Bursting with Creative Excitement

Happy Halloween everyone! Just a short post today. Lately I have been dreaming about jewellery. Bracelets in particular. I have ordered supplies and will soon be releasing a new line that I am soooo excited about. It will be different from anything else I have made. They will be big and bold. Stay tuned, they should be ready to go in about 2 weeks....

This is Heaven

I think that right now I am exactly where I need to be in life. My business is going well, I am getting my health in order (facing things that I had been hiding from for a while) and my family is happy and well. Today I was looking at this thing where you randomly choose a card which gives you a supposed lucky number, colour and a little statement that is supposed to be geared for you. Of course it could all be a boat load but everything that I got totally did seem to fit. I got a shimmering, sparkling soft red for the colour (love!), the number 5 (which has always been my favourite) and the statement was "stop doubting, stop searching. you are right where you should be. this is heaven" Well who am I to argue with such a statement? I'll take it! Some times this does indeed feel like Heaven.

Unexpected Inspiration

Steve Jobs passed away yesterday. Until I heard about it on the news and saw it on facebook I didn't pay much mind to who he was. I knew vague things about his past, including his involvement with Apple. I knew he recently retired and that was about it. Obviously many other people knew much more about him and were deeply saddened by his death. Because of all of this, I have learned so much more about this man. I have read his quotes and become aware of his opinions. He was truly amazing in both his accomplishments and how he inspired others. I can now say that I am one of those people inspired but his words. I found a lot of meaning and understanding in what he said. I am less afraid today to follow my gut and I feel more confident in trusting myself. Steve Jobs was a true inspiration. I am sad that he is gone and sad that I didn't learn more about him while he was alive,

My Studio

Eight years ago we moved into this house. The spare room upstairs once housed all of my husband's spare "crap". It was then our dog's bedroom and for a short while it was a guest bedroom. Through out all of those years I never spent a lot of time in that room but now it is the birth place for all of my designs and the place where I spend my quality alone time. I have filled it with gorgeous things that I love and of course my wicked bead collection. Today I was thinking bcak on all of those years when that room really meant nothing to me. I had no idea what it would become or how much I would grow to love it!
