This morning my computer screen is as daunting as an empty sheet of paper. I want to write. I know once I begin, I’ll find something to write about, but the ideas… they’re not coming.

*waiting*

Nope, still not there. Perhaps taking the easy route might be the best thing to do today. I’ll post some pictures.

This is himself… Rick the Cat.  He was determined to help out as the Czech seed beads were being processed.  Since seed beads love to run away, his task was holding them down.  He did a great job!


Last night I received an email from Claire Kimble, one of the instructors at the shop. She’d attached a couple of pictures. The piece above is a herringbone bracelet with a little moon face she purchased on one of her first visits to the new store.

Isn’t it amazing? I love her color choices.

Thank you, Claire for letting me share your beautiful creation.  Oh, and by the way, Claire will be teaching this technique on Wednesday, October 27th.  There are still a couple of spaces available.


One of my favorite time killers (besides playing Bejeweled on Facebook) is stumbling. The stumble button up on my toolbar can get quite a work out depending on how much I need to check out.

I found the picture above while stumbling one night, and had to save it. That’s my kind of crustacean! I have no idea if the image was Photoshopped, or if there is a creature as colorful as the one pictured. I’m going to opt for the latter, as it makes my heart happy. Mother Nature has a spectacular sense of humor, and whimsy.

Hmmm, looking at that picture again, and then looking at what I’m wearing today, the crustacean and I have something in common… we haven’t met a color we won’t wear!


Last night I felt like goofing around in Photoshop. I’d come across the quote I used, and was struck by how very true it is! I hear all the time “I’m just not creative.” “I don’t have a creative bone in my body.”

We’re all creative. Some of us just won’t trust it’s real.


Looks like I did have a topic after all… Color and creativity… and it only took until 3:30 to realize it!
