Lime & Lilac Rustic Neck Tease
It is raining - again. Everything is lush & green - too green. The only colour comes from a potted rhododendron. Each year I promise myself that I will plant bulbs but as the time for sinking them into the earth occurs at the same time as my seemingly seasonal blip, this job never gets done. As usual I say to myself that things will be different this year. I wonder.
Jean introduced me to Margot Potter of 'the Impatient Beader' and the 'Impatient Blogger' fame . She is lovely - like Jean she's a doll & I'll put money on her achieving super star status within a few years. If you have not yet treated yourself to one of her books I beg you to buy one. Likewise I urge you to have a look at any of Kathy Cano-Murillo's books too. Margot & Kathy's books are 'feel-good' publications. Even if you don't do any of the projects ( except you will because they're irresistible), the illustrations are fabulous & their prose has a deliciously inviting & witty air. It's akin to having a best friend working by your side. My good friend Emma Ralph also has this knack. Go to your favourite book store & look for all three of these ladies - I predict that you will be hooked within seconds. If you have a stinker of a day, run home from the office & immerse yourself in their books. The tension & stress will disappear in seconds - it works for me. I hope it helps you too.

Thank you. You are far too kind. It's an absolute pleasure to make your acquaintance.
Keep making gorgeous jewelry and maybe think about a book of your own one day...hmmm?
Warmest regards
Margot
Hi Jennifer!!
Thank you!! You are so awesome, what a happy pick-me-up for the day!! Your work is amazing, I'll be reading your blog all the time, I love it!!
Peace, love and glitter!
Kathy :-)
p.S. And thank you to Jean too!
You ladies have made my day, if not my week, if not my year! My blog is blessed!
You all possess a rare talent for communication. It goes beyond the ability to write well - at which of course you all excel! It's as if you're having a conversation with each of us - as if you had written your books & articles solely for each of your readers. Your personalities shine through and it's that plus your knowledge & fascinating ideas that mark you out as very special ladies & imaginative guides.
It's wonderful to have you by my side as I read your books & try out your ideas. The four of you ( Emma? Where's Emma?) are extremely good company - thank you for giving me so much pleasure!
