As I crochet each bead, I feel quietness coming over me bit by bit (or should I say bead by bead?!), draining away the tension and stress of raising children and running a household.<BR/><BR/>I write Chinese characters in a note book for my son to practise each week for his weekly Chinese spelling test. And writing them stroke by stroke in the correct proportion is precious serenity for a few moments. A serene mind creates perfect & proportionate characters. How appropriate that you use Chinese characters for your Serenity pendants!Barefoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928299345773651985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-60466720429623071622008-04-29T13:01:00.000-04:002008-04-29T13:01:00.000-04:00Serenity is working with my horses, especially gro...Serenity is working with my horses, especially grooming. There is something about the non-verbal communication you get with physical contact. And there's nothing like the cosmic connection you get with animals and nature to get that feeling all is well. Of course fondling your favorite bead can be almost as comforting. Just writing about it all makes me relax:)<BR/>Your pendants are great!Carlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17052412384877288768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-19690917462974410912008-04-28T14:27:00.000-04:002008-04-28T14:27:00.000-04:00Warm coffee on a cold day.

I find I use all of my senses- hearing the sounds of the birds, smelling the magnolia trees that line my street, seeing all of the blooms, feeling my thigh muscles getting stronger as I hike up the hills in my neighborhood! lol<BR/>Melanie, your pendants are beautiful and I'd be so honored to win one!Lorelei Eurtohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17330882921799083271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-35494063639652905412008-04-27T12:43:00.000-04:002008-04-27T12:43:00.000-04:00Serenity?

It is the best time for me to relax and let my inspirations flow, it is then that I usually make my most interesting pieces~my creativity flows as water flows. Serenity also is with me when I am designing a piece that will be a gift~I desire that person to be happy. Friday, I had the opportunity to bead on the beach, surely, that was very serene.gaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06808941606042381327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-47724809397901245072008-04-27T01:52:00.000-04:002008-04-27T01:52:00.000-04:00Hagen Daaz's limited edition Caramelized Pear and ...Hagen Daaz's limited edition Caramelized Pear and Toasted Pecan ice cream, a cold beer (pale ale to be particular), and a worthwhile project in front of me.Andrew Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191233443131580096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-13850953992697131302008-04-26T23:55:00.000-04:002008-04-26T23:55:00.000-04:00I love the pendants!

Although I'm more likely to watch the movie than actually enjoy a moment of peace and quiet. <BR/><BR/>I find I'm most at peace near water, the beach will always feel like home. Creating projects just for myself is another source of peace. <BR/><BR/>Now I'm off to check out your website. I need one of these.

Amazing on so many levels. :)<BR/><BR/>I take my serenity day by day.
