I'm playing catch up with all my journal entries. I have been faithfully beading along each month. I haven't had a chance to post anything in so long. It's been a long year transitioning from the middle school to the high school with my student. I actually like it at the high school.
I decided that this year I would do flowers instead of pages. I've already done 5x7 , 4 inch circles, angels and 2 inch pins. I've always wanted to have a vase of beaded flowers but haven't had time. So I have made time! My first attempt was a wire daisy. I decided after I did it that either my hands don't work like they used to or maybe I should try a different wire. So instead I pulled out The Beaded Garden by Diane Fitzgerald. I'm picking and choosing which flower feels right for the month. Hope you enjoy them!heidibeadshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008121382875319764noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606911118075400615.post-84493982412307031692012-05-19T14:21:00.001-04:002012-05-19T14:21:11.543-04:00May

I was behind as of June. School endend and I went to town. I was afraid that I would be behind again when school started and I was on a roll and had some creative energy flowing so I finished my "Pages". They are approximately 3" circles, I've put pins on the back and given one away, the others will be gifts for certain people. The object of this year was to use only supplies I had on hand; fabric, pinbacks and beads. I used mainly 15s with 11s on the outside on all of them. I had all except the cat for main focal pieces.
<br />
<br />This year started when I was sitting in class with my student and the english teacher was very much into the peace sign. He was so good to my student that I decided that I would make him a pin. He wore it every day from January to June! Then I just picked up a focal pieces and beaded. So here they all are:

November has been done for awhile but never posted. November is gold and December is copper. Once again I need to thank my good friend Miss Patty for the fabric for the backgrounds. I have never bought gold and certainly never seen copper fabric. They look much better in person, color wise anyway. I started the year off trying to be more creative and ended the year just being bored. It might just be the colors and not having enought to play with, I'm not sure but I think for next year, I'll learn some new stitches. I think that will be my goal for the year. I don't have much to write about, I can say that I'm glad I have finished another year of beading and am excited to start the new year. I'm always glad to pick up the bead embroidery because it is so meditative. It's just plain good for my spirit. I should do it more! January brings new beginnings and I'm gonna take it. Let's see what this year brings! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Let's start fresh.heidibeadshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008121382875319764noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606911118075400615.post-71894449251502126502010-11-14T14:59:00.003-05:002010-11-14T15:12:28.143-05:00October BJP<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtYGSdeVRKvs8mjIZXPOJ-swQLB_KqWvb_Q7xV3RKHuNuGr8Z3hckxV9QjaCcvy2xxJs8tyHqyxLggiPm8Tr5qjWFm3qxJyON9pqgiCxMYAdsftDYkYEdlii4OHWdGNiOnNhCYKICGDSs/s1600/October+bjp.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 241px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtYGSdeVRKvs8mjIZXPOJ-swQLB_KqWvb_Q7xV3RKHuNuGr8Z3hckxV9QjaCcvy2xxJs8tyHqyxLggiPm8Tr5qjWFm3qxJyON9pqgiCxMYAdsftDYkYEdlii4OHWdGNiOnNhCYKICGDSs/s320/October+bjp.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539497797211735938" /></a><br /><br /><br />I'm catching up! Only one month behind and I started it last night! Here's October, I just realized it's orange and it's kind of a fally color, so that's about as close as I can get to explaining this. I started the year off trying to do one angel a month, using a different color each month. Orange was next! I have a hard time with orange, I never really liked it but I'm getting closer. I can't believe I actually had that many different orange beads. My idea at the beginning of the year was to not buy any beads or fabric. I've done that so far. The next two months, I had to beg a friend (Miss Patty) for a scrap of fabric for the backing of each. She's an awesome artist in many media. I knew she'd have gold and copper. So now you know my next two month's colors. <br /><br />As I've said in previous posts, my job as a para in the middle school here in town is draining. I am lucky I have a wonderful student to work with. This student does keep my on my toes.