Shop

I'm participating in the I ♥ Handmade virtual market this month. Stop by to see me or the other great vendors.

We're back

and we had a blast.

I'm on my way

to this balcony with my sister and mom. See you in a week!

Esty Metal Project Runway Challenge

I've been participating in this challege the past couple of weeks. If you watch Project Runway, then you'll know that last weeks challege was to create a surfer inspired look. Below is what I came up with. Click HERE to see my and ten other's designs from the Etsy Metal team. They are all amazing!

P.S. My Surf necklace is available in the shop.

What does my handwriting say about me?

My right slant says that I am open to the world around me and like to socialize with other people.
The size of my letters say that I am well adjusted and adaptable.
My closed "l's" are telling me that I might be feeling tense and am restricting myself in some way, but my open "e's" say that I'm open minded and enjoy trying new things.
The pointy "s's" are an indication that I am intellectually probing and like to study new things.
You can find out what your handwriting says about you, here.

Breathe

I put an amethyst into a setting, but realized that I needed to take it out and tweak the silver a bit, but the stone is stuck. And my nose is dripping and I can't stop sneezing. So, I went out here. It's really one of my favorite places.

Star

I've been having trouble coming up with posts lately. Maybe because I can't get rid of this cold. But this little star with a sapphire is making me happy. And glad to be doing what I do.

Happy Labor Day!

This is worth making.

I made it last night and got rave reviews. Yum.

The Mysterious Benedict Society

My oldest son reads a lot; at least one, many times two, novels a week. He recently finished The Mysterious Benedict Society, so I've picked it up. I'm glad I did. It's a very good read.
