BBB - Blooming Branches - April 2024 - Finished Jewellery

[@maryzylema9699]

Hello Winona, good to hear your feeling better. Your designs are very nice . You could sell them as sets with the option of buying separately. I love citrine, you could pair that with the purple I always thought those colors are great together . Congratulations on you getting baptized . Nothing better than getting closer to the Lord . Take care and I look forward to see you next time. 😊💖

Thanks Mary, I think that the citrine would be beautiful with the purple. I am starting to get a little bit nervous about getting baptized on Sunday. I just finished making t-shirts for everyone to wear and it is really starting to feel real to me. Take care my friend, 😊💗💗💗

Purple is my favorite color! Lovely pieces!

[@TheLeftHandedBeader]

I'm not sure what my favourite colour is. At school the kids used to ask me that question all of the time and I said it depended on the day and how I felt. That being said, I do have a lot of purple around me. Take care my friend, 😊💗💗💗

I was delighted to see you posted a video. Re not feeling well, my PCP, Cardiologist and Neurosurgeon said it seems I might have Long Covid. I wasn't aware that existed. It might be something to discuss with a physician or two. (I try to eat a piece of fruit or a salad at least 5 times a week. I have consumed a salad everyday for at least a month and fruit several times a week. It's a process.) I understand your recent creations do not make you as happy as some but I see beauty in them. I like the diversity in the designs. Asymmetrical is fun and unexpected. The longer necklace with the large, open circles adds a bit of drama and longer necklaces aka Sweater Necklaces can be slenderizing. (With that in mind I need to wear a jumprope around my neck!) The purple bracelet is unique and would be a beautiful stand-alone piece. The 3 strand bracelet is so Winona! That style always make me think of you. I could go on but it makes sense that when we feel poorly there's always a trickle-down impact. Enjoy your retreat! A nice getaway can refresh and be a much deserved change-of-pace. (We have already hit the 80⁰+ temperatures here. It's also muggy humid.) I look forward to fun stories re your retreat! Safe travels.

Thanks Faye, I have heard of long covid and I really hope that you are feeling okay. I am feeling much better the last few days but my iron is low so it will take a while before I lose the tiredness. I can't eat raw vegetables because my stomach is paralized and I really miss salads. Fruit doesn't seem to bother me as much but lettuce is a no no. Thanks for the input on the jewellery. I just didn't get as excited about it as I usually do. I can't wait for the retreat. This is my first time flying alone and I will be spending almost a week in Cincinnati. My mom is starting to get really worried and I wouldn't be suprised if she doesn't by a plane ticket and come along. We are always kids in our mom's eyes. As for the weather, it has been pretty cool here and seems to freeze most nights. I haven't even started working outside yet, its just too cold out. Thanks for your comments and hopefully I will get a video up soon. Take care my friend, 😊💗💗💗

Hi Winona. Sorry to hear you are feeling poorly but even so you made some pretty pieces again. Be well and enjoy your retreat. X x x

[@TheLeftHandedBeader]

Hi Kath, thanks, I am finally starting to feel better. My doctor and I think that I had covid. It seems there is always something waiting to take me down. Oh well, I am really looking forward to going to the retreat. It is my first time flying by myself and my mom is really worried. I keep telling her that I have to grow up sometime. Sending big hugs your way. 😊💗💗💗

Nice to see you again Winona, sound like you are very busy these days. I finally cancelled my BBB subscription, I haven’t gotten any for a year now and also haven’t been making any jewelry. Hope you’re feeling better now, take care Gail

[@TheLeftHandedBeader]

Thanks Gail, I have thought of cancelling it too because I am so behind but I enjoy doing videos. I keep hoping that I will find more time to bead again soon. Take care my friend 😊💗💗💗
