Vibrant Women

To make it easier for everyone to play, tell us a bit about you: what do you like? What do you like to do, that you would like to share or give or offer to others? It could be something intangible, like a listening ear, or perhaps it could be some of the vegetables you grow in your garden, a chapter you wrote or song you want to brighten someone's day with... (Almost)anything goes~!
Post it right here and then add another message about what you would like to receive or have help with...

Looking forward to what will develop,

My first official experience was lovely and I ywanted to share it here. One of the things I like to do is make jewelry. I enjoy beading and occasional wrapping of pendants, etc.
A friend of mine had seen a recent necklace I had made for another friend's 40th Birthday. My friend really liked it and asked if I would be able to help her. She had a pendant, which had come off a very old necklace. Attached as she was to the pendant, she had put it on a little ribbon, which just didn't do it justice. She showed it to me: it was enameled terracotta with an image of a rose. Very soft and lovely.
I took the pendant to the local bead store, aptly called 'Bead It' and found the perfect beads to go with it. After I showed my friend some possible designs, I strung the necklace and brought the finished product to her. My friend wasn't there when I dropped it off. What a surprise when I saw her a little later: she was wearing the necklace and was so happy with it. She was simply glowing!

A lovely experience for me! Which turned even more sweet when she told me she loves to sew and suggested that she'd be glad to fix any clothing that might have a hole in them. And that is just perfect, because there has been this one little thing on my list, rather low on my list of priorities, that will now have the opportunity to finally get fixed...
