Well, the past few months have been hard, very hard for me!  I have had a lot more stress in my life than i normally do.  Ive had a home sale, renters who damaged my home i moved back to totalling 38k, and a bunch of lies told by my realtor to the new owners of our previous home, who in turn have been creating quite a bit of grief in our lives.  HOWEVER, and I say that with moxy!  However, I refuse to continue to carry this stress any longer!  Ive always been a pretty nice person who in turn loves to be nice to other people in life.  Its not that i have to, its that i want to.  I love to give, i love to laugh, i love to be a good person.  A decent person and quite frankly its very hard to understand when people are just not good, not considerate and caring!  I have been disappointed in people in general!  I have been searching for a better outcome to the last few months and i decided that with the help of God and my decision to be positive that I am in control of ME, and whatever anyone does, however angry anyone is, I do not have to give in to that, I can simply pray for them and let it go!  Even though there has been injustice that could have been worked out by talking, communicating even an eensy teensy bit, I am going to accept it and just move on.  So there, Ive said it, and Im moving on, whew, that feels good!  I will hope for anger in others to move on as well, it really is damaging and I have life to get back to.  I have a wonderful husband, two beautiful daughters and three furry little guys with four legs in my life and that really is all that matters, not being right!!! 

Ok the positives, i have lost 10 pounds, yay, my studio is back, yay, my new home feels cozy just like it did all the previous years i lived in it, yay, my neighbors are the same and have missed me as much as i have missed them, yay, i have alot less house to clean, yay, i have the front porch i always loved with the birch tree that always has birds in it, yay, the kids next door buzzing around, yay and last but certainly not least, I have great friends who love me and I them!!!

Peace!!!

Ok, this week was all of our birthdays!  Mine and Annas is on the same day and Amandas is two days later!!   It was a crazy week and due to some crazy unforseen circumstances (that id rather not discuss on this blog), my studio is not back up and running yet!  I am extremely frustrated because i have orders, the yelton case probably looks vacant and i just generally do not know what to do with myself.  I have never been away from creating for sooooo long.  I crave the fire and the glass and quite frankly the magic it makes in my life!!!  This has been the longest 8 months of my life and it has taken a toll on me.  This weekend is THE weekend that it should all be happening, as far as putting it together!  I cannot wait to sit down, look around and heave a heavy sigh as i light my torch for the first time!  Im full of ideas but i do not know quite how to separate them all so that my first few beads do not end up looking like a crazy glass salad with no apparent direction!  Oh well, it is part of my story this year and if that happens than there will be some crazy names attached as well!  Im going back to trying to get some pictures up on my walls and other stuff that has been hiding away in a corner because a heavy, in the way box took precedence over it!!  Anyhoo, moving on, moving on!!  stay tuned

Oh yeahhh, oh yeahhh, the move is complete, the house is sold, closed and Vegas was relaxing if you can believe that!  I am in the mood for beads now, soooooo in the mood for beads.  I feel the need to express myself in this post with many letters following how excited i am to get back at it!!

So this is what i have had on my brain.  Lots of color, lots of murrini beads that you will never see anyone else make, lots of new Vera patterns for fall and of course some that go with the summer collection as well.  Im in love with the fall patterns and colors, oh my the ones with the olive colors and loving the black with the primary colors.  Oh and the one with the blue/brown with a school bus yellow color????  Are you all excited as well?  Please get your orders in!!!  Im ready to take off and make my best beads to date, well, once i wake up these rusty fingers!!  So start making some buzz at Yelton’s would ya?

Ok, Im loving color, my puppy, my new home (or my old home which ever), a good dark beer or bloody mary, sunkissed tan, my family, my new outlook on life and sitting by the pool reading a great book!!!!  Tell me what you love……..

Peace
