I've done a couple of beaded paintings this week & they are on Etsy. It is nice to get back to beading. I can't do it for as long a stretch as I used to - my eyes won't manage it - but I do still enjoy it. And these pieces are just small sweet little pieces you could give to someone to hang someplace where they will see it every day and think of you, or think that someone loves them, whether they are close or far away.

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”
― Louise Erdrich
