The Cranberry Bead Bag Project

This photo shows two of many attempts to get the exact color request of a friend I am making a beaded neckace for....for two years now. When I finally get it right I will consider it my little Sistine Chapel and breath a great sigh.

This week I need to get back to work on the cranberry bag project. This particular beginning may or may not be the part of my finished bag. My friend Jacquie has the patience of a saint. She is ever so kind about my delay. Perhaps that is because Jacquie is very creative. Creativity sometimes works out and sometimes does not. She does Improv Comedy (teaches) and the final product is over in a flash and will never be repeated again. However, my bead projects might just out-last the pyramids and will forever show my sucess or failure.
That idea is perhaps the very thing that is causing me to stumble all over a lot of my projects...I cannot let go of the outcome.

I am thankful that I still have the pep and desire to make a great cranberry bag for Jacquie. I am grateful I have a smidge of talent with which to do such a thing. I am also grateful the patience and kindness of friends.

I do, however, need to address this thing in me that says I must do everything to perfection.
