Creative Frustration

My March necklace definitely has to be about all of my wonderful family, friends and students who have so kept me together this last year. I have the image of a perfect necklace using lots of bright colors, hearts and hands. The problem is I can't seem to make it work. Good thing I have until the end of March. It is going to take that long to come up with something I'm happy with. You guys deserve a wonderful necklace!

Ahhh, heat!

This has been a crazy winter so far. All the changes in temperature and the barometer would have made this a difficult winter even without the additional bone pain. I am quite literally in constant pain. Thank goodness for my new tub. It is so wonderful to have the heat that covers my legs and hips. We had to turn the heat up on the hot water heater for me to get the water as hot as I want it. My water bill is going to be huge this time. It is well worth it to have the relief from pain even if it is only temporary. I still haven't replaced the flooring. Pain tolerance, energy and weather haven't all worked together at the same time yet.

February Necklace

I have posted my February necklace for the Bead Journal Project.  It is my Buddhist necklace, i. e., part of the series of what kept me together such as Buddhism and friends and family.  I wonder if  it would be possible to do one about my iPad? Being able to use it to read when I didn't have any energy to do anything else certainly kept me sane.  Oh, well, something to think about.

You can see the new necklace here.
