Time flies
Dear blog reader,
It has been an incredibly long time since my last message. Spring was coming, and now it is the end of Summer already! I took a break from my beloved hobby, with the intention to start afresh in the Autumn. There was one request, though, and with great pleasure I made two necklaces for a very nice lady, the mother of 2 friends of mine. Her birthday was coming up, and she wanted a necklace to go with a new blouse, so I had specific colour requests. No one was sure about the length, so I made two different ones.
Not only in length, but also in the pattern of the beads. One with a floral pattern, the other more marble-like. This way there was choice.
The small black beads are also made by hand, and I added small glass beads in between.
I sent them by post, and in the meantime went on holiday.
At the end of my holiday I received an email with the message that mother liked both necklaces very much and her sons had given her both for her birthday. They matched the blouse, that I had not seen prior, very well. That was lucky! The response was so enthousiastic and thankful, it made me blush and I felt privileged and proud at the 'job' well done.
This gives me courage to pick up where I left off, and hopefully keep improving along the way. Thank you, dear friends, for giving me this opportunity!
