She Made~She Made February and Thursday's Thing* and, well, just read on!

Today's She Made~She Made Challenge is taking the place of Thursday's Thing * .
Or maybe, it is one and the same.  My Thursday's Thing* is my friendship with Therese.  What a difference she has made in my life.  Her warmth, concern, humor, eye candy, gentle push to try new things...all these things have helped me grow and have made me a bit more brave and a lot kinder to myself.  I love her more than beads. 

Therese picked these beads for February ~  fire cracked agate and Juli Cannon's Studio Juls heart. 

First up is my fire cracked agate.  Again, I apologize for the photos.  Still No Freakin' Sun in these parts.

I fought the urge to use bronze with these and instead used a matte grey, metallic green and a pea green pearl.  I am contemplating doing it over in bronze though.  I think I went grey because Every Darn Thing in my life if currently grey.  There has been nothing but grey skies and white on the ground for what seems like For-Freakin'-Ever.  I go back and forth with really liking it and wanting to go bronze.  Thoughts?

 Next is the heart.  I have to be honest here.  The second I saw the heart, I thought two things.

The first thought was:
   (get ready to Squeal, Bobbie!)

The second thought was, this heart would become a mascot in my workshop.  Here she is:

 

She now hangs out with Vincent, my Frog, my other little Lady, and a few hundred Rocks.  I gave her a full head of hair that still allows her fat bottom to show.  I had so much fun making her!

I am running right over to Therese's Treasures now to see if Therese was a bit more tasteful and respectful of her heart :-)


One last thing to tell you...tomorrow, Therese and I will be announcing our next A Time to Stitch Hop, so please check back in to see what stitches are in this hop and to sign up if you want.

Thanks for stopping by :-)  Happy Thursday!




*Appreciate what you have.  Want for less...unless it is beads or music.
