Great to see you Kathy! I can't believe Manda is in college!!

Then, you want to go back.. but you don't know how to quietly slip back into the discussions? Well, that's been my problem. Soooo.. I wanted to say "Hi guys!". I'm still here, I'm still reading your posts... I've just been a lazy silent member for the last couple of months, but I'll work on getting better. :-) Absolutely. I haven't posted in a whole bunch of months, and I wonder if there is anyone here who remembers me. I'm Kathy N-V, live in Boston, and most of my beading time and energy is spent making bracelets to give away. When I leave the house (not a common occasion), I make sure I have an armful of bracelets. Whenever I see someone who looks as if they need a little pick-me-up, they get a bracelet. It never fails. In the past seven years, I have only had two or three people who didn't end up feeling loads better, since most people don't expect gifts from strangers who don't want something in return. I normally return home bracelet free. I'm also learning to adjust to an empty house, as my favorite child, Amanda started college this fall and is 404.7 miles from home. (No, I am not that obsessed. The school sent her a postcard with the distance on the front) Amanda is also adjusting to life without parents at her beck and call, and all of the charms of living in a dorm such as noise, lack of privacy, boys who use the closest rest room (even if it is clearly marked "Ladies!"), people who abuse alcohol (no one here drinks, so she has never been exposed to alcohol before. After seeing the aftermath of a weekend spent drinking, she's not really excited about trying liquor) She is having a great time as the only Red Sox fan in Yankee territory. Much of her room is a shrine to the Fenway faithful, and we bought her a subscription so she could watch all the games live on her laptop. The television stations only broadcast Yankee games - imagine that! As we are now in the playoffs, Manda's dorm neighbors are getting a taste of their own medicine as she watches the night games, cheering the BoSox, Booing their opponents and yelling at bad calls by the umpires, missed catches, and every other event in the nine innings. Today's beading project is a triple row choker, done in blues, greens and a touch of chartreuse. It's going quickly, since it's just chevron stitch. When I finish the body of the choker, I'm going to embellish it with some chartreuse tulip beads I found in my stash. You can guess who will be the recipient, and I'll even give you a hint: I don't wear chokers, and Manda's favorite color is chartreuse. :-) I'll try not to be such a stranger, and I send my best wishes for health and happiness to all of you.

I think all the "old timers" drift back here every now and then.

Thanks. But I guess most of y'all already know, one good sale is nice.. but it won't keep me in business. :-) It's really more of a temprary-motivator. I'm seriously thinking about giving it (jewelry making) up after Christmas. I'll probably keep making jewelry for me, but I doubt I'll keep trying to sell it. There is just way too much work involved with selling. find yourself a free webhost, post some of your stuff, don't go out of your way to make sales. I'd very much hate to see you giving up jewelry making. Honest. You sell more than me (OK, I'm a person with a high frustration tolerance, so they make me deal with equipment on serial lines (insider joke between Mary and me) and stuff like that. I have never considered giving up making jewelry yet. I have given up craft fair for years, starting over this year, but mostly because I have the opportunity to get in free (my glass supplier, where I also bought my torch) or inexpensively (local art community), and I can get in for _one_ day. I may not make minimum wage, but I may also get my torch, glass, and a bunch of beads and supplies paid for. - If you keep reading r.c.b. you can be sure to find out. - Maren HiloBeads: Beads - Beading Supplies - Hand-made Jewelry http://www.hilobeads.com/ Blog at: http://hilobeads.blogspot.com/ |
