New Beginning

Just finished the last auction for 2008, it'll start tonight on ebay.

I had a very exciting year, maybe the most exciting und unexpected year of my life so far (both, in good and bad ways). I know exactly how I felt on the last 31th december. I was very unhappy with my current situation and knew that I have to make a few changes and that it will take a lot of power and will bring me into unknown and uncomfortable situations. But I just had to do it and looking back on the last year with all that up and downs I feel so much better today than back then.

I wish you all a great start into 2009, and lots of love, health, power, money and happyness. Thank you so much for all those people who supported me this year and helped me having a great time, luv u all!

Hi everybody,

hope you're having a great christmas time so far.

I have good news though, I'll be coming back to Eugene/Oregon next year to teach again at the Eugene Glass School. The dates are 7th – 9th august or 14th – 16th august (two classes with the same lessons, so you can decide which date you prefer). To subscribe for my class please write to Samantha at info@eugeneglassschool.org or contact the Glass School for further information.

Merry Christmas

Hey everybody,

how can I start a blog like this and what is the sence in telling about what happed to me today? I don't know the answer, but somehow I want to talk about it. Maybe just to give that person, I don't even know, something like a tribute or better said an obituary.

I've been with a friend in Nuremberg for a few days and went there by train. Today I wanted to go home to Bamberg again and so I was at the trainstation, with my mind full of all those funny movies we've been watching and stories we've been talking about, while I was searching for the right platform where my train was leaving. When I came near my line 13 I saw a few ambulancemen there and a person lying on the floor. When I looked twice I recognized that the person was dead, he/she was covered with a white blanket ...

After all those thoughts which came to my mind – how did (s)he die (here at the trainstation right next to the stairs up or down to line 13), how old was (s)he, what did (s)he think when (s)he woke up this morning and does (s)he have family, how sad must his/her family feel to get that horrible information short before christmas – I felt just speechless.

Falling (new focal on Etsy)

Christmas is coming and I havn't bought a single present so far. I don't even have ideas for gifts. This morning when I woke up I thought "today is the day! I will do it, no matter how I feel..." – but it's raining outside and I have a bad cold since a few days, so I don't think that I will do christmas shopping today ... Let's go to the torch instead!

New Focals on Etsy

Enjoy!

It's Clear

Hope you had a great weekend.

"It's Clear" – on Ebay now.

Lovefield 2

On Ebay now!

I'm so excited ...

and I just can't hide it ... A very close friend of mine is opening her new bar tomorrow and I'm so looking forward to see the new place. Today I finished a pendant with a small blue heart bead with flowers on it as a lucky charm for her and I already packed it in so I can't show you a pic (sorry – but I have new beads on Etsy right now ...).

Lovefield

After a long Ebay break I'm starting a new auction this night. Hope you enjoy.
If the Ebay link on the side doesn't work go this way.

Glitter

Hey everybody, hope you had a great weekend and a wonderful monday so far. I was at my Yoga session this morning and got so energized by today's exercises. We were just streching our legs for about 2 hours and I really don't know why, but it felt good (besides the pain of course).

"Glitter" on Etsy now.

Freedom

A new set and two focals on Etsy now.

Thankful

Things that I'm thankful for this year:
• My ability of making most of the time the right choices
• New friends
• My Eugene Trip
• My new appartment
• Health

And what about you?

Waiting for the Sun

A friend of mine latley said to me "the colder it gets outide the more colorful your beads become". Well, I love and need colors around me all through the year, but especially when it's so cold and muddy outide.
