I was asked by one of the girls that take my beading classes at Heartland Artists Gallery to make her a cross choker that she could wear for her wedding in 2012. I thought I would be make a lot of cross chokers before she found one that she would like but I made two and showed them to her and she liked them and wanted the Holy Cross Choker for herself.

And Cross Choker for her brides maids. I had to make three of these.

What going on...

A while back I had mention that I had applied for two jobs. Was hoping to get the one that was only 10 minute drive from my house, but never got an interview although I had to fill out tons of paper work. I did get the job that is 45 minutes from my house and last week I spent Mon-Fri driving back and forth to Fort Wayne for 8.5 hour classes, which made it 12 hour days with the drive there and back. So I watched the sunrise every morning on my drive there and the sunset every eve on my drive home. It was a LONG week.

But I passes all my classes and I start my new job tomorrow. I'll be working in a group home. So, please pray for me. I was so glad that when we did the "I'm safe, your safe" class that my partner was an experience employee that was there for refresher class that you have to do every year.

Well that what I've been up to. Hope everything is going well for you and yours.

Congrats on getting the job! It's a long commute -- I used to do one like that, but at least it's a job. Right?

Beautiful beading, and love the colors in your xs piece.

love the stitching and the beading. Congrats on the new job. Don't worry...once you get the hang of it, those kids will be a piece of cake. Develop a tough skin because sometimes they say things they don't mean and shouldn't say
