Rough Week

I couldn't resist snapping a quick photo of my cat Pollymewer aka Polly. She was just hanging over my desk chair ,clearly exhausted.

My feelings exactly ! What a longgggggggggg week I've had !

I put in  many extra hours at work . I took on a new work project to organize at home .I said a few emotional goodbyes to long time patients. We know our fur friends won't be with us forever. But, it always hurts to let them go .

Not much  time or energy for bead projects this week .

But, I did manage to make a few new things .

I liked the toggle I made for  my ABS entry so much ,I decided to play with the idea.

I created a set with the leftover red to purple blend,

Then I decided to try a set in black  and silver. 

I love how it turned out . Not really rustic ,not really steam punk ,not really Halloween...

But, I think it's perfect for any of those themes .

Creating a random rough texture suited my mood .

It seemed to symbolize a heart full of love ... surviving life's rough spots

Life is rarely smooth and shiny. Instead it is full of bumps and gouges.That's what gives life texture and meaning .

I must use the rest of this day to make beads and earrings
Fortunately I do find that restful and restorative
When you have a rough week,
just think of it as adding some texture  to your life
and
 Bead Happy,
