Two Survivors Together!!!

This post has nothing to do with beading. A Momma wants to share the short story of her son, Shawn's, victories!  As some of you know, this year has been one year that our family will never forget.  Out of tragedies there are always the miracles.  Here is one miracle that has blessed us all.  It's not a long read today, just one of thanksgivings & blessings! 

Enjoy, Sharon

　

A Blessed Happy Birthday to me!

I wanted to show you a lovely bracelet that my precious daughter/best friend made for my Birthday!!  Isn't it beautiful?  I love copper and this one is made with 4mm Firepolish and size 8's with a copper closure.  I love it!  On Thursday "the girls" went tubing down the Hootch then Melissa took me to my very favorite restuarant for lunch.  I am so glad to be able to celebrate one more year of blessings and family.  Thank you, sweet Melissa for being such a wonderful friend and daughter plus a good neighbor!  I love you so very much..... 

      I have been working on directions for this necklace.  I can not tell you how hard it is to write out directions, detail by detail, and make it understandable.  I am "stuck" on just explaining the rope let alone the details on the swags. 

This is one of three cuffs that I am working on......

Fun beading with Tila beads!  This is how I relax between projects.  Playing around with different patterns keeps my hands in the pot while learning new stitches can be so relaxing to me after a difficult day of making directions for a complicated design.

A Victorian necklace that I finished using Tila beads.This has been a wonderful year of ups and downs but I am so blessed to be healthy, eating too much, and life is good in Georgia.

Blessings to you ALL,

Sharon
