September is one of my most favorite months of the year and today, being the first of September, was a great reminder of why I love this month so much. The air was dry, the temperature was mild and I could actually work in my garden this morning without developing sticky haze on my skin. I’ve promised myself that I would take advantage of each and every beautiful day that September has to offer.
I’m still behind on a lot of things, but I did find time to mop my floors and wash the wee yorkies. They no longer smell like feet, so we are a happy family again. My time is becoming less limited each day, and I do expect to be listing some bead sets and focals in my store within the next few days. (REALLY! I mean it!) I think I might have a small set and a focal to list tomorrow, if they turn out okay.
I’ve had quite a response to the finished pieces that I’ve listed over the past month. A heartfelt thank you goes out to each of you who have purchase or expressed interest in them. Your encouragement has been great for my soul. I’ve really enjoyed putting the pieces together. I don’t know about you gals, but there’s just something about holding those sparkling little components in the palm of your hand that feels soothing and satisfying. I have a few new pieces, if anyone is interested in pre assembled bling!
Okay, so my next post will be about new loose beads. . . See you all very soon!

Hello Again,
Do you feel you are getting your life back? I hope things are returning to normal.
You are producing such beautiful little jewels. Thank you for rising above and continuing. You have such a gift.
Hugs,
Tena

Mona, Janie and Tena, thank you for the compliments!
Tena, yes, I am actually doing much better these days. I realized that my happiness is just that. It’s mine. Ullja simply doesn’t have the power to change the beautiful and content world that I live in. I am the one in control of my life. She has no place in my heart or my world and that being the case, she’s totally powerless. I am hoping that each person she pursues will quickly come to that same realization. In doing so, she gets absolutely NOTHING out of this but an even more tarnished reputation.
I hope you and yours are also doing well!

You are so right. When a bad person intentionally attacks us the shock of the cruelty is part of why we get derailed I think.
Your life is a precious thing, and your art is a gift to humanity. Who knows how many generations will treasure what you are doing.
Blessings on your head, and onward and upward!

Thanks honey, for a wonderful vacation with you and beautiful husband Mark…we had such a good time and want to thank you for the tour of your workshop. You truly are a talent and inspiration to many, especially to those of us who love you. Keep up the good work, the beautiful beads and loving care you give to the rest of us. Love, your mother-in-law, Judy

Judy, the pleasure was all ours. I only wish that we could have had more time with you and Johnny.
