Wow. I’m so looking forward to having my back surgery next month. This past week has been particularly trying re. pain. One thing I love about beading is that it really provides a good distraction, and nobody cares how fast or slow I’m going.
My daughter Amy (who is my business manager) tells me she was contacted by a group that showcases art made by disabled individuals. They’re definitely interested! Add to that “Step By Step”s asking to do a profile on me for their May issue. It looks like we’re beginning to rock and roll… Fortunately, all I really have to do is to keep on beading. Anyway, Amy is doing this for me along with starting her own business (gauchealchemy.com), maintaining her medical practice, and coping with her daughters, aged 2 and 10.
I so love beading boxes…it requires so much on several different levels. Playing with architecture as well as design. I’m very fortunate in having my daughter-in-law Anna select my color combinations. She’s a professional photographer (liquidshutter.com) and her sense of color is leagues beyond my own.
I’m so lucky. Great kids and grandkids, not to mention in-laws, and the best husband on earth (Dennis). Good friends. Good doctors. Plus one very sweet Burmese cat (Cheops). A big screen tv and close to 10,000 dvds. Books to read, a piano to play (on my rare great days). And the joy of making boxes! I recently acquired all the new delicas Miyuki released in 2008. Oh man! What beautiful beads!! What’ll I come up with next? I can hardly wait to see!
