Posted by Unknown at 2:20 PM comments (45)

I was featured in Stringing Magazine!

Here is the March 2012 Issue..

the beautiful necklace with my
Lampwork is featured here below in pics

Gaea created this lovely Pretty Pastels

necklace in the March 2012 Issue. It's so lovely isn't it?! My purple bead is on the Right side and below see pics..

Ok maybe just ONE bead but I'm so happy never the less!! Thank you Gaea for featuring my purple dotted Lampwork bead!

I've been depressed for so many months at least five. Some people say turn it into creativity but I'm just not very good when depressed! Ive tried picking myself up but all that called me was my bed. Is this me? No but maybe we have to be go through a Season to become whole again? I don't know. I wonder how many other people have this happen where they do nothing for a long time. Does it help doing nothing..no but maybe there is a hidden secret in the healing process? I have seen people create and create and chug along and that made me feel like the cake that fell in the oven too. But I'm so thankful its lifted and I am feeling alive again. The air is so freshe and I see the grass coming green again..it gives so much hope doesn't it? My close friends Gaea, Birgitta and Patty have spoken such kind words to me for encouragement. Thank you my friends you are so treasured!

So maybe its only ONE bead but I am in Stringing Magazine! Lovely Gaea made this beautiful necklace that is in the new March 2012 Issue.

Thank you for commenting on my last few blogs when I was so unable to post on yours.

There is always hope..

and this was my gift..

You ever just want to kick your OWN hind quarters? Well I do. Despite big changes in my life and I'm not feeling so great sometimes.. I've told myself today Janet you've just to get back to work. The world waits for No One. And today it is clearer than ever..

The New Year is here and I will get back to my Lampworking I must crack my Own whip because if I don't make this happen No One will.

So I've made some Lampwork which is here and in my Shop here. I've got some pictures of Birgitta Lejonklous Hedgehog necklace its so Earthy and sooo pretty isn't it? She makes such beauty with her ceramic focals! And here too is her bracelet..and they are all Mine! Yey. Here is her Shop.

As far as The Sisterhood of the Traveling Bead Box it is lost officially LOST or was Stolen never to be found. I'm so sorry for that because it was just GREAT because it was Legend. Heather Powers many Thanks to her for the Box as she started it..

Where have the days gone? Where have I been anyway?
And I said this in my last Blog too. But things have been turned sideways in my life, things I cant talk about here. But never the less life is so good anyway. So I have come back into Blogging and I have missed reading some really treasured blogs! Ive come back as well to very sad news and lives changed. If only I could change things in peoples lives. But I can pray and this is what I will do.

And So..Christmas is upon us and I'm glad its a quiet and peaceful one. I haven't gone gone crazy doing alot of shopping plus the money tree dried up in the Texas drought this summer! Just quiet and goodness. Life is good! I'm my absence Ive had a few close friends ask where are you Janet and lovely Birgitta called me from Sweden. Fine wine!

So today is Bead Table Wednesday! And whats on my Table? I haven't blogged nor torched in two months and I'm so over joyed to torch again! Also I will take a private lesson from my lovely friend Helen Simon who is the Master of Lampworking. Ecstatic isn't the word. I'm so blown away I cant wait!

These are my purple torched beads that will fly off to Holland for some lovely people in my life..

Bead table Wednesday? My studio needs a really big clean. I need to call the elves?! This is the worst mess yet..

Today I wish you peace and joy..and then healing that only the good Lord and time can bring!

Im soooo out of the Loop! Family calls me away and some New beads!

The Big Reveal!

Hi everyone! I want to say that I have Re~done my Soup!! The top picture is my Soup I did today. My husband and my Son said "look what you did that's ugly". Then I had an anonymous comment that said I was promoting my Lampwork. My intention was not to cover up Davinia's pretty focal. I felt so bad. Here is my Re~do. And you know what this is much prettier! What was I thinking? Here is Davinia's focal on a much prettier necklace. Yey.
Thank you Davinia for your lovely beads!

This is HOW my Post started before I re~did it..
This GREAT day has finally arrived..with 362 marvelous women's Bead Soup! Lori Anderson you ALWAYS Bring it! Thank you for so much hard work..ox

Davinia Algeri of Back Pocket Designs. Davinia is my partner. She gave me a right chuckle when I first saw her Blog she described herself as:

Wife, Mother to two KIPPERS. (Kids in Parents Pockets Eroding their Retirement Savings!) I love that! Davinia makes lovely polymer clay focals and beautiful jewellery. Be sure to go by Davinias page to see my own Lampworked Beads that I sent to her and what she did with them!

** Also a Give~Away at the end of my Blog post here**

Ok here's what Divinia sent me for my SOUP:
