I too have the "rules", did we read the same handbook? I too am on a journey to recovery after several hospital stays last year. I too struggle with finding my muse (haven't yet). I just started beading in December and can't stop. I'm trying to make it enjoyable by letting myself wander. I found a wonderful project called the 365 A Day project where you make something every day for a year. I am doing that with beading and it is keeping it fresh and alive for me, since the only expectation is a little swatch a day. I hope to read more of your adventures in beading. Just string that bead, come on, you can do it... :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275965613636491323.post-90668830180500098062011-02-25T18:43:47.511+01:002011-02-25T18:43:47.511+01:00Thank you so much girls for visiting me so quickly...Thank you so much girls for visiting me so quickly!<br />@susan: you are absolutely right... just starting with one is challenge enough. Not forcing myself in yet another "you gotta finish this..."-project.<br />@Dot: learning to love ourselves, that's what it is all about right? Maybe strange, but reading that even accomplished beader like yourself struggles with this kind of things makes me feel better.<br />@Carol: we will see!

I still was beading & creating, but for me forcing myself to finish the BJP was not the answer. I put everything in a box & maybe someday will finish 2010. But for now, I have no rules, I just bead what I want, create what I can & just learn to love myself.<br />dotflyingbeaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552477017906406473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275965613636491323.post-72359120573632667992011-02-24T23:16:05.708+01:002011-02-24T23:16:05.708+01:00First of all, I love no rules. And I have decided...First of all, I love no rules. And I have decided to call all of my bjp projects -- simply, bead journals -- I have no intention of doing one per month. That doesn't suit me. But bead journaling does suit me.<br /><br />I can't tell you how excited I was to see that you had posted today. Just showing up is the most important thing. Just show up.<br /><br />And one warning...I think I smell another "rule" -- making dolls for ALL your inner voices? Why not start with one...and see where it leads.<br /><br />Just Bead. Just Be.<br /><br />Big, warm welcome-back hugs, <br />SusanSusan Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18094024834053351944noreply@blogger.com
