Tue Aug 23 18:13:38 UTC 2011

Please, please change subject lines when you change topic in emails.   We 
went from weight loss to beading and what is encrusted bead work in this  
email.

Please take the time to change the subject lines for folks to follow  
emails.

Lynda,

>From what I can see, your work is  beautiful!  However, can you explain to 
me
what encrusted bead work  is.  All this time I thought you were talking 
about
clay that you were  "encrusting" with beads, but these amulets  don't appear
to be made of  clay.

Blessings,

Denise, it works for me! lol
Losing  weight is not an easy job - and it is a full time job that never 
ends. I  have my own battles with that, too. Even thought I am a life long  
vegetarian, most folks do not realize that vegetarians also have weight  
issues. I exercise at least three days a week at the gym, and I love to  
exercise AFTER it is finished because my day goes 100 percent better, I am  
energized, my mind is clearer, and I just feel so much more positive about  
everything. But the hard part is getting UP and getting my shoes on and  
actually leaving the house. I am very lucky because the gym is just a  
short 
walk from my house, but I could not do it without the help of my  husband 
because I would have to cross a very busy road and of course I  cannot see 
to

do that. But, my gym is wonderful. After I lost my sight,  the owner of the 
gym visited me, brought me a talking watch, and some  other things she 
thought might help me. And, when I was ready to come back  to the gym, she 
went around and helped me figure out how I can use it  without sight. We 
put 
bump dots on some things, like the StairMaster so I  could know where the 
controls were and do it myself. I have no problem  with the free weights as 
I

can easily feel them, and they are always in  their exact spot on the rack, 
so I need to help with anthing at the gym at  all and many people who do 
not 
know me never suspect I cannot see them  except for their shadow presence.

I can recommend a very wonderful  nutrition program that is available in a 
book - for those who want more  than just a little bit of exercise. I 
absolutely love the book _Body for  Life_ by Bill Phillips. It is a more 
intensive but not difficult program -  it is cardio three days a week, and 
upper/lower body work out three days a  week.  This is my favorite program, 
and I started using it about 9  years ago. But it IS an intensive program 
and

not for anyone who is not  really serious about becoming FIT for life. It 
is 
called a "High Intensity  Interval Training program." That's your clue. haha

As for  crafting:  I am working all day, every day right now making  
encrusted

beadworked talismans for my one person show at a  gallery/museum that will 
open on Sept. 9. I will attach two photos of  recent ones, for those who 
can 
see with adaptive equipment such as  zoomtext. With the show only 2 weeks 
away, I still have lots of STITCHING  to do yet.  We hang the show next 
week - I try not to even think  about it, but just kekep my nose to the 
BEADS.
