Just A Day Like Any Other

Today was "Just a day Like Any Other….." I don't mean that in a facetious, redundant, arrogant way.  I just like you…… conquered the day. I worked on several wristlets clutches. This one is designed with some of the beautiful sari trim I found over the weekend….. Spoke with some European connections on 3 different design logos for the bags……… Found some embellishment elements that I cleaned out my L.A. resource on….. and they didn't remember where they purchased them…….. chatted with friends on the many challenges of raising kids….. and had a fabulous dinner. With its many facets of the day I just reminded myself…… "Today Was Just Like Any Other……."

It feels like Spring.....

                                              

Well.... It feels a bit like spring is upon us. I'm working on current orders with some new additions to my accessory line. Here's a sample.........

Beating to a Different Drum.....

These past few months has had me thinking back into the past. My family has never been and never will be thought of as normal examples. As far as I can remember my family was always about "making a difference". My Grandfather, was an engineer without formal training. As a Senior Master Sargent.... in the Air-Force. He worked on, and perfected the "release mechanisms" on the B-52 bomber. My Grandmere after being a Housewife of 33 years, went to college at the age of 53 to earn her BA and taught English as a Second Language in a private University. My Mother was very prominent in her day, over achieving what was not expected of the time including a Masters in Nutrition. My Aunt (who has since past) has/had earned more Masters (3 to be exact) to choke a horse--- from Ivy league Universities including Berkely!!!!!!!--- And then there's me..... Well....... let's just say.... I aspire to do my VERY BEST to be my own individual as I was created to be. I'm thankful that I was taught to beat to a different drum..... Grandmere would sometimes use a bit of Choctow----ism (I call it..... apparently pow-wows were used to get things off your chest......... I LOVED to hear these Stories from my Great Cousin Vietta who past 2 years ago)----------"if you see your beats close to another...... it's time to refocus, regather, and slow the rhythm......" As I've said before.... I aspire to be the leading voice not the broke record.....

Put The Pieces Together.....

I've been playing a bit of "Catch Up" the past few weeks.... Having to deal with early A.M. and late P.M...... However, I'm 2 seconds away from being caught up..... So I thought I would share this wonderful video
