ETSY Beadweavers Challenge - September Indian Summer

So wow! Look at these beautiful entries in the September beadweavers challenge on Esty. Be sure to vote! 33 entries - that's fantastic. Go to our site to see more details at http://etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com/. Voting begins on Sept 9th! Want a shortcut? Go to www.etsy.com and enter "EBWC" into the search field. That will bring up all of the entries and you can just hop thru them.

Looks like creativity is in the air. I'll be conducting 2 beading classes in October at The Wooden Cow Gallery in Albuquerque. I've got folks signed up in both and am really looking forward to them. One is a beadwoven bracelet (taught to me by Carol Cypher at Bead and Button!) and the other is a needle-felted bead necklace.

I've ordered my "Use the Muse III" kit and can't wait to see what's inside. Be sure to get yours before they disappear. You can order them through Scarlett's site.

I'm hoping to hear from Jeanette Shanigan soon about the annual Breast Cancer quilt project that she sponsors every year...I wonder what the theme will be this year.

On more serious matters, the recent news of Jaycee Dunbar has struck a chord, perhaps because she was abucted on my birthday in 1991. The Soroptimist International of South Lake Tahoe has set up a fund to help Jaycee and her family, and those wishing to donate can do so at the address below:

My Tarot Card

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
