Where have I been? Teaching art kids camps at work of course. It has been a lot of work but sooo much fun. After the morning session the kids have a break before lunch, so we set up a four square court.
Oh my gosh I forgot how much fun four square is! The kids are having a blast and so are we.
We had a party at work tonight with pizza, beer, cupcakes and Yea, you know it, FOUR SQUARE! That's right a bunch of us played for a couple of hours. I laughed so hard I peed alittle!
Remember those summer nights playing kick the can and a HUGE game of hide and go seek? It was the whole neighborhood and we stayed out until dark. No parents watching our every move, no TV, no video games, just plain ole fun. Later we would catch fire flies, and have Popsicles, and fall into bed exhausted. Good times.
What were your favorite games growing up?
The interview that I did with Beading Times just came out. Follow the link to read all about my journey! Thanks so much to Beading Times for choosing me.
I have been super busy teaching 10-11 yr. old kids how to make glass beads this past week. It is defiantly a challenge.
Back with pictures from Bead & Button soon.
I have neglected my blog due to getting ready for Bead and Button. But it was well worth it. I have a butt load of beads to bring and a great class to teach. What some great eye candy? The first necklace is a graduated disk necklace made with Clio and Kalypso silver glass. It took forever to make, but it is stunning.
Ready for more? This one is also a graduated disk necklace with Multicolor light and drop dead gorgeous turquoise disk. I will have both of these necklaces with me on the "Meet the Teachers" night at Bead and Button which is this Wed. June 8th. Come and see them in person! I am off! See you all soon.
I took some much needed time off to spend time with family and get ready for Bead and Button. I leave this Mon. and my class is Tues. and then Meet the Teachers on Wed. Please stop by my table and say Hi if you are attending. I will not have a booth at the show, just my table at Meet the Teachers.
I am super frustrated. I am not one to promote myself too much, and find it hard to contact studio's to have me come and teach my class, but it looks like I may need too. I have students contact me though e-mails, phone calls, etsy, in person asking where I teach so they can take my class. You have no idea how many times I have contacted studios to teach and they say "we will keep you in mind". I guess I am not high enough on the totem pole. It is so hard to tell students sorry. What's a girl to do. Any suggestions would be welcomed! ARRGGGG.
I have neglected the blog for a while. My father has been in and out of the hospital for several weeks. He seems fine now, but at age 85 his heart is just not as strong as it used to be.
I think it's so hard to see your strong father, who took care of you when you were a child, grow older.
Hopefully I will be back to post more in a couple of days.
Mothers Day is a hard day for many of us who have lost their Moms. I was lucky. My Mom was one of my best friends. We would talk at least once a day, and see each other once or twice a week. We both woke up early in the morning so I knew I could call at 7 am and not wake her up. We would have our coffee and talk about the day. We shared our dreams and pains.
My heart aches when I see women with their Mom on their arms. Heads almost touching and a whispered conversation shared. I see them in the mall, at the garden, in a restaurant, along a street.
If you have your Mom with you give her a kiss from me.
Time to put my head down and get ready for Bead and Button. I have 7 lovely students signed up for my glass beadmaking class on Implosions. I am super excited and can't wait to meet up with a bunch of blog friends and all my bead buddies.
Are you going? If you are taking classes please stop by my table at Meet the Teachers night on Wednesday and say Hi.
I teach on Tues. and will stick around to shop until Sat or Sun. morning. Yumm shopping for a couple of days, can't get better than that!
