Vicki's Daily Creation

February 8, 2004

Well, it's been a whole year since I started this!

In reading over the past year's postings, I'm amazed at how well I did. I've been feeling guilty about not posting every day, but I did a lot better than I thought. I lost momentum somewhere around September, but still did a lot! I want to keep posting, but not worry so much about doing something every day. I really like the idea of having a record of all the goodies I've made, not to mention my moods.

I'm still working to stay away from depression.... I'm feeling pretty good most days. There have been days when I literally could not get out of bed. I don't like myself very much when I'm like that. I'm grateful that I have a new chance every day to love myself more and be more kind to myself.

I'll be moving soon - in about 6 weeks- so it will be a challenge to be creative while I'm cleaning out and packing.

E-me! vstar3@aol.com

Here's the Herringbone Flower Bracelet that I made for the DIY Jewelry Making show. It was filmed today, (on my birthday!) but won't air until the fall. It was a terrific experience!

The Cuff style bracelet has a Velcro closure, is made with Delica beads, and took about 10 hours to complete.

I hope to be teaching this suite of wire charms and findings at Oskadusa. Included are a key fob, S clasp, ring, Frog zipper pull, crystal cube scatter pin, earrings (including the earwires), a bracelet, and a hand good luck charm.

Yikes! I (obviously) haven't posted in a whole month!

I've been packing for what seems like weeks (maybe it has...) and I'm almost all moved out.

I'll be staying at my mom's for a couple of weeks, and then off to Ohio!

I won't be able to get online to update until I'm settled in, so this'll be my last posting until about April 7.
