to concentrate myself on one project, when there are so
many things need to be done. So, sometimes I find myself
out of focus.
Then I realized, I need some kind of order to get things
done. Sometimes the most boring and unbeloved things
like ironing or washing dishes can help me to get focused
again. This time it's spooling the thread I use for my
packaging (up till now I had to search the end of the
thread in the chaos, if I forgot to let it hang out after
I cut a piece of it). It's kind of a meditation (and sport
for the biceps LOL).
Last task for today was listing my new Trifiori necklace.
I don't know why I didn't make the necklace earlier.
Probably because I didn't want to let loose the beads.
I love the colors so much and I was afraid, I couldn't
re-make them. I've been wanting to make them ever
since I watched the France film Brodeuses (Perlen-
stickerinnen in German), but I couldn't find the right
glass colors (now you might understand my obsession
in mixing blue and green glass last autumn ;)).
So, today is the day. Today I'm ready to let the beads
go. I might not be able to re-make them. But I'm sure,
there will be many other beautiful colors to come.
Have a beautiful weekend, friends!

HI Devi: First of all, the necklace is beautiful..as are the beads in it!! And, I am smiling as I read your posting as I could have written those same words..and for me organizing helps me focus, too!
I totally agree with you about being out of focus when there are too many things to do...writing a list of things helps me sometimes :) But you just hit the spot I also do cleaning to clear my head and get focused! We are similar!
I really love your new necklace, so pretty as always my dear friend!
Oh and by the way, I made my first Treasury East!! It's here:

I hope you're having a wonderful weekend too! Hugs!
I never knew your flowers begin with beads! But I know what you mean about hanging onto things like that.
I also understand the need for order. I enjoyed cleaning up a work table this week. Trouble is-- I didn't want to work on it because I know how messy I am. *sigh* It's a vicious circle for me!
Going to check out that movie now...
p.s. get out that Art Clay silver! I want to see what you do with it!!
Guess, my current confusion can't get in order by ironing. But... luckily we are two, that helps a lot.
We totally understand your love for some of your work, which can't make you give it free for sale... That happens, why we have a stock of around 30 dolls and only 6 are listed... Sometimes it's easier to sell these dolls face to face... So, our task to work on is... let some of them go...
They are really very special! Devi I like the way you get focused:-)
