Did you ever have one of those days when you skipped breakfast and lunch and didn’t even realize it?
You know – a day when you had a million things to do and in the midst of it all, there were constant interruptions and the phone wouldn’t stop ringing?
That was Wednesday for me. By the time we finished a late dinner (I was starving by then!) all I wanted to do was put my feet up and relax.
One of the best ways I’ve found to unwind after a long day is to “play” with beads. There’s definitely something very soothing about planning and creating a pretty design!
It doesn’t have to be a big project – those are probably better for when you’re well-rested. Even if you only have an hour or two during the evening, you can easily make some smaller pieces! Of course, you can always start a larger piece if you like, and then work on it little by little whenever you have time. The point is to be sure and get your share of those creative moments – they will truly refresh your spirit!
And after the crazy busy day that I’ve just had, it seems especially nice that I have something fun to show for it! 🙂
Hi Cris
Your newest creations are absolutely lovely. I especially like the aqua/purple. Cool beads!
Those earrings are so beautiful! No wonder you feel great after creating such gorgeous pieces!!! I find that a perfect way for me to leave my troubles and stress behind is to get my hands busy with a creative task!
Pretty!! The beads are beautiful but it’s your skill in making them into fine jewelry that is so impressive!
I hate those busy days where you don’t even have time to eat!
lovely bead work
Those are so beautiful, you are extremely talented! I think it’s worth starving, at least once in a while, to produce gorgeous items like that 🙂
I really love your purple and blue earrings above. They are beautiful!
