I have to thank everyone that has given me advise and fantastic pointers, I appreciate all your words of wisdom! Lisa at Indigo's Beads, Nicole at Beadwright, Ralonda at Beaded to Bless, Marie at Art from my Heart and Beth at Bellesandbeaus Crafts. I've learned quite a bit from my first bead embroidery piece and with all your help my next will be so much better, thank yous so much!
Now I want to thank everyone for helping me to give her a name. Silke, at Metamorphoris, Lisa Criswell at Indigo's Beads, Aryd'ell at Gypsy's Ramblings and Ralonda at Beaded to Bless.
I had fun with her, learning and making her and even though I still have to buy a frame for her yet, I'd like to introduce to you...
Dream Angel




Now if I could only learn how to take good pictures I'd be in business.
I hope that everyone has a beautiful weekend! Until the next...Bead Happy!
Hugs and happy beading...

In fact everybody that has come over since last week has seen all the gorgeous Cabochons that you sent me! My grand-daughters especially love the heart cabs, now I can't wait until they see the Butterfly!



Now for Christmas Marie sent me all of these gorgeous ornaments that I still have to get busy making. They're collector items from The Cracker Box. My heart is still filled with the joy of when I opened this box my dear friend...thank you! I'm sorry that I didn't post this earlier, but I had been so sick with my kidneys and in and out of the hospital with so many surgeries.





At this time I also want to thank my very good friend, Silke Powers from: Metamorphosis
Silke was so kind to send me this gorgeous and handmade scarf that she made for me! Silke, I'm so sorry that I hadn't posted this before. I had wanted to but, yep...hospital here I went again. So today I looked through my computer because I knew I had taken pictures the day I had received it from you, guess what??? I found them! I have to tell you that I was so excited...I just loveeeeee your scarf you made for me. Thank you so much again Silke, you're so sweet! Also thank you for all your love and your cards that you've sent me, they mean so much to me!






I also want to thank another very sweet and wonderful friend, Lynda Dunham-Watkins from: Swoopin' Along! Besides being a good friend to me, while I was so sick and in the hospital Lynda had made this:



To go along with this Lynda was so gracious to add my name and then open the door to prayer for all our friends here in Blogland, at home and our families to! How wonderful and kind is that! All we need to do is: Leave the name to be added to our list in the comment section. Then Lynda will add them each evening.
Thank you so much for this Lynda! Marie had called me at the hospital and had told me about it and I have to say that I was so very touched...Thank you Lynda!

I've never attempted anything like this before so I thought, how hard could this really be...Ha! I beaded my lil fingers off and was getting no where. I had wanted to make all of my sons and grand-kids some beaded eggs for Easter, and use some of my Bead Stash that I have at the same time. Well...the only one who's going to have beaded eggs for Easter is yours truly. Some that my sweet mother had made for me a few years ago, then these. Oh my goodness I've never before had that amount of troubles trying to make something in my life. So...the only Easter eggs my sons and grand children will be getting is ones that the Bunny himself brings. lol

To read the story of Bella, please go here:

http://cesandherdishes.blogspot.com/2009/07/bella-sinclair-award.html

A warm, loving and very touching story!

Ces writes, "I designed this award to celebrate art in the blogs and to honor the value of friendship, sisterhood, sharing and caring. It is to be awarded to the gifted, accomplished, eloquent and talented blogger whose friendship and influence inspire us to do our best. That I named it after Bella Sinclair is because she epitomizes all of these things. She is an inspiration to many of us. "

Also Ces writes, "I hope that when Bella returns, this award would have already circulated in the blogs. It is my honor to give this award to the first recipients who I hope will find the same pleasure as I have in spreading its crown, giving shade and the comfort of friendship and caring and of sisterhood by sharing this award with their blog-friends and sisters!"

What a beautiful and loving story Ces, thank you!
