Writing, Writing, Writing

In the last couple of months I have hardly touched beads - and I am missing them !!

My beading area is covered with a cloth so things don't get dusty!  Sheeeesh !!!

 This is not a complaint, just stating how I feel. 

I started out playing with beads and fell in love with bead-weaving. I got the chance to play

everyday and see what I could create. Somewhere along the journey my creations were

in demand so I added writing tutorials to my skills. Sometimes I enjoy writing as I can be 

creative in the writing, layout and look of my tutorials. It is very gratifying to illustrate a

tutorial and when all is finished the illustration looks just like the piece you created….thank God!

But other times I just get fed up with writing as it feels never-ending.  

It was said to me recently that I should sit and design and when I have a new piece, write the tutorial straight away. Yes, I agree, but that is in an 'ideal world'.

If I am flowing with designing I don't want to stop, generally one design leads to another design,

to another design and so on…….when designing juices flow you have to go with it. Don't you agree???

The problem with that is I end up with five or six new things and then I am ready to write!!!

The Buddhists say endeavour to achieve the "balance" in life. At 65 I am still struggling with that one.

Well enough griping from me.

Today, I am very pleased to share "Oriental Rose" 

the third class I am teaching in New York in June. I hope you like this one also.
