Unlocking My Creativity & Trav'lin' Light

If anyone is checking for 2010 updates, I'm including a link here to my January and February pieces. I'm actually keeping up this year (for the first two months - ha ha) and have ideas for March. Hope everyone is staying warm and finding time to bead!

6 more months done, 2 left to go

I've had a tougher time getting my journal pages done this year than I expected. In my blog I have updated January through June. Only July and August to go!

February finished

Hi everyone,

Really I am a turtle! Nevermind (??) I arrive :-) slowly but surely!!
You can see my page at

This one is for my mother, she loves music, opéra, littérature , flowers and she would love to see 'Carmen' at the Opéra de Paris.
I am not a doll's spécialist so it was a little adventure for me, but it was so fun !!
Perhaps I'll add a fringe at the bottom of the page...

February is done

AWAKENING is my february page's name. You can see it here

February Finished and posted

My feburary man is finished
and here is a little teaser for you to see.
January and March are coming along
with netballs, leis, Mickey Mouse ears they'll be

Finished in time for April to close
With travel, Easter, weddings and birthdays
Being events that are coming so inspiration flows.
Into little men, goddesses and muses for 2010.

Catching up

I finally finished *February* today - I've never been so behind but I'm glad that I took my time and didn't rush so I suppose there's something to say for that. I have a bad habit of rushing and not being happy with my work so slowing down was good practice for me. My February page is here.

F for February and Fab

What? Another doll so soon again?
Well, girls, I have to make it plain:
I was lagging far behind
which was burdening my mind.
So I caught up, feel fine once more
with a new doll to adore.
Please take the time to visit FAB.
(I promise you she isn't drab.)

Dec & Feb nearly there

I have posted halfway pictures of December and February men with January to come later.

Getting Caught Up!

I managed to get my Feb piece done, you can see it here. It was nice to do a more free-form piece for a change! -Joan Cromley

Back in the Saddle!

January tease November tease

February tease

Hi all, after a few months of setbacks I've been able to get myself almost caught up, November, February and January bjp's are finished if you'd care to peek here at them. Just click on the month on my blog to look at each on if it's not on the first page.

November and Backgrounds

November is being stitched as we speak and I have been experimenting with more backgrounds for Janaury and February. See more at didis beaded goodies
I would also like to say thank you for the comments, its great to think that somewhere out there someone is looking at my work.

February

I've posted a photo and details of this month's piece on my blog.
http://focus-on-fiber.blogspot.com

I have completed February piece. It has vintage lace, buttons, little yo-yos, blanket stitch, red bugle beads, sequins, delicas, little hearts given to me by PK and of course a dragonfly. March is underway but am waiting for bead order to come.

Ahead of the game... so sorry!

I can't resist, but my February BJP is already done. After serious and heavy pondering on my part, here it is!

Anyway, February's BJP has a lot of meaning to me, so

if you'd like to see it, please stop by my blog! It's called "reaching for what grounds me" and have to tell you, finally got the pic on my blog to enlarge when you click on it, so you can see the details!
Here's to hoping February brings springier weather, though that's probably more than one should hope for at this point!
