Going to go see BON JOVI on Wednesday night in Philly !!
What an absolutely unexpected treat!!
I am so excited.

Actually almost exactly 3 years ago was last time -- at same place.
But this time will be better!
And the arena team -- the Philadelphia Soul are back practicing again!

Bracelet(s)
I need to post the picture of the last bracelet finished.
Started another -- it's a bit odd.
But I also have idea's for a new one.
And then there is the new stamping toys that I got... need to get metal so that I can play with those.
Hopefully someone at Bead Binge will be selling.
Otherwise, looks like I have to make an order -- can't wait until August for Bead Fest in philly -- but that would be a good place to buy it!

Bracelet
My latest bracelet is almost completed.
I spend so much time sweating over placement.
Not like other people, no I am not.
It has to be right for me.....
So I am the slow poke.
s'ok.
I'm doing this for me.
No one else.
For me.
The pure act gives me joy.

Familiarity Breeds Contempt
It's true.
The closer you are to something, someone, or an issue, the bigger the chance is that disgust will form.

Detachables
About 2 years ago when I took my first (and only) collar class from Sherri, I came up with the idea to make the pendant detachable.
At the Tahoe Retreat, I showed her what I had done... making two pendants and using detachable hooks -- she was stunned and said she had not thought about that.
The design keeps coming back in to my mind and I want to do more detachable things.
Not more collars -- the brass setting/base is too tight.
But I want to incorporate my idea in to other items. Working on something right now (in my mind) and as soon as I finish this bracelet, I am going to start on it.
I need some metal to cut and shape ....

End of 2011
End of the year and I am doing some reflecting.
It HAS been a good year.
We are healthy (well, we could be better), happy and in good spirits.
We are safe.
We love each other.
We protect each other from harm and foulplay.
There are things that could be better.
We could all be better about our messes in the house.
We could be better about our health.
We could be better about our spending.
But that's ok.
We are safe.
My art --- I could be so much more productive.
But I will not punish myself for this.
Only will vow to make it more of a priority this year.
I am wandering, hopelessly wondering, what happened to people this year.
Sometimes I punish myself for placing too much importance on people.
I am always astounded at people's actions.
And I spend too much time wondering why.
This year I need to toughen up and say SCREW IT.
If it were that important, you'd make an effort.
If not, my plan is to move on.
Not to be negative, these are the thoughts that I have today, the last day of 2010.

You never have enough....
Had a new project to start... went to look for Black size 8's.
none to be had.
Now how could THAT happen.
Mailed Beki some beads to match.
Got my answer :)
New bead order going in !
I need to attack my art with vigor -- with activity!
I need to be AGRESSIVE with it.
Have found I am becoming somewhat passive.
Not liking that..... taking the easy way out and not dedicating myself to working on it.
MUST. CRACK. WHIP. ON. MYSELF.