<br /><br />Along with that, I have a almost 15 year old who is just blossoming in high school. I have the mom taxi up and running even more than ever. My schedule revolves around his, but that's ok. I realized I don't have too much more time with him before he goes off to college and really grows up. It's kind of scary. I'm enjoying the heck out of him while I have him. It goes so fast.<br /><br />So my time is limited but I will finish and on time, I'm bound and determined!<br /><br />I hope everyone is staying healthy and happy.heidibeadshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008121382875319764noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606911118075400615.post-31487255116158652912010-11-07T20:16:00.003-05:002010-11-07T20:25:12.168-05:00September 2010<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwx1Rqh3Xl23VNWe-I3hPFSMIgKkl87e7kM1QNmqkBX9C0QD3vMhS_A_xwUROHwQAIBDAZyhWt74F5aq3nU0iAOYJ-kRt3oLRgM0dtqpTJixYgw_wb4ND19eywZzGU6PIVUZILxJFa584/s1600/September.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwx1Rqh3Xl23VNWe-I3hPFSMIgKkl87e7kM1QNmqkBX9C0QD3vMhS_A_xwUROHwQAIBDAZyhWt74F5aq3nU0iAOYJ-kRt3oLRgM0dtqpTJixYgw_wb4ND19eywZzGU6PIVUZILxJFa584/s320/September.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536983766307007010" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Wow, where has the time gone? With school starting and my son's schedule, who has time for the computer. I have been beading and I just found that I didn't post September's page, so here it is. October and November are almost done so they'll be up soon, too. I can't believe that our third year is coming to a close. It seems like we just started. January starts a new year. What shape will I use then or will I do something totally different. I've visited everyone's pages and wow there are some great ideas. Maybe I'll pick one of them! I have no idea why september is white, I guess it was the color I had on hand at the time. I'm trying to use the beads that I have and not buy any for now. Same with the fabric. I'm trying to thin out the stash of stuff. My local bead store has moved and I haven't even been in it and it's been since August. That's a bit scary, I think. Things are going well here. My by at school is a joker but I've seen some really big improvements since last school year. My son continues to grow like a week. He tested for his <br />3rd degree black belt yesterday, it was an 8 hour test and he did AWESOME. We are so proud of him and he is too (which is even better). I've been reading lots and enjoying the heck out of it. Will post soon the rest of the year maybe!heidibeadshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008121382875319764noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606911118075400615.post-33886537629246385262010-08-14T15:07:00.004-04:002010-08-14T16:16:24.405-04:00August BJP<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi547ZcrZd5crGXc4lTyw-kuzhyS07KB-GQRqBO1vbmwte1Y3HHwQxzn4DbW5qlgOFiwxpzh0mKYpfb0uWcop-1a7DzKVa58FMTr89XA0W184p1cvN7tT7vCx_Oej3qGBikOtIdIMBqQQo/s1600/August+2010.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi547ZcrZd5crGXc4lTyw-kuzhyS07KB-GQRqBO1vbmwte1Y3HHwQxzn4DbW5qlgOFiwxpzh0mKYpfb0uWcop-1a7DzKVa58FMTr89XA0W184p1cvN7tT7vCx_Oej3qGBikOtIdIMBqQQo/s320/August+2010.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505344430988514706" /></a><br /><br /><br />August is here and half way over. School starts for me in 2 weeks (from yesterday), personal development days. They just passed a new and improved budget for the BOE here in town. First, we're closing an elementary school and now we're not. So, we just found out that there will be lots of layoffs instead. I guess I'll know within the next two weeks if I've been cut. I think I should be ok but I'm close. Hopefully, we had a lot of retirements and people quitting. <br /><br />We're off to New Hampshire tomorrow. Our first real vacation in 10 years! Where did the time go? JT was just 4 last time and didn't understand what a vacation was. Now, I'm not even sure he wants to go! :) <br /><br />Thought I'd post up August's page before we went and I forgot I even did it. It's actually silver. Not sure if you can tell from the picture. Fabric is blue but all the beads are silver. The flow of the fabric just called for the flow of the beads. It was simple but it was very mindless - I mean meditative. I'm thinking white for September. Then orange, copper, gold maybe.<br /><br />I've been snooping and lurking on the blogs and I love what everyone is doing.

