Are you a lucky person?

How wonderful that you have a talent for dancing. I think that would be so joyful. I think that is good luck as well.

Thanks I enjoy dancing and exercise my body as well and earn money at the same time.

It makes my creative impulses flow to see stuff like she made. If she finds damaged lace table cloths, she makes dressy jackets. She sews pretty handkerchiefs on everything. I think she has a mindset that just makes things turn out well for her. I agree that I would rather have more luck than just more money.

Well, you had more good luck than bad. I thought you had a restraining order against that neighbor, or perhaps I am remembering wrong.

In business, it seems you are not lucky. I think I am not brave or daring or determined enough. I have some good creative ideas, though. Jackie Clark was inspirational to me.

Hold on to hope.

I'm lucky in love, that makes up for it! Colonal Sanders failed at business many times before he succeeded. So knowing that gives me hope.

I know someone will win, but will they use their win to make a good life? Often the huge winners run through the money quickly and find themselves in deeper trouble than ever before. I think old things are beautiful and intriguing. Jackie said she began buying used clothes for her own kids, others hired her, and so she ended up with a resale shop. While doing that, she held on to anything vintage that came her way. That later led to her antiquing. She got into pattern design while "filling in" at a quilt shop, originally she went in for four days and has been there ever since. She has a wonderful way of putting things together that to me seems to be truly genious.

best of luck to all who enter to win im sure like gerty says someone is bound to win and do something with this and start good life or end up worse pretty much 2 paths anyone has life choices to make when forkk pops up lol .. i ve never heardd this company before looks and sounds good and like lady is going to be able to afford to cloth children now aswell :) goodluckk LOW~

I guess there were three winners. THey will win about 213M between them. Not bad scrath huh? lol

My son is working on woven chain jewelry, as a little sideline. I think you are correct, we make our luck by working hard. I think when you first started I looked at your jewelry, but I do not have your link right now. Please go ahead and send it. You may even want to put it on your MyLot profile.

I saw your link, very pretty. I am not sure about the currency conversion or the shipping.

Thank you GG, i remember i mentioned it to you once, i just forgot that i did till you said...LOL...i will send my link over via PM because i am not allowed to post it as yet because i have not reached 500 yet, i also have my link in my profile

I am the one who labeled her lucky, I think. Yes, she is blessed, and prayerful. She gives a lot of credit for her interest and inspiration to her mother and the quilts her mother made for each child. I find it interesting that her sister is a talented crochet artist. I loved the fact that she reminded me of things I used to do that I should be doing still or again. I also looked at some old things in a new way that I have here.

Do good for the joy of doing good. I think that may be what is happening in this lady's life. She feels blessed by God in her life.I think you tend to attract what you put out.

I think she Jackie used the word blessed more than lucky. She is not focused on her money, but she likes to comment that she is blessed or lucky to buy whatever fabrics she wants to for her projects, but that often the best things and the best inspiration come from her stash of things that we might consider to be of little worth. I do think that friends help us on our roads, and often come into our life because we give to others.

I would agree with you there. I do not think winning lotteries is always that good for the winners, and it is certainly not good for the people who enter and spend money they should not spare. In many ways I feel lucky, or blessed, or fortunate, in spite of, or because of the hard times I have grown through.

I like that perspective, sustainable good fortune. She has gotten to travel and other things because of the business. It is so funny, when they wanted her to come design fabric, she did not know anything about it, they just said, "bring in the kinds of things you like" and the results have been beautiful.

It certainly does. What we do with what we have determines the contentment we have with our life. You have many lucky things with your life as your rise to the challenges.

You are missing some beautiful creations, but you know, I understand that sometimes certain sites are blocked to certain users. So sorry. Yes she is successful, and basically said she never set out to own a business or be a businesswoman, but she obviously had a gift to share with others.

She now owns two stores which has nothing to do with her patterns and desighs.Maybe that is just one of her hobbies.

