BJP 2008 Finished!

OK, I know I have been very quite. My husband is now retired and we are still trying to figure out how life is going to work! Makes things a little crazy. But I have finished my pieces! You can see the completed set at my blog.

I work well with specific deadlines where I have no choice but to have something completed so I decided to enter my pieces into the Fine Art of Fiber exhibition at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. If you are in the Chicago area, the show is very well worth the trip. You can then see my pieces in person!

Now on to figuring out my format for the next BJP. I'm so excited! I know how I want to do my journaling but I need to work out the logistics a bit before we start up. Especially as I will be in Australia for the first three months of the year & then in Hong Kong for a few months. I'm planning on making covers for journals, one for each month. And then writing all the different thoughts that come to mind for the month into the journal.

I love this group. I may not always be verbal but I do try to read the blogs & look at other people's pieces. Everyone should be very proud of their work. It is all beautiful!

Last 2 blocks

Although I posted them a few weeks ago I forgot to let everyone know that I had finished my July and August blocks and have a picture of my 12 finished blocks on their Sacred tree. I still have a lot of work to do before the background layers are done but that will have to wait until the new year as we get closer to having the house we are building finished.

Happy Halloween!

BJP friends in Minnesota!

Hi Everyone!

I just posted on my blog, here, about beading with three current BJP members in St. Paul, MN last week. We had a blast! There's some sweet eye candy for you to see!


Registration is progressing nicely! Good to have some of you back again!!!

Quiet, but still at it

Hi all, I've been off the grid a while, but I'm still working on my projects. Today I added 4 month's worth to my Flickr account, but I've not gotten to my blog yet. Please drop by for a look-see and celebrate my progress! I've missed you guys and hope to get caught up on all your wonderful work while I've been gone. I'm also looking forward to next year!

Still playing catchup!

I'm still playing catchup on 3 months - March, June and July. This is my March page. I'm still inspired by Pat Winters and decided to do another crazy quilt piece. March is my birthday months and this year was one of the big ones... The photo is of me on my 1st birthday, purple and green are my favorite color combo and I think the rest is pretty self explanatory.

My June 2009 page posted

Good Morning!
Last night I posted my June page. This morning, I realized that I didn't post a notice on this blog. That's a good thing, because I have been thinking about the 2009 project and the fact that I have only made 10 pages. I started this, my first year, with a post of a beading of my face. Would I reveal my inner self to you, or hide behind a curtain? Recently I knew that I would end this year with another face. After finishing my June page, I realized that this page, for me, is actually the end of the 2009 project.

So I am 10 out of 12 months completed. I have decided that with the coming holidays and the fact that I am dedicated to making ALL presents, I don't want to rush through 2 more pages just so I can say that I completed 12. And, amazingly, I feel no guilt about the decision.

So, please visit my blog. I had so much fun doing it and I can honestly say that the beads took the lead.

Yes, I am participating in 2010 and I hope you all come along with me!