Actually, I finished this in July while my son was at camp. It turned out to be a wonderfully quiet and productive beading and reading week. July is supposed to be irridescent. The fabric is kind of a etheral piece of fabric that I fell in love with. It didn't not turn out as I had planned but then again, nothing ever does. It actually started with 7 beads going down the center (including the heart of course) I thought "these are the seven chakras" and it took on a mind of it's own. It was a pleasant week but I missed my boy very much and was glad to get him back, all the dirt included!heidibeadshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008121382875319764noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606911118075400615.post-22429843348278289102010-07-12T09:17:00.002-04:002010-07-12T09:23:47.481-04:00June BJP<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZDXr9Y731rLOpEZZmki-dK4qwiGrceAJmLoGUAuCqHdqIOYsGGiztenungk1Kh2Vo_69WYuMRrJjSeg6lFIGm8a1LRdgCnhFhuUxTelyVBjaN9tqsdZ0EiU2BTGZVdsE1MnGXoVt8SZM/s1600/June+2010.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZDXr9Y731rLOpEZZmki-dK4qwiGrceAJmLoGUAuCqHdqIOYsGGiztenungk1Kh2Vo_69WYuMRrJjSeg6lFIGm8a1LRdgCnhFhuUxTelyVBjaN9tqsdZ0EiU2BTGZVdsE1MnGXoVt8SZM/s320/June+2010.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493008346035081346" /></a><br /><br /><br />Where does the time go? School is out and I welcome some time off. Time to be creative and time to read and time to spend with friends. Now my mind is there but my body isn't quite up to some of the tasks. It's pretty bad when you have to force yourself to do something you love. That's how it is. Anyway, June's page is done and I have actually started July. We dropped our son off at Boy Scout camp yesterday and I have the whole week during the day to myself. What to do, what to do. I want to do so much but then again, I don't. Anyone ever feel like this?

We just got out of school late last week. Those snow days sure do eat up our summer vacation. It is nice to not have to go in every day. I was lucky the second half of the year to work with a very funny autisitc boy and as it stands right now, I'll have him next year, too. Ya me! It's very hot and humid today, upper 90s and we decided that we would stay in today, so out came the beads and I finished up my May page. It sure is YELLOW! Not one of my favorite colors but that's ok. I'm still one month behind but that's ok. I'm not presuring myself, I'll get the year done just like the last 2 years. I still don't believe that we're like half way through the year! Where did this year go? I think it has speeded by because I've had my head buried in a lot of books. I am enjoying reading again. My mother is probably laughing at me because as a child, I hated to read and I was the world's slowest reader, now, I am much faster and love it. I can go through 3, 4 or more books in a week. I think I'll get a library card,it's costing me way too much for this great hobby. lol!!!heidibeadshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008121382875319764noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606911118075400615.post-59310894363612734242010-04-20T12:09:00.003-04:002010-04-20T12:14:29.071-04:00April BJP<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdf8XEIlvQ_7r9flbRy44J2OGTJHXe-7QpgkNQyIK7z__rz8p63l-l7OH345vYdA4PF76fMwpap_o2OlClRhGvGe8rXBB-NTU7WwhH6FNNq1GJDqYVetRPbCByknRj91xOQBF8qC1qMSA/s1600/April.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdf8XEIlvQ_7r9flbRy44J2OGTJHXe-7QpgkNQyIK7z__rz8p63l-l7OH345vYdA4PF76fMwpap_o2OlClRhGvGe8rXBB-NTU7WwhH6FNNq1GJDqYVetRPbCByknRj91xOQBF8qC1qMSA/s320/April.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462252645674053122" /></a><br /><br />I was fortunate enough to spend a whole day with some arty friends of mine and got to finish my April Angel up.

