Will you be back in Santa Cruz? I hope you'll take a few days to make those little side trips to Europe before you come back--a bird in the hand you know! I think the worldwide economy has thrown alot of us in turmoil, but I agree that each day is a new adventure. We can take it as it comes, with a zest for life, and looking at the 'cup half full' and be happy. So, you're off on the next leg of "Jelveh's Big Adventure". Here's hoping the best is yet to come--and with you're attitude, I'm counting on it!<BR/><BR/>RickieRickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13267166005955478634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-542779016064244100.post-79891303679554583592009-01-28T16:24:00.000-08:002009-01-28T16:24:00.000-08:00Hey Nicole, you must have left a message when I wa...Hey Nicole, you must have left a message when I was leaving mine...yup a bunch of my clients, students, friends and family feel exactly as you do about us coming back...even the manger of the place where my studio used to be, sent an email saying anytime you want to come back your studio is yours again...<BR/>thanks for the kind words about the beads too, it is a hit with everyone...oh yeah the packing, we have already started...its been fun in the studio as I find all kinds of cool notes and ideas I had at one time and now I get to follow through with...life is good<BR/><BR/>Jelveh<BR/>Peacejelveh Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15242999307073825292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-542779016064244100.post-9829634477953341692009-01-28T16:07:00.000-08:002009-01-28T16:07:00.000-08:00Suzi----I so remember not shipping by mail my pres...Suzi----I so remember not shipping by mail my presses and having to wait for them last time we moved, this time I am mailing them so I will get them with the rest of my small studio, like one torch, one concentrator & my big kiln, tools and glass, thanks for reminding me girl...wish you could come and visit, you are welcome to come between now and when we leave...<BR/><BR/>Ginny girl---yup life does things in its own way, we have always just gone with it and came out good on the other end...the family is so happy we are coming back, my friends are already planning parties and road trips...we are trying to see and do as much as we can before we leave here...wait till I tell you what we did this coming weekend...glad you got the fish, although Martin might have had me cancel the sell had it not been you...<BR/><BR/>JozD---sorry to hear about he snow, wow that is so much, here is snowed a couple of times but never enough to stick around for more than a couple of hours...<BR/>yup the job thing is just a job, life is good & we will be fine...thanks for the good words...oh yeah the bead, I did have fun making it, and I was going to list it on etsy but the photos were being stubborn, only got this one good one from it and I though this means this bead goes to the giveaway...glad you like it...<BR/><BR/>Sue---Both my father and hubby's dad were in the military, we are both the Colonels kids and both our families moved many times, year after year, hubby's more than mine...both his mom and my mom said they knew how I felt and I will survive it...course as kids we remember all the moves too...we will try and see some cool place before we leave for sure...<BR/>Speaking of diets, when I find out I am going to be away from my torch for a while, I go on a melting glass binge, and not the food ones like I used to, so I should have some yummy beads to entice you with...<BR/><BR/>Libbie---sending all kinds of good feeling and thoughts your way, I know all will be well both with the health the financial stuff, just remember it will be good...<BR/>I am not sure about Florida not having as good weather as California, there is that whole storm thing that happens there, but then we have quakes to deal with, I remember being 10 miles away from the epicenter of the 1989quake...I guess there is good and bad issues with all places...<BR/>I went back and looked at the bead, and I think you are right, it does have a cool/warm Cali/England feel to it...hang in there...<BR/><BR/>Lisa D---you know how I feel about the people who abuse and use other people, like these idiots and our tax dollars...what goes around comes around...I mean c'mon a $1400.00 paper basket, or as the English say Rubbish Bin...?

Well what can you do? Just go with the flow...the Universe oviously wants to spread your talnets all aroung the world. I just saw the Caulder exhibit at the Whitney Museum in NYC...your bead reminds me a little of it... the childlike colors all swirled together remind me of his childrens' toys and circus models and the spiral reminds me of his wire sculptures.<BR/><BR/>It's a beautiful bead.<BR/>namste,<BR/>StephaniAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-542779016064244100.post-43890325128670693122009-01-28T11:58:00.000-08:002009-01-28T11:58:00.000-08:00jelveh, i am so sorry to hear about the job situat...jelveh, i am so sorry to hear about the job situation; very stressful times. it's dreadful opening the newspaper each morning because it lists the latest wave of job cuts. then hearing that $35,000 of bailout money was spent on a commode; an office remodel!! i know you will make it through; you are one of the strongest, most resilient women i know. it will be good to have you back though. i especially like the colors of this focal; sweet enough to eat! maybe a silk ribbon for a pendant. kind regards, lisa d., portland, oregonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-542779016064244100.post-35905923815539711472009-01-28T11:07:00.000-08:002009-01-28T11:07:00.000-08:00Hi Jelveh,Welcome back to California! The weather...Hi Jelveh,<BR/>Welcome back to California! The weather is definitely better here than in Florida (at least Miami which is where I spent my first 18 years). It sounds like you had some great experiences in England, but I understand how hard it would be to move all your stuff back. <BR/>Life is a little difficult right now, both financially and health wise, but hopefully things will get better soon and I'll be able to buy some nice beads, such as yours. By the way, your new bead kind of reminds me of California one one side and England on the other!<BR/>Best wishes for an easy move!<BR/>LibbieLibbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06182596662288244443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-542779016064244100.post-53088638976435210842009-01-28T09:17:00.000-08:002009-01-28T09:17:00.000-08:00Hi Jelveh,Life happens...doesn't it! I rememb...Hi Jelveh,<BR/><BR/>Life happens...doesn't it! I remember getting the call to move home unexpectantly when we were on assignment and having the same thoughts. If we had known we would have seen more of the world while we had the chance. We missed the Taj, thinking there was another trip to India in the works before we went home & fall is the best time to see it. Know what, I haven't missed it, home is the best place especially with family to surround you. <BR/><BR/>I wish I wasn't on a strict bead diet, I absolutely love the pink focal you have listed this week. Your talent continues to reach new levels. <BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/>SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14026193905526376526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-542779016064244100.post-53027252149498520312009-01-28T08:28:00.000-08:002009-01-28T08:28:00.000-08:00Hi Jelveh ~ Sorry to hear about your hubby's ...Hi Jelveh ~ Sorry to hear about your hubby's job :( As they say, when one door closes, another one opens. I wish you & your family the best! <BR/><BR/>I think this week's bead is just gorgeous! You are so talented that I am sure you will find studio space when you get back to California. <BR/><BR/>At the rate it's been snowing here in Cleveland, Ohio we will probably break the record for Snowiest January. Thankfully your beads add some sunshine and color to my world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-542779016064244100.post-65562595346839818602009-01-28T08:09:00.000-08:002009-01-28T08:09:00.000-08:00Hi Jelveh:So you are moving back to California; li...Hi Jelveh:<BR/>So you are moving back to California; life does take strange turns and throws curve balls sometimes.
