My Mom

I've started many things in my life...I have quit many things in my life. I guess I have always wanted to be known as creative, my mother was an artist, a somewhat kookie artist (is there any other kind?.) I've fought my creativity because of my mother and not wanting to be like her in some aspects. This week I cut my hair short and I'm selling some of my creative pieces of glass and other goodies at a sale. It has brought back so many memories for me of my mom making jewelry and selling it on the Queen Mary. My brothers and sisters and I would help her make it. We would go visit her at the Queen Mary - it was an old cruise ship that was docked in Long Beach Harbor she eventually had to get a job there and quit making her jewelry because it didn't pay the bills. I can still remember the smells of that old boat.

I make jewelry and have short hair...but I'm not my mom.
