Janet Kay’s Musings

Yes, I have decided that I will write my blog at least a couple of times a week unless I am out of town, sick in bed or some other dire event.
And I will be doing more photos of my work (or others). My web master, Jim Finster, is helping and has the patience of a Saint. Saint James. Sounds good.

My summer has been spent doing things to my house--repair, improvements--that stuff. Home ownership is expensive and necessary but not as fun beading.

I continue to make pieces that celebrate Day of the Dead. Why do this just one month of the year?
I have beaded with friends on occasion but mostly bead alone--alone but not lonely. Being a widow sucks, but I deal with it by having a life and moving on.

The above photo is a necklace I made this summer featuring Kim Field's Lampglass poppies. I like this piece but I do think there is too much seed bead work and it detracts somewhat from the Poppies.
As I said, I like this piece but it is too much. Sort of like the blogger who doesn't know when to stop.
