The Beginners Beginnings

I have the bloggiest of daughters http://jessicamae3.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2008-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&updated-max=2009-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=2 and http://limesncoconut.blogspot.com/ who was relentless about me blogging. Is it misery loves company or does she indeed think I have something to say?
Wow. I have lived my whole life waiting for my children to think I have something important to say. So based on the assumption that at least one of the four want to hear from me, I begin.

As an introduction, I am a happily married, retired, mother of four children and seven grandchildren. I am very proud of all of them and tend to brag. I have always had a "project" or two going. I macramed, raised and trained Bulldogs for show, crocheted, and taught health and physical education. I am now a judge for Bulldogs and French Bulldogs in AKC shows. I am also a recent (March 08) Seedbeader. I have found a passion, or is it just another of my compulsions?

I took a class at the Volusia County Fair Grounds at a Down the Street Bead Show early in March of this year. I bought a kit from Jenny of http://www.madchiwawadesigns.com/and then paid a little extra and spent about 3 hours learning. I had never beaded before, but had a seedbead book I had owned for a year. I learned Russian Spiral from Jenny and have been trying to learn more and more via the Internet ever since.



I will try to learn how to add pictures and other things that may be of interest.

Bye for now...duty calls!
