What a sweet heart you are. Thank you so much. I truely know about loss of mobility and eyesight. Arthritis is setting in and I use a magnifying lamp to do most all fo my projects and I am trying to get as much done as I can before I can't do it any more. I used to paint too but now its the baskets and beading my gourds and cross stitch. I have one gourd left to finish before I pass and it is a life time goal to complete it. I will show you what I mean.
Thank you so much for your generosity Marian.
These are tiny beads that I apply one at a time with a needle and I push them into the wax that I have covered the gourd with. So you can see that I have a lot to complete.
