rest, and choose to use the coordinating beads or not. You may recall my partner was Margot Potter ; click this link to see the blog post I wrote of what she sent me! Here's what I made! Dangly earrings! Come see what the rest of us made! 1. Lori Anderson, Pretty Things 2. Kitty Durmaj, Perles and Life 3. Michelle Heim, Life In the Bead Lane 4. Lisa Petrillo, Lucid Moon Studio 5. Anitra Gordy, Leelu Creations 6.

AE Component of the Month - July - Scarabs by Me!

I provided the scarab beads for the Component of the Month Challenge over at Art Elements for July! And as usual, didn't take a photo of my own bead before I started working with it.  But here is the one I used - unfortunately, you can't see the lustrous oil slick colors of this black metallic glass because once again we have cloudy days here in Pittsburgh. I made a choker length necklace using spiral stitch and these awesome seed beads that go so well with this black metallic glass! I used hematite swarovski crystals to divide the bead stitching and the scarab focal bead; I actually ordered a pile of pairs of various black swarovski colors and decided that these match the best! I finished off the necklace with the ball socket clasp - it's a nice way to finish a spiral stitch - the size is just right and it's fairly easy to sew into the design. Please check out what our guests and team members made with their scarabs! And thanks to everyone who took par...
