How Sad!!
In message , Marilee M
writes Good morning Shirley! Well have no idea what time it is in England, but whatever hope this finds you feeling good. I know you have tried to revive the group and I truly thought you might have succeeded but after a few posts, Nothing!!! I do beaded cabs but have to admit so busy trying to clear out years of craft supplies that haven't touched a bead (except to buy more) for months!!!! It is an addiction!!! Marilee Well it is morning now and I have just struggled to get up. I too have done many crafts in the past and am trying to get rid of some of the things I have. I know I shall never do some of them anymore. Since my health as deteriorated over the last 18 months. Been rushed in hospital 5 times with heart problems. I have another cross to bear. The results of my MRI scan two weeks ago showed that I have a bulging disc in my spine in the lumber region. That is the cause of the excruciating back and leg pains I have been suffering for 10 months. The only solution is surgery but alas my heart may not stand up to it. A tough decision to make, risk my life or be in pain for the rest of it. I have been to an osteopath but he cannot help me. So I keep myself busy with Genealogy and occasional beadwork. Any one can feel free to e-mail me and I will reply when I can. Address below, Hugs Shirley -- Shirley Shone http://www.allcrafts.org.uk |

How Sad!!
well - I thought I'd de-lurk and say hi. I didn't realize that this
used to be a very active list - I'm sure I don't remember subscribing to it - but I started getting little emails that there were posts. I was very sorry to hear about the passing of Shannon Hill - I'm glad someone posted it here. I'm a lampworker in Canada - my interesting in beads and jewelry started when I used to collect vintage costume jewelry and has sort of gotten out of hand from there! I am closely associated with beadfx.com - (disclosure - but I really do believe in the store so when I recommend it - it is truly heartfelt!) which is a bead store in Canada. It's online and a brick and mortar store - I do the website and also teach lampworking classes. And I'm should be actually writing my Monday blog post instead of reading here! Shirley - you have my deepest sympathy on the heart and back thing. That's a scary place to be - but you are right - living in pain is no way to go. My other obsession is dogs - I have 3. You have no idea what an effort it is to stop there and not say more. ;-) |

We had great fun doing swaps, making bracelets, necklaces and exchanging them. Also had a wand swap. Then we had BFNR ( beads for no reason) when we sent a package of beads to someone we thought needed when. I actually got the first package but it really was for a reason that time. It was when I had the 6 stents put in my heart. The card said From our hearts to your heart. I still have it and also still a lot of the beads that came with it. Some are in jewellery and other I still fondle. We had a Shirley's Spoon club whereby I used to send an antique salt or mustard spoon used for scooping up beads. I used to enclosed them in parcels. I would get them from antique fairs. How I wish that those day were back but I doubt if they ever will be. I have a RCB gallery of peoples photos over my work bench and I can look up and see them every day. Hugs Shirley -- Shirley Shone http://www.allcrafts.org.uk |

I think there is a lot of dilution now - there are so many forums and places and ways to share online - you can't do them all - and news groups, unfortunately - just aren't as sexy or user accessible as thinks like, say - Facebook, blogs, etc. |

You had to mention the wand swap, and that brought me out of the
woodwork, Shirley I can't recall who got my wand, but man do I feel bad for them. It was so terrible!!! I used poly clay...and let's just say that I should have waited a year or two before attempting to make anything out of that medium, for anyone but myself! LOL I still have the lovely wand that was sent to me, tho...a beautifully bead-soup beaded hairstick, that I do use in my hair for a bit of a pick me up My thoughts are with you, my friend, and yes, I still want to be you when I grow up ~Candace~ Shirley Shone wrote: In message , Dwyn writes well - I thought I'd de-lurk and say hi.

Dear Candace, it does my heart good to see you post.
You can be me but without the health problems, I would not wish them on anyone. Arondelle made my wand and I made one for Tina. My wand sits alongside of me as I type. Hugs to you my dear friend.

Ohhhhhhhh, Kathy. Someday, I will make you a new wand, I promise. (I
could even use poly clay again and have it come out well this time! hahahaha) Kathy King wrote: I go the wand candace!
