Someone just told me that they can tell if I have been making beads or not by how I sound when I answer the phone. If I'm beadmaking I sound happy. I'm needing to let go of a lot of baggage lately. Is it safe to say that there are beaders and there are beadmakers and one does not necessarily have to be both? I LOOOOVE to make beads. I don't mind stringing them into simple bracelets and have even managed to make a few necklaces which I truly enjoy wearing. After buying several books on more complicated jewelry making, however, I've realized that I really don't want to invest the time and money into learning how to do wire work and more sophisticated techniques. Will this change? Perhaps when retirement comes or I get bored just making beads I'll take a class or read just the right book, but for now let's go make some more beads.
Hm, I'm particularly loving the Cantaloupe. Will you set me a price? I loved your contemplation on "Cowgirl Boots." It is so true. Sometimes good. Sometiems bad. I kind of think memory tricks are what lets moms love their crazy kids no matter what. And what makes them call every night to make sure you are home even though you are almost 24.