Some things take time as we all know, things do not happen in "my time". I've come back to html instead of pictures above in the post view. January is Blue, February is Pink, March is of course Green!<br /><br /><br /> It's been an interesting beginning of 2010. I lost my student that I started the year off with. I knew it was happening and so bid fr another position. Lucky me, she left one day and I started working with a autistic boy the next, same school and everything. This made me happy. I love the hours for middle school. Can't say I love the kids, with their hormones raging and their attitidues testing and those who don't have real "families" hurting. It's sad but my boy has turned out to be a dream. He's high functioning and surprises me with some of the things he grasps. Sometimes I have to remind myself that he is autistic. I'm lucky. (oh, my son is in the same school!, what a trip!!:)<br /><br />I have January February and March journal pages to present. Not much to write about them except that they are done, I don't know how they come about except that I have the original outline and I want each of them to have a heart after that, I have no real idea what will happen. I just put one bead down and then another (Thanks Robin!)<br /><br />I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and I'm not happy about this, I have been fighting this diagnoses for 14 years. I have finally accepted it and have moved on. I'm taking a lot of yucky drugs which I'm not happy about. It seems that my old 3:00 in the afternoon rest period has extended itself to 2 or 3 hours on some day. I find I miss a lot of the weekends resting. I have a new rheumatologist and have decided that I don't like her so I have to find a new one. At least one with a sense of humor and one who tells me that my side affects are real insead of saying, that can't possibly be happening! Yeah right lady, live in my body. <br /><br />I start a new program tomorrow, unrelated to my doctors drugs. I am taking sugar and flower and salicyclates out of my diet and toiletries. And adding guiafenesn (sp). We'll see. I can't see covering up my symptems is of any use.<br /><br />Sorry for venting. I guess I needed to get that out.<br /><br />So I guess, my theme of angels this year is to watch over me and get me through this stuff.<br /><br />I thank you all for your beautiful posts, I've been able to view a few. You are all such inspiration.<br /><br />Happy Easter, Happy Spring to you all.heidibeadshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008121382875319764noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606911118075400615.post-19951028713003413432009-08-30T10:53:00.004-04:002009-08-30T11:03:59.580-04:00June, July and August BJP<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwZqLmWX_kV2Kf0TVGrxhWGfT3GDIFyi4hyphenhyphenVpuOfcNZUFipe4oNcpWlXwNr1pt82TefRtYy98Bn4IsvhLxFoIWJzIuQ_AHVaJ1g9DI6Qq2KRojNhQk7FmXnUuzgYQ8GL7un05i9EqjG1w/s1600-h/August+2009.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375770559359727874" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 311px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwZqLmWX_kV2Kf0TVGrxhWGfT3GDIFyi4hyphenhyphenVpuOfcNZUFipe4oNcpWlXwNr1pt82TefRtYy98Bn4IsvhLxFoIWJzIuQ_AHVaJ1g9DI6Qq2KRojNhQk7FmXnUuzgYQ8GL7un05i9EqjG1w/s320/August+2009.jpg" border="0" /></a> August 2009<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS9hLKJkGGzOGkVFNZ0rxBVCgf23zfxGe1hYmPROvTlmoK6FT4FrKdyZDG97TI4wbkY_lQGk6ErXCauBRbkup99WD3Y1Smtei6O-YqCtW9OmtdYjY9nBG8xvxJOqqGtv9pdYLzIxtiZgM/s1600-h/July+2009.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375770553146598370" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 307px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS9hLKJkGGzOGkVFNZ0rxBVCgf23zfxGe1hYmPROvTlmoK6FT4FrKdyZDG97TI4wbkY_lQGk6ErXCauBRbkup99WD3Y1Smtei6O-YqCtW9OmtdYjY9nBG8xvxJOqqGtv9pdYLzIxtiZgM/s320/July+2009.jpg" border="0" /></a> July 2009<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn2eyQwZWtwgu5Bo5Jx9zIQUoeXToA1pwMTiomQ2GIMCfoBxXrm7v-X875Zbr1cmcDyGMmkMf_ONBMaZ0T1cyN7Xepd7sBQoL7P5RVsbTJSLjI5XLQNGpTlnSzR9a8gurZGiL9qmw7ubQ/s1600-h/June+2009.