After your decision not to make beads I counted how many I have to use. I have 12 beads, buttons, and sets. I also have several sets of the small spacer beads. I have given a few away to my best friend and my sister. I am really glad I bought what I did when I did. You are a talented artist. I will miss your beads and at the same time I wish you the best of success with the cookbook.

I enjoy reading your blog and hope you will continue. I look forward to your recipes - I'm having food allergy issues and am always looking for alternatives.<br />If you still do jewelry - you may consider satisfying those that are asking you to make beads again by incorporating some of them into your new jewelry adventure!<br /><br />Good luck on your journey - wherever it takes you!angel64https://www.blogger.com/profile/16544218755563778544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364444313031366135.post-42673944628815239442011-03-28T17:19:28.900-07:002011-03-28T17:19:28.900-07:00I for one will continue to read your bloggy advent...I for one will continue to read your bloggy adventures even though I am not a vegan. I think your cooking book idea is great. Check out the site Cookus Interruptus ( a big hit) and Cynthia Laird's book: Feeding the Whole Family. Both great for encouraging people lik me me to cook and eat whole foods.Good luck.

I've decided that my jewelry making will be for my creative outlet, and gifts for friends and family. I won't rule out being in a gallery again, but I don't want to have to rely on that to pay the bills. Can't wait for the book or blog or however you decide to present it!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17449102932046001567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364444313031366135.post-17391126019876105312011-03-28T15:05:09.990-07:002011-03-28T15:05:09.990-07:00We all travel our own roads.Along the way we get t...We all travel our own roads.Along the way we get to checking out the scenery ,rest stops, bumps and turns on our personal journeys.<br />What I love about blogs and internet friends in general, is that I get to have a look at a bit of the scenery ,rest stops ,bumps etc someone else is experiencing on their trip through life. <br />I've been tuning in for your beads,rv's , then jewelry.I want to know what happens next in your journey!!!<br />Please keep writing.I want to keep reading !<br />Cheers to you and your cooking adventure !!!<br />m.e . :Dm.e.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15217631585608187053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364444313031366135.post-15624371058722783742011-03-28T13:50:03.839-07:002011-03-28T13:50:03.839-07:00Kim...I think the "fork" is apprapo...I ...Kim...I think the "fork" is apprapo...I love the idea and the leading of your heart. I have long thought that you should be writing more...a book...of sorts...Now think of Julia Child in a more of a vegan/spiritual/whimsical sort of way filled with all of your delightful musings. I believe in it so much I am going send you money for a book that is not even published be cause I want to put that out into the universe for you. I will get your address offline...I am serious about this and I hope others will find their own way to support you in this endeavor...PeaceUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14957949108809862453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364444313031366135.post-71501155300780337212011-03-28T11:47:03.944-07:002011-03-28T11:47:03.944-07:00Kim, honestly, I've been wondering when you we...Kim, honestly, I've been wondering when you were going to write a cookbook. Kind of waiting for it.<br /><br />When may I pre-order my copy? I would recommend that you consider awarding yourself the opportunity to self-publishing a signed, special first edition. You can always sell the book to a publisher if you want to, but how much better to sell a finished work that your team of friends, fans, and supporters helped fund, than get a contract and write a book that a publisher thinks will Sell?<br /><br />It's a fine idea to consider pre-orders an advance, in lieu of a check from Random House. And you don't have to be apologetic if the work takes you a year or more, as long as you are clear when you accept pre-orders what the deal is.<br /><br />In point of fact, there are thousands of people who want you to succeed, and will fund whatever adventure you decide to embark on. And who doesn't want a cookbook? Vegan or not hardly matters, good food is good food, and I think anyone would be interested.kate mckinnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15717335644899326566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364444313031366135.post-16502180184804095872011-03-28T11:09:16.818-07:002011-03-28T11:09:16.818-07:00What better thing for an artist to do than to segu...What better thing for an artist to do than to segue into the kitchen.

I am getting re-educated at 50+ so I can get the food and provide the shelter, etc. All the while dreaming of when will I have time for the artist in me to re-emerge. Kudos on cooking, I personally try to avoid cooking, but hey that's just me. Follow your heart, I know about having a fork in the road too ! Good luck ! April N. in COAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
