Well, I think I am beginning to see some light at the end of the tunnel. My sister and I have the probate papers for my Dad's estate, and the house is sold, to be completed on September 28th. Now all we have to do is get everything ready for the accountant to do up Dad's final income tax. However several of the places we need T4's from, don't do them up until February 2013 - so there isn't much we can do with that right now.
I have started some tentative torching lately, and I'm really enjoying it. I was worried that I wouldn't want to go back to it after all the depression and lack of drive over the last few months. However, I was cleaning up some papers and came across my notes from Melanie Moertel's class at Red Deer College, Alberta in 2010. It got me really inspired and I have been playing around with her ladybugs and her little wish fairy beads from my class notes. The following photos are some of the results of these fun play days.

I purchased Melanie's tutorial for making the bail/pendant, and have used it on the last bead - which I am going to keep for myself.
I have lots of orders piled up and hope to get to them soon - thank you to all of you who have been waiting so patiently for me to get back to the torch.

Love the new beads especially the lady bugs. Be kind to yourself over the next while.
I am glad that you are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Your little people are really cute and skillfully done. I hope to see you at the Filberg Festival this week end but if I don't take care and fire up.