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375770547991896306" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 289px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn2eyQwZWtwgu5Bo5Jx9zIQUoeXToA1pwMTiomQ2GIMCfoBxXrm7v-X875Zbr1cmcDyGMmkMf_ONBMaZ0T1cyN7Xepd7sBQoL7P5RVsbTJSLjI5XLQNGpTlnSzR9a8gurZGiL9qmw7ubQ/s320/June+2009.jpg" border="0" /></a> June 2009</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Well, my computer went on "vacation" right after my last post. I can't believe I survived all that time without a computer. I missed a lot and will need to take time to visit the main blog for everyone's works of art! Let's see, school finished, I worked summer school in the autism group. My boy that I was working with got sent back to his home school without a para, so I spent the entire summer bidding on positions. Of course, seniority reigns and I was one of the last to get a job but got one. I'm moving on up to 8th grade this year but as a tutor. Less hours, more money - I win! Maybe I'll even have time to bead this year. Besides that, my son spent lots of time at his TaeKwonDo and lots of biking and hiking and camping. I had a wonderful weekend with son and hubby away. It was so nice and quiet and I could do what I wanted - beading and not feel guilty. I've been finished since the beginning of the month so I'm proud that I finished another year on time! That says a lot for me. So it was a long a stressful summer and it's just about to end. School starts on Tuesday - did I mention that my son is in the same school and same grade! He promised me that I wouldn't embarass him in the hall way - can you even imagine! Looking forward to another year, will have to decide on size and all that but for now, I think I'll work on holiday and birthday presents and get a jump on things. <br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div>heidibeadshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008121382875319764noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606911118075400615.post-76811137409942333982009-07-15T16:43:00.004-04:002009-07-15T16:56:25.058-04:00May Paths<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXdS0KJnwIpSXstR0T9Nhh6AXuEnA6Lf3TAu4ov1Wf76hGmw-pn2SgtT3SamHqWdbayd0222A8WqgRHfD01qhngAwlba_DlDpnTM_BRnKCGvH6T2NnAbZDwublkmHGS2ZDQFBHOPYGiqI/s1600-h/May+2009.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358790477609379250" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 316px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXdS0KJnwIpSXstR0T9Nhh6AXuEnA6Lf3TAu4ov1Wf76hGmw-pn2SgtT3SamHqWdbayd0222A8WqgRHfD01qhngAwlba_DlDpnTM_BRnKCGvH6T2NnAbZDwublkmHGS2ZDQFBHOPYGiqI/s320/May+2009.jpg" border="0" /></a> Here's my May page! So, I'm only 2 months behind. Not too bad! Right? Working is putting such a damper on my beading, along with the carpal tunnel that is really acting up. Just had the nerve test done for it and so far no nerve damage so that makes me really happy. I have a doctor visit on Monday to see what I'm supposed to do. Wearing a brace 24/7 helps but it sure slows things down. It hasn't stopped me though so that's a good thing. Other than work and running around with my son, not much happens here. Summer school is going well, only 2 weeks left after this one! The weather here has just turned for the better! We had a very soggy spring and now the sun is shinning and my flowers are blooming and everything looks beautiful. This page turned out totally different from what I saw in my head to begin with. I started with the cab and took my colors from there. If you look closely, you'll see that it is kind of geometric itself. It's purple and sage green, have no clue what it is, next time I'm at the store I'll ask. I liked it because of the striations in it. I used size 6, 8, 15s and delicas.<br /><div></div>heidibeadshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008121382875319764noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606911118075400615.post-37926441926847071772009-06-28T11:34:00.004-04:002009-06-28T11:42:51.298-04:00April 2009<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDjKwV24s2f8ewyih3jqLghssqjd7CV91UFVT3uP_iU4CPIWOlp3cTzUvyk0BNOYx2RTo4YL4yhgbuLke3Mc_bpMRzCF-q5_4xrpuBq7wxQg8U4oxeJLGDnKJgMp8UZHh0zEFdk5wtEiM/s1600-h/April+2009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352403980633631122" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDjKwV24s2f8ewyih3jqLghssqjd7CV91UFVT3uP_iU4CPIWOlp3cTzUvyk0BNOYx2RTo4YL4yhgbuLke3Mc_bpMRzCF-q5_4xrpuBq7wxQg8U4oxeJLGDnKJgMp8UZHh0zEFdk5wtEiM/s320/April+2009.