Fast as Lightening

That's how my kids are growing!We were discussing how long we had in school this year and I commented 30 days! My husband about ran off the road. "Do realize that in 30 days both of our kids will be in high school and one of them will be a Jr.?" He gasped for air and looked like he might be sick. Time does go so fast. Here is a recent photo that Celia took of the kids, before they left our room for their bus.Do something fun today. Check out http://www.etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com/ and vote on your favorite beadwoven creation.

It Is White As I Look Out My Window

You might think that I was talking about snow....No Way!
It is the trees in full bloom that are level with the second story windows of my house!Because of the white and pink blooms on the trees the upstairs is sunglasses bright.

We are out of school this week for spring break. The weather is sort of overcast and dreary, so I'm cleaning out closets.

The Day before Easter

It is absolutely beautiful outside. The weather is fantastic, sunny, warm, a slight breeze, the flowers are starting to bloom, the trees are starting to bud and the birds are going crazy!!!Tomorrow is Easter but we are going to church tonight. Our church offers about 8 different services so we choose Saturday night.

Jewelry designed with Beautiful words

Forgiven is not a word that we generally use in our every day life.
It is a very freeing word.
It is a word of hope, of freedom, of new beginnings.This is a powerful word, a burst of energy and redemption.

The basis for this unique necklace is the word "forgiven"

I tried to capture the emotions of the word by the colors that used in the bead work.

The pendant was created using the peyote stitch and bead embroidery.

Enjoy!
