2nd Quarter Update on "Fire"

Well, I've gotten a little more done on the 2nd quarter. Not sure if I'll be able to get it all done over the summer, but here's hoping! See progress on my blog here.

October Done

Well, I finally finished my October piece. You can see it here. This is not what I had originally started with. My Hong Kong part was different but it was just not working. I finally just removed all the beads & started over with something that I like better. Sometimes you just have to move on. This is a different piece for me but as I'm new to bead embroidery, I'm anxious to try different approaches. Not sure that I like it but it was a learning experience of dos & don'ts!

For Any Behinders Out There...

Take heart. I just finished my OCTOBER journal quilt/page. You can see it here until I get it posted in the flickr group site.

Now I just have to get caught up on February, March, and April!

A behinder getting there

slowly but surely. See my blog for an update post on Oct and Nov pages which are now finished. I am about half way through Dec and have gotten the materials together for Jan. Hoping to be up to date by the end of the month.

Caught Up and Moving Forward

I have posted pictures of my October, December and January pages on my blog. It feels good to be caught up and to be even with the board again. I have started on my February page and plan to keep up on my work. ( didn't we all say that 8 months ago..... :>} ) Thanks for all the support and encouragement when I fell so far behind, you are all the greatest.

Behinder almost there

Well, having been absent for a couple of months, I thought it was time to post the lastest update. See my October Page here and also the beginning to Novemeber plus a sketch for December.

Behinder update

I've added Sept and Oct to Flickr, and a picture of how the pieces will be finished. Nov is finished, Dec is planned, so I'm only one month behind now.

November BJP Complete

I have posted a picture of my November page on my blog. I have also posted about my lack of progress with my October page. Nothing like a good WHINE on a cold rainy day.

October in December!

I have finished my October page. I have it on my blog if you want to see it. I'll try posting it to flickr too.

Hope everyone enjoys their holiday season. I hope to read more of the blogs to see what everyone has been up to lately. Enjoying this group is like a present!

My October Page is done

October and November were busy months as I prepared for a jewelry show I participated in. Now that is behind me and I've finally finished my October page. Interestingly, my bead journaling took me to a deeper place which helped me look at my "inner gremlin". You can see my page and read about my journey here.

Happy beading!

"Fire" Update - 2nd Quarter BJP

I've put an update of my second quarter BJP "Fire" on my blog. This quarter is progressing much faster than the first quarter went.

October Completed

YAY! I completed October and have started my November piece, and it is still November :) This piece was the opposite of last months, but I really like it. You can check it out here October. I seem to kind of flip back and forth between heavily beaded and lightly beaded, but I am finding it just fits so well with where I am in my life.

I think one of the best parts of this project for me though has been a wonderful new friend I have made. We met when I walked into a shop to buy some beads for my first month and happened to mention why I was buying them and found a fellow BJP'er there. Well, one thing lead to another and she has become a true friend. I find we spend as much time just sitting and talking about anything and everything as we do beading or metalworking or anything else we are inspired by that day. I am so grateful for this group and the support that everyone offers. Thank you all for sharing this with me and thank you Robin for all your time and efforts.

October BJP - Completely Complete.

Here.

November is still in the planning stage, but if all goes well I should have some pics up soon.

As I start in on the half-way mark for this project I can't help but reflect on how much we've all managed to achieve at this point, the wealth of talent we have the privelege to be among, and the joy of sharing our passion with each other. How quickly these days have passed, and how much I'm looking forward to the days ahead.

Hooray for us all!

October pictures finally posted!

Hope I get this posted before our power goes out again... bit windy here in the chilly Northwest...


Above is a little teaser from my October BJP, which is all about respect for my body... a radical change in attitude goes along with this piece, and it all started with Angela Plager's July BJP. There are links to her pages, the story behind my piece and pictures on my blog.

Everybody's work is so awesome! Checking this and member blogs and our Flickr page is such a pleasure.... Robin A.

October page

Hi everyone, it has been a long time since I posted on the main journal. I have been reading and posting on the individual ones and my own. I continue to see drool worthy work!

I finally finished my October page today. I had finished September, at least for now. It may need more work, I hardly did anything on it.

You can see both pages and lots of other pictures on my blog. Link below. It may be slow if you have dial up as I posted a lot of pictures recently from some trips I have been on and my fall color changes. I don't get a lot of changes where I live in northern CA, but enough to remind me.

And Robin, I was in your neck of the woods, in Port Townsend, WA last weekend indirectly for the big knitting retreat at Fort Worden. It was a lot of fun.

Happy beading (and knitting) all. Nancy K.

October 'Under the Sea'

I have finished my October page & you can see it & read about my inspiration for it here

I am out of order with my pages but they will all come together in the end which is what counts I hope ;9

I've added the page to Flickr as well

Enjoy

October Page Progress

I've been busy organizing and getting ready for the annual arts and crafts show I participate in every year. So, the progress on my October page has been slowly coming along. You can see what I've done so far here.
The wind and rain are whipping against my windows today so it's a perfect day for staying inside and beading! I'm continuing to enjoy and be in awe of everyone's beautiful work.

October page posted

I finished my page for October yesterday. This is the first time I can remember working with raku pieces and enjoyed it immensely. I am on a quest to find more.

Click on the link in my signature below and you will be taken to my blog for a full page photo.

Take care,

October page completed

I finished my 'things that go bump in the night' page last night while watching silly old horror movies and waiting for trick or treaters that never arrived. This page was lots of fun because I got to use odd beads I'd had around for a very long time but had no other use for as well as some new lampwork beads made by my friend Pam. Now it's on to November and I think I even have a notion of what I want to do.

The October page is here for your viewing amusement - it really is a fun and light hearted page, despite all the skulls.

A Month of Sundae's

G'Day Everyone,
I have finished my October page and here is a teaser shot, the full pic is on our Flickr site. No I haven't forgotten August and have been working on it along with this one but it's still not ready. I have a two week vacation coming up in November, four more work days and counting! Have every single day of the fortnight planned. Beading, beading, a concert - A tribute to Lennon and McCartney - and of course a 'girls night out'and then more beading.
Cheers Nospoj
PS Happy Halloween to all who celebrate it - BOO!
