is Susan Elliot over at Plays With Needles! Just look at some of her work:
The “Giving Purse” she made for a charity auction
June’s bead journal page “My Symphony”
November (2008) bead journal page “Abundance”
August bead journal page “A Daughter’s Valentine”
As you can see, she employs many different media to create her artwork. Susan’s attention to detail and color placement is exquisite. The words she uses to describe how the piece came together and what it means to her are insightful and motivating. Susan takes you on a creative journey, from trying to make different types of leaves, to beading, to new techniques and everything in between.
If you have never visited her blog before, you should. You will get lost in her family, her art and her heartfelt genuineness. I know you will love her as much as I do!

Loralynn...it is quite an honor to be considered a hero of any sort...but I love the idea of a needlework one the most! Move over Wonder Woman! I am over-the-moon delighted to hear that you are inspired by my work. And it's really fun for me to see what pieces have touched you and why. And thank YOU for all the supportive and faithful comments you leave for me. They really are a gift.
I hope you have many many happy hours of discovery with your needle and thread. xoxo Susan

On another note, I wanted to say I'm so sorry about your husband losing his job. I know how it is. Mine was out of work for longer than I care to tell you in the newness of your situation. Take heart. Let us know how he's doing.
