What an amazing day!

Yesterday I had the best day.  I spent the afternoon having one-on-one bead time with Robin Atkins!  She was in the Phoenix area on vacation with her husband, and I live just a hop-skip away from where they were staying.  If you've never met Robin, I have to tell you that she is one of the warmest, kindest people I have ever met.  It was a lot of fun because not only were we beading, but she also had some great stories to tell. 

She asked me to bring all my embroidery work, and I had to blush a lot because she was so complimentary of what I had to show her.  She is my bead idol, and to get such praise on my work from her was like winning an Oscar! 

I met her husband, Robert, too, and although I didn't spend a lot of time with him, you can tell right away that he is a lot of fun to be around.  They make a great couple! 

I felt so fortunate to be able to sit with her for a few hours.  I learned a couple great beading tips along the way, too.  She was working on some spirit dolls in the most fun fabrics of vegetable prints to go with a towel and pot holder set.  They were pretty great!  Robin is such a talented lady, but more importantly she is just an awesome person to be around.  You can't help but feel happy when with her. 

I had an amazing day!!!
