The helper at work

Here is Lovely Layla at work. We finally finished her Tinker Bell necklace. I thought it was going to take a week for her to decide on bead color. So many  to choose from.    I'll show finished product tomorrow. drying

Little helper

Tomorrow  Laylabugs and I will be working on some of her beads that she has done for necklace that she wants me to help her with. I'll share them later on this week after she finishes her piece. I guess it's a good thing that I finished painting some of the pieces I"m working on. The set up time is so long. I'm at a stand still.

Nice scents and pretty things

There's nothing like taking a hot bubble bath with candles burning with a nice scent. You can get your creative mind working. If you haven't tried this  you should even if it's not for that reason maybe you just need to clear your head for a few. Today a friend contacted me about a product that she's selling, and asked me to check it out so I did of course. Wow.... Just what I need!!! I thought. If you have time please check out her products I think you'll like the line as well.  https://mariamercer.scentsy.us I will be ordering.

"Why" of the Day!

I've been busy today. We're expecting ice tonight. Here's a great "why" for you: just look at how this pop's! I love the colors.

I have another why to share tonight. It's short but sweet... we're all gifted.

Hello everyone. All week I have been fighting the flu. I thought I was getting better a couple of days ago and it came right back on me, I'm so behind on all my jewelry pieces and my blogging I do apoligise. Hopefully tomorrow I can get back in the grove of things and maybe get some posted. I will start where I left off with the why's. Until then....... see you

Today my WHY is: It's fun to do things that you never thought you could do and the more you do it the better it gets. It's just great watching someone else's expression when it comes to your works of art. I get pleasure out of that.Of course you want them to purchase it as well. Or when they ask you what were you thinking when you made this.  

Now that I feel better I figured I would give another  One of my Why's. One of the biggest reasons is because of Grand Daughter she gives me so much  inspiration.   It all got started one day when she wanted me to help her color and draw pictures.She was getting mad because she couldn't draw, " I told her to start with a color and it would come to you." Mind you she is only 3. Of course she wanted me to show her what I was talking about and that is all it took.  Everyday Layla nd sit and draw. We also work with color and color blending. When I draw it's usually something that I'm going to make next, but believe me that girl has caught on. We all can create something. That is is why the gift is so great. So my Why is my granddaughter I want her to know that everyone can create something you just have to try.

I'm sorry, I've been away for a couple of days due to the flu. To continue on my WHY. I love having a thought and trying to put it together to see what I may get. Everyone of us a have gift to give the world it's what we do with that gift. That gift is how the world will recieve us. Everything we do day to day is a gift it really is how we represent it. It's like people that run for office their gift is to be a great speaker.We all know that it's all about there speaking ability that draws everyone in from one canidate. I'm surely not going to talk politics. I think we all can find fault.What I am going to say is," What ever day it is we should always look for the gift in that day, and do something with that gift. In short my why for today is: For eveyday, I can find a gift and know that I can create from that gift.

 My #3 Why.
I really enjoy what I'm doing. Nothing worse than doing something you don't enjoy or like.You don't get nothing out of doing something you don't enjoy. When I do something that I don't enjoy I just dread it. I put it off for as long as I can. I don't have any satisfaction out of it. Really see no point in at all. When you enjoy doing something  you like, man... do  the juices just flow. You never know what you may get. What think you may get you may notbut in the end you liked it while you were doing it. You may not
 achieve what you wanted to achieve but just keep trying you'll get it. Giving up is not a option!        

My second Why :
      I love expression and isn't that what we do through our designs or what ever we do during the day.
What you do tells a story. Not everyone gets it. It only belongs to the holder.My second why would be expression through my work.

I was reading a blog today.The challenge for Feburary was: What is your why's. You need 15.I'm not participating in the challenge but I thought it would be a good introdution for my blog. I'm not so sure I have 15 but each day I'll try to tell my why's. My first one.... Why do I want to bring back something in my life that I put off for so many years. 22 years ago I lost someone in my life that inspired me to be me, and do things that bring me lots of joy and happiness. It shattered my world as I knew it. I'm tearing up right now as I write this. I guess this is why the Why's are so important. I lost my mother she was 46 and I was only 28 a mother of three and at the time my marriage wasn't what it should of been. A husband that, well let's just say not very responsible. Through the years that changed. Thank goodness.  I lost my inspiration to what I love. My passion is not only jewelry it's other art work. I had to go back into managerment at least I knew I could pay the bills. For anyone that runs someone else's business you know there is no true reward for yourself. Since the death of my mother I have had this picture that has drawn me to it each day it For some reason when I look at it I think of my mother. It is totally crazy because it's not even a picture of her. I bought this picture at a yard sell it just drew me in. It two angels one is kissing the other. Everyday that I look at it I keep asking myself  when are you going to take that step of fate and go do what you wanted to do many years ago.  So this is my why for today it's time!!!

Man I'm glad this week is over. Learning how to blog... well I have to say that's not no joke.Taking care of five kids everyday just to have some income coming in so I can launce my business. I will be glad to give up the child care. I do love the kids they are such a insipration. My Laylabugs she never wants to go home. She always says," can we do some jewelry MeMa"? How do you tell her no. Needless to say I do most of my work after all the kids go home.
