A sad goodbye

A sad day today, my father in law Tom passed away. A real genuine man he was. He welcomed me into his family with so much love, I can never explain. I just think about the times my husband would call him up to say hello and I would be in another room giggling, because all I could hear is my husband saying "how are you?" louder "how are you?" and louder "HOW ARE YOU?" he couldn't hear a lick and would just hand the phone off to mom to interpret, it just made me chuckle every time. Tom, I am a better person to have known you and I will miss you dearly xxx............

Visit these lovely videos of him singing....

Rainy Days

UGGGHHHH This has been an exhausting end of the week. We had a terrible downpour,and got water in our basement. I think the question of the week is who DIDN'T have water in their basement. Luckily we had an old swimming pool pump and Bob quickly started to pump out the water. THANK HEAVENS IT WAS NOT SEWAGE!! All i had were clothes on the floor and baskets on the floor with clothes that I have been pondering on what to keep and what not to keep. Ended up being time to figure that out. My husband had often commented our one side of the basement looks like a Chinese Launderette. I have clothes lines and ironing boards down there. NO choice now it is getting cleaned up. I have since thrown 4 bags of clothes I no longer wear or don't fit anymore. I am fed up with "oh maybe one I will fit back into that" Ain't gonna happen girl!! If and when it does I think it will be out of fashion anyway lol. BOO HOO to all that rain...

My thoughts and prayers are with those who were not as lucky as us.

My Latest Design

While at the Bead & Button show this year, I came across these gorgeous red Whitehearts. I bought a few strands to make sure I had enough to make a couple different projects. My inspiration for these little beauties came from my cousin-in-law, Michelle, when she asked me to design her a new anklet and it had to be red and black when a creation was born. Needless to say she loved it!! I have more available on my website.

My very first post....awwww

Well here it goes. A little about me to get the party rolling.I am married to the most wonderful man in the world, my Bobby Boy. His patience and unconditional love for me is what keeps me going.I am truly blessed to have such married such a wonderful human being.

I have been beading for about 8 years now. I am completely self taught but have been shown a few tricks of the trade. I like working with wire, but am waiting patiently for my stamping kit to arrive so I can get started with that. I have also been thinking of learning the ropes to making my own beads. I'm so anxious to show off some of my wares for all of you too see and well, hopefully buy. That is the ultimate goal.
Feel free to tag along and follow me on this glorious journey. Please feel free to contact me or make any comments (I don't bite, well maybe a little RAWRR)
