Here is my AUGUST Bead Journal Project entry – FINALLY! Whew! We had a crazy month, moving, organizing, I didn’t even have my studio reset up until after the end of the month. Plus, I lacked inspiration – then one night I realized that we are doing so many of the changes in our life right now for our kids, that this is what this doll is called “For the Children”: 
I have had this fabulous velvet fabric around for years and it was my inspiration – 
I tried a different “treatment” for her hair – and I sort of like this – whimsical and yet sort of old fashioned.
She’s special because throughout the chaos of the month, I “broke” a rule and ran her over deadline, but it was worth it – it was a chaotic summer and now it’s over and NOW I’m back on track for this month – I even know what I’m doing already. Look for September’s doll soon!
