Something new!

Wow its been a long time since I have made and listed anything on Etsy. It used to be I would list and get tons of views right away..I listed this yesterday and NO views yet at all!

I am thinking just like the world has seemed to have changed suddenly..so has Etsy. So many new people on there its easy for your stuff to get lost :(

Oh well...maybe someone still checks my blog and will "view" this cool necklace!

~as always click on pic to see the listing

Green Garnets

HI Everyone!

Its been awhile since I posted..time flies when you have a child!

Here are a few of our latest pictures...our adventure to the apple orchard.

Carter is 4 1/2 now and in his second year of preschool...he goes 4 days a week and absolutly loves it! I am so grateful he does.

Next year is kindergarten..where did my baby go?!

He is so smart and loving and fun ... I love discovering what is in his mind everyday!

One of my favorite photos...my friend and her son at Panera Bread one Saturday morn..I posted it on Fb and loved the comments on how the boys looked like the mommys..I realized how true it was! love it!

~The only jewelry I am making these days are my wire wrapped rings which are for sale in my Etsy shop...check them out if you haven't already!

This is a busy time of year..seems there is always something to maintain in the yard or house and know we are approching the holidays again.
Next post will probably be a......  *hint*"Samauri Forever!"

Happy Fall!

Another String Bracelet

White Washed

Down on the Boardwalk

I really love the textures and colors of these string bracelets...casual and perfect for summer, they remind me of the summer at my grandma's farm when my cousin Melanie taught me how to macrame tie on bracelets...you wore them until they fell off! ;-)

Hello Summer!

 I forgot to take a "before" picture...so just imagine it "dark brown" ..this was a really fun project that I had been in my head for a long time and I finally got around to it.

I bought it for $30 about 12 years ago and used one of those leather kits on it . I was so sick of it but decided to give it a new life..and I'm so glad I did, it looks brand new!

My little boy is growing up!

He is 4 years old now..and finished his first year of pre-school...its an exciting time!

And I am starting to feel something that I have not felt in a long time...creativity.

Its slowly creeping back into my body..

For a long time I felt bogged down by the new task of taking care of another little human. Yes I know I only have one as people love to remind me...but I'm 45 not 25 and one is more than I ever had!

But now as he is getting more independent I think maybe more of "me" is coming back.

Well I made this bracelet today so thats a good sign!
