I will be sending this jewelry set out to my sweet friend,
Bren, soon!
And after my having a major "uh oh" in the creative process, let me tell you that Bren is not only sweet, but she is also a very gracious woman!
You see, I created the entire necklace and the earrings
in the wrong color!!!
When I finally realized it, I moved heaven and earth to find the right colors and make another set. When I told her what I had done, she wasn't even offended; and was very kind.
What a good friend!
The thing is...I can't even blame this on old age - I'm only 42!!!
The only thing I could think of was that the pain I've been in lately must've muddled my brain and thinking processes far more than I realized!
So, they say confession is good for the soul...so I should be feeling "less stupid" really soon, then, right??? I certainly hope so!!!
God says that He gives us beauty for ashes. (Isaiah 61:3) That brings up such great pictures in my mind. And so, out of my mistake, I have an extra necklace. I've added some things to it, and posted it on my Etsy shop. I am hoping that it sells. Doug says it may be the prettiest thing I've done yet. He's a little biased, I think, but I'll take it!!!
My pain level seems to have "leveled" out these days. I wish I could say that it's disappeared, but not yet. My doctor did say that I could continue the muscle relaxers, with no ill effects, so I am doing that. They do seem to help a little bit.
Isaac had a FABULOUS day at therapy yesterday! We are finally starting to see some of the things that he was doing before he became so ill with the seizures early in 2007. It is exciting to see progress again. It has been a long road of recovery for those skills. It's amazing how the human brain can relearn those things! Praise the Lord for that!
I pray that you all have a great weekend.

Oh, the necklace and earrings turned out beautifully! Your work is fantastic!
Hooray for Isaac!
Well mistake or not they are BEAUTIFUL!!!!! :))) Don't forget the meds (pain and muscle relaxers) can muddle your brain so I would blame them! :)
Yay for Isaac!!!!!! GREAT news!!!!
What a lovely set. I know that Bren will be so pleased.
Dancing a jig for Isaac's successes.
wow, very pretty!! and yay for Isaac!
Don't you just hate "oopsies"?! This set turned out just as lovely as the first. :)
I'm so glad that Isaac is making progress. :)
BEAUTIFUL!! The set is simply beautiful!!! Now I am headed to your store to take a look see
Yay! for therapy successes. It is so much fun and so worth all the extra when you see progress!! Josh was not thrilled with therapy (OT) yesterday. We were working hard on a new skill - asking for something - and he felt that playing ball without asking was a much better idea. He is progressing, but he's fighting it tooth and nail all the way...silly boy! I will tell him Isaac is being good and making progress, maybe that will help
OH~ I was just over to your shop. PRETTY PRETTY!!! I sent the like to Jerry
IF, he would happen to contact you... I need it to be a little bit longer 
@MOM2_4 - Ok! LOL!!! Good to know! Now that I've subscribed to his blog, he can just message me about it. You'll have to drop that hint, too!!!
@ObtainingMercy - We have an anniversary coming up. I showed him the pretties. He ask where the site was. He ask how one would pay. I'll pass on the hint that he can message you, too. I love him, but he needs many hints sometimes
I will never forget the Christmas when I was hinting ladies unmentionables and he got me an electric knife 
That is some gorgeous jewelry! You have quite the talent.
Yay for Isaac! I'm sure that was exciting for his mom and dad to see. :)