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I can't believe it's almost July! Here is my April page. I'm not sure but I think the reason the page took so long is the color, they are actually golds (not a great picture). Not one of my favorites but I'm trying to stretch myself. Hard to believe that I use to not like orange! This one doesn't speak to me much. It was a long time coming. Any way, it could be that I didn't have a moment between work and 5 days with my son after school at TaeKwonDo and boy scouts when the time permitted, I slept! I'm not complaining. I'm glad this piece is done and I've picked out my next set of beads which will be another stretch for me but we'll see. School is out for now, summer school starts on Wednesday for the month of July but only Monday thru Thurs and half days so that's not too bad. I'll surely get some beading done. I've also taken up reading again. I've been plowing through lots of great books, some my son's some my own but I do enjoy it. I hope everyone is safe from the bad weather and enjoying some sunshine. We had a beautiful day yesterday after a hugh thunderstorm came through. It was so worth the storm.</div>heidibeadshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008121382875319764noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606911118075400615.post-2541660732439130162009-03-22T16:53:00.002-04:002009-03-22T17:02:20.398-04:00March BJP<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzVVtkBXReaGvwwjMW8U3XgPmNInfvO3EY5chyyudH3FhWvMPT9wbQrpswKEfnyq3Vi5XbMT71KRVhFSoIzGuzhmXC-t-5dUEuDaRx-F6s7Y1l0ivsBiBhAumUn1rB1bg0e709OAsMvNM/s1600-h/March.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316118233361677474" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzVVtkBXReaGvwwjMW8U3XgPmNInfvO3EY5chyyudH3FhWvMPT9wbQrpswKEfnyq3Vi5XbMT71KRVhFSoIzGuzhmXC-t-5dUEuDaRx-F6s7Y1l0ivsBiBhAumUn1rB1bg0e709OAsMvNM/s320/March.jpg" border="0" /></a> Well, here's my March BJP. My only thought for this was green. I started with a green cat's eye cab and some flower beads and then there was no thought at all. I don't know which way is up or down so if you want to tilt your head either way and decide for me - that's cool. My mother always laughed at me when I said I don't like green and then I'd go and pick out green material for a quilt or a green something or other. Well, I guess this month I don't like green. Sorry to all you St. Patty Day fans. It's been a very busy month with my new job and learning all kinds of new things about autistic kids. Maybe this piece says I'm tired. Not sure - maybe someone out there can figure it out or not! No biggy. I still enjoyed putting bead and thread and needle to fabric so that's the good thing. <br /><br />Spring, we think, has come to Connecticut. I have a daffodil in bloom in my window well and the crocus are about to pop! It was 50 today with a little sun. We got to hang out our clothes to dry and that's always a good thing. The days are staying light until after 7:00, so it feels like spring! Hope for a little warmer weather and some more sunshine!heidibeadshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008121382875319764noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606911118075400615.post-50347121079895746702009-02-20T13:08:00.005-05:002009-02-20T13:13:53.587-05:00Thank You CC<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq2G691inwOaMpEF4sea4Z1EGUbWP2-YzwuElOUDyhoG4KkDW1PgXgE9_bx5kh-ROUdVv9OyJv47KP1BtDfI7sT3YCHlJMtnhC0BQ5vHuI-RjLi5O2qhkQn4W7CCvYCxGfMxjsA-fiv1w/s1600-h/CC's+Doll+Front.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304943697474677250" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq2G691inwOaMpEF4sea4Z1EGUbWP2-YzwuElOUDyhoG4KkDW1PgXgE9_bx5kh-ROUdVv9OyJv47KP1BtDfI7sT3YCHlJMtnhC0BQ5vHuI-RjLi5O2qhkQn4W7CCvYCxGfMxjsA-fiv1w/s320/CC's+Doll+Front.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL7pCyAHykpTTnsRhXGav8QOq6pR-yG3uknilr5u_UedguHmgoZJLrSRb1wp6tsZfyA2HYjATVWeCOxGzJjv_bVhvSQ8c3V0nMq0xxATMU9YHgRgyz2eSyKK3wm0TYJtwTy0obEjN0BIc/s1600-h/CC's+Doll+Back.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304943786868326786" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL7pCyAHykpTTnsRhXGav8QOq6pR-yG3uknilr5u_UedguHmgoZJLrSRb1wp6tsZfyA2HYjATVWeCOxGzJjv_bVhvSQ8c3V0nMq0xxATMU9YHgRgyz2eSyKK3wm0TYJtwTy0obEjN0BIc/s320/CC's+Doll+Back.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZIYTsRoXf0Ly9o92L2l3-GL1kE2dcuDK7KMG2KBKIjx9O01YlV1I-onb-N76oJ5Y5kWiWr4Msjy6gKAIB4UaZIJdu87gKfbRqrMZOkXNS7PkSpCaEEUpmMLZNsgyEtz-nBvQIZD6qnVM/s1600-h/P1010106.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304943990649072386" style="WIDTH: 190px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 187px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZIYTsRoXf0Ly9o92L2l3-GL1kE2dcuDK7KMG2KBKIjx9O01YlV1I-onb-N76oJ5Y5kWiWr4Msjy6gKAIB4UaZIJdu87gKfbRqrMZOkXNS7PkSpCaEEUpmMLZNsgyEtz-nBvQIZD6qnVM/s320/P1010106.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Look what came in the mail - I have to admit that it came about a week ago and this is the first chance I have had to put it up on the web.

