It has been really wonderful to be home the past few weeks. The Christmas tree is still up...I still am amazed that Christmas 2010 passed. I remember that day because we started to get help that day...That's all I remember. A person I respect very much said the fact that the Christmas tree is still up is proof that I've been attending to the things that needed to be done...Some of those things have been floating with Hannah in the pool, and a few have been reading a good book.
I love sitting on the screened porch my dad built for my mom for their 25th Anniversary. We took ice-cream and sat on Grams' porch, about a week ago.
I also am designing jewelry. Making it, too. My soul is quiet while I move my beads around...I think about patterns, like when I work with my little kindergarten kiddos. My soul needed a little quiet. Oh, gee, do I want an AB pattern today, an ABB pattern? How about ABAC pattern? Am I in a sparkly frame of mind? Pink or magenta? Silver or Gold? Don't like my little bracelet? No big deal! Try it again!
Hannah and Savanna chose some beads they wanted for their bracelets. I was clueless about how to pull it together with what they chose, because I wouldn't have chosen those particular beads! They both turned out beautifully! I'm thinking I might be taking these girls to my next bead show to pick out some "only would a teenager pick out these" beads! They clearly saw the potential that I did not!
I'm thinking about my students making something special for their moms this year. Moms give so much of themselves...wouldn't something shiny from their kiddos be a special treat? So, until that time, the teens in our family will have some sparkly bling from me!
