Following some strangely circuitous route I found myself a few days ago sending an email to Robin and the 2007 Bead Journal Project. From there I have found myself in the relatively new world of bead embroidery and blogging.
It seems another lifetime ago when I was still living in New Mexico and taking my first steps into beading by helping a friend bead her buckskin dress for an upcoming powwow. My first solo project was making beaded earrings in the same pattern we had used for the dress and I was hooked from that point. Life circumstances pulled me away from this love for years and it has only been in the last year that I have answered the call of the beads.
I have been getting slowly back in with making jewelry for friends and family, playing with the loom for the first time and generally just having fun getting re-acquainted with beads and all that is available now. I am really looking forward to this project and just letting my dreams and imagination guide me.
As for the blogging.....hmmm, this should be interesting as well. I am avid about journalling my private thoughts and spiritual journey, as well as keeping a book with sketches of ideas that come to me, but have never ventured into the online world of blogging. I am looking foward to this, as well as the forums and reading the journeys of my fellow journallers.

About Me
- Trilly
- My life can best be described as adjusting to change. My body may not be very flexible right now, but my spirit sure can limbo. My happy news is Mike and I were married on December 25th, 2010. It was a very small wedding, just exactly what we both envisioned. It feels really good being married to my best friend. On the more challenging side of things, health issues have seemed to rule my life for the last year and I was laid off in November. The interesting part of it all is that I now have time to work on healing, have had stressed reduced since I no longer work in a place I had come to dread walking into and I can start anew. I can’t wait for the next great adventure to begin.

I think you are doing very well with blogging. I find myself to be very sparse with words. I find it amazing people can say so much! I enjoy reading so their wordiness is more enjoyable than my sparseness but we are who we are.
Thanks freebird,
I love journalling, but rarely share it for just that reason. I love words and being able to express what I am thinking so that someone else can see what I see in my mind, yet I can be soooooooo wordy LOL. Like I just did here. I also find it amazing when someone can say in few words exactly what is in their heart :) Wonderful that we can so appreciate in others what we are not.
Thank you for stopping by and the encouragement. Hugs and good thoughts sent your way :)