The colors make me think of being cold. While I was working on this, it actually told me to stop. I did get to a place where I didn't know what to do so, I listened and stopped beading. Most of my other months are totally encrusted but this month - oh well. I do like the fabric so maybe that had something to do with it. It was a cold month with lots of ice and snow. It continued this week with another 5 inches of snow paced down with a couple inches of freezing rain, then rain then very cold temps that froze everything over. Everything was just plain icy. I am a lucky person, I got a job this week and will start on Monday. I'll be working with a cute autistic boy 1 on 1 in one of our elementary schools. I'm excited about this new adventure but at the same time wondering - how am I going to find the time to bead and read. I'll miss my free time but I'll enjoy the financial benefits along with the knowledge that I'll be helping a child. My January doll is coming, soon. Happy New year to all!<br /><div></div>heidibeadshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008121382875319764noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606911118075400615.post-31754342672840727552008-12-16T09:57:00.005-05:002008-12-16T10:08:39.663-05:00December Calendar Doll and BJP<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0FMxpP3dHegYCPkt3CbJr8r_oGxpIIrIYmIKuS6eeV-KskXtsfBmw1vDDs1RBprF6FvKn4ebxinZMOGr7NBI1l9iRn7R3v7nJnepfR1zruvpbHsE8GKhNF3EU6JWuM6lyr13-pdO8ojs/s1600-h/Santa+December+Calander+Doll.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280404506759481330" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0FMxpP3dHegYCPkt3CbJr8r_oGxpIIrIYmIKuS6eeV-KskXtsfBmw1vDDs1RBprF6FvKn4ebxinZMOGr7NBI1l9iRn7R3v7nJnepfR1zruvpbHsE8GKhNF3EU6JWuM6lyr13-pdO8ojs/s320/Santa+December+Calander+Doll.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div></div><div>Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! It's a busy time of year here as I'm sure where you are. My son is counting the days to Christmas and then his birthday. It's a happy time of year for children and I enjoy his enthusiasm so much. The kids in the area are wound up and ready! I would like to present my December Calendar doll, Santa. He's made with a few scupty objects. I made the face from a mold and my girlfriend Miss Patty made the star, circle and heart. If you think about it Santa has the biggest heart, he travels the world (circle) under the starts, so I thought it brought a little old world feel to him. </div><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQvgEvtfbM5CAGvcE7TDiCumrx6gUrWB489iORlv0rtRkJ3cnzBlBwiYpPyEl_QHqkD_66lS-83vC9elOA4bOODrbyX1ely3CtJfdSfV7NllHMOlwh8hSDnMhYhqNz4WKMbzQRgTIhKoo/s1600-h/December+BJP.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280404729115659346" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQvgEvtfbM5CAGvcE7TDiCumrx6gUrWB489iORlv0rtRkJ3cnzBlBwiYpPyEl_QHqkD_66lS-83vC9elOA4bOODrbyX1ely3CtJfdSfV7NllHMOlwh8hSDnMhYhqNz4WKMbzQRgTIhKoo/s320/December+BJP.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div></div><div>My December BJP is a tree with the ornaments exploding off it. I think it shows the enthusiasm of the season from many points of view. Those who love this season and those who just want to say Bahumbug. Your choice. I'm not going to tell you that I wanted the ornaments on the tree but couldn't do it, it just happened that they put themselves where they are and I'm doing a loose interpretation! :)</div><br /><div><br /></div><div></div><div>Thanks for all of you who have visited my blog and let such nice comments, I appreciate it and enjoy reading them. Enjoy your holidays, breathe and be kind to yourself. I'm trying to do this and remind myself of it often since I'm in the process of looking for a job. I retired last February for health reasons and it's time. I'm feeling stronger but you know if I had my druthers, I'd rather be beading! Less stress</div>heidibeadshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008121382875319764noreply@blogger.com14