I used the word lucky because everyone is so wrapped up in that jackpot and worrying about it. I think people create their own luck and Jackie is more what we would term as fortunate or blessed. The talent is there and it is obvious that she really enjoys the things she does.

Three "lucky" persons or groups did win the jackpot. There was a lot of media hype around this jackpot. I think that the hype caused more and more people to buy tickets. I am glad that it is over. Yes, Jackie is talented. She is also fortunate and or blessed. But she has also been blessed with good luck. I think there is something called luck out there. And some have good luck and some have bad luck. Most have a combination.

I think that would be the only way I would enjoy money. Lavishing it on others, as well as some basic needs I have. I do not think she was seeking out to sell patterns, she just displayed things, while working in a shop, and people flocked to her, and later fabric designers sought her out. You may have sixty rejects on your shelves, but I bet they would be much loved by someone even if not commercially viable.

They were deeply loved by someone...my Mom. When I started out making teddy bears I would make a "reject" and would have it sitting on the work table while I was deciding what to do with it. It would suddenly disappear! I would wonder where it went but I would end up getting busy with the design and forgot about the missing bear. It kept happening and I was wondering about it because they never showed up in my show boxes or anywhere else. The mystery was solved in 2000! I put the bears on hold while I was taking care of Mom. From January of 2000 I was consumed with one thing, taking care of a very sick Mother. In May of 2000 I had to have her airlifted to the hospital. I was her side daily from May to July 13th of 2000 when she quietly slipped away from my grasp. It broke my heart and I was beside myself. I finally got myself collected and realized that Mom would want me to continue on, so I pulled up my socks and started working through the estate. After 6 weeks of measuring and pricing fabric, 3 weeks of dealing with yarn I was ready to start working on clothing and Mom's bedroom. That was the toughest because as a child I was taught that you don't touch things that don't belong to you. So of course I wasn't comfortable going through Mom's stuff. I finally screwed up my self and tied in. I dealt with clothing, shoes, linens and more. I then opened a closet that I thought was full of more fabric. I was so surprised to find, neatly placed in the closet, were 60 rejected teddy bears. Each prototype was carefully swiped and hugged and stored in Mom's closet. I sat and cried like a baby when I pulled out bear after bear, lovingly swiped by this crazy woman that I adored and worshiped not only as my Mom but also as my best friend. Those bears are going nowhere. They are a permanent part of my personal collection that remind me of Mom and many other things each day that I look at them. I was grateful that she had the foresight to swipe each bear and stash it for later, plus she also had a love of ugly bears. Also by having all the bears in my collection it's less like Mom has left, that she is still here encouraging my art.

It would keep me focused and motivated, I am sure. I will have to see what is going on. I need to bring something to show you that I made for my daughter when she was little. You could make them for Zelda. Actually, I should make them and sell them. It is a summer dress and you make it reversible, with two sets of bloomers as well. I should have made some for the grand girls but never did. I am beginning to remember all the stuff I used to do, and want to do it again. Maybe that is luck, or maybe inspiration.

What I learn in the genealogy tents at the Scottish festival is that Clark is a pretty common name, as it was a title--the Clarks, were the Clerks or clerics--the writers and record keepers. You come by being a Clark rightly.

Many of us are more blessed than we realize.

She did not call her success luck, but a gift from God. A blessing. She said her interest in textiles and old things was nourished by her mother, and a quilt her mother made for her before she was ever born. She truly has talent and a good eye for beauty and for treasures in every day items. I identify with many of the things she does. If she finds something damaged or old she determine how to give it new life as something beautiful. I was "lucky" to be able to hear her speak.

Yes, this is a talented person, and yes, I think we make our own luck by using our talents. She has blessed a lot of people by using her talent, and she has prospered from it as well. I did not find her to be ambitious. She just says she cannot go a day without sewing.

There's nothing better than making people happy by doing what you love to do. This woman has done both, she is truly an inspiration.
