Beautiful Day!

What a beautiful morning! (Isn't there a song in there?) Happy St. Patricks Day everyone!! Remember pinching is not necessary to enjoy the day!! lol
I found myself awake early today, so after collecting my am tea and all the pets, outside we went to sit and enjoy the gorgeous sunrise! And lovely it was, just being able to sit out side that early without a coat is wonderful! This is why I love Texas, yes it gets really, really hot during the summer months, but the mornings are absolutely wonderful!
We actually got rain last week (happy dance here) not enough of course, but the first we've seen in months, (and I do mean months) I don't think it was enough for them to lift the burn ban, but the authorities are thinking about it. Like we don't have enough problems with grass fires, let's let everyone out here in the county start burning their trash again!!! NOT! (Whoops, bad dragon, no ranting this morning!) ;>\
I actually cleaned yesterday, (yeah, yeah I know, what a shock!) the back enclosed porch where the cats hang out finally got to the "I can't stand it!" level, which leads to Mr. Clean (what a handy guy! ;>D) and clorox! Move the movables outside, hose them down, sweep, mop, wipe walls, cuss cats who are of course laying around looking at me like I've lost my mind, they're very good at that.
So that was my day yesterday, today I hope to get back to my jewelry, see y'all later!

Exhausted and Back!

Lordy, lordy, am I tired! Just got back from San Antonio Sunday and the running never stops! LOL Gosh, the errands that pile up when you go out of town for a week! Had to go take care of things for my Mom and help/support my stepMom last week. Glad to say that they are both getting better! Haven't really had a chance to do much with my jewelry, except to visit Szarka at Magpie Gemstones and coup some beautiful beads!! Gosh almighty that woman has gorgeous beads, check it out at magpiegemstones.com. I hope to get more pictures taken this week, so check back in a few days.

Thanks and Blessed Be!

Lordy This Is Hard!

Thanks,

Weekend Adventure

Well, the weekend was quite productive for me! I was out in the boonies, no tv, no radio, very few people! Nothing to do but haul out my tools, wire and tutorials and have equal parts of fun and frustration! lol As you can see, I completed 2 bracelets and five rings, oops, make that 6, one ring didn't make it into the group picture. I really like the brass wrapped round copper ring, it is very pretty.

Monday As Promised

Well, I didn't promise Monday exactly, but I did promise pics of the 12 g Copper wire I beat into submission over the weekend! And here it is! The squiggle is 12g with fresh water pearls and I think enameled star fish with solid copper beads on 16g hand made head pins. The coil part is 12g core wrapped with 16g and large solid copper spacers. It was fun to make, not near as agonizing as some of my stuff! lol


On other fronts, it's a chill and dreary day here in my part of Texas. I went into town this morning to run errands, and of course forgot it was Presidents Day! Stinkin' federal holidays! Apologies to anyone enjoying a well deserved day off!! I just have a package that I wanted to mail to a customer TODAY! Oh well, boo hoo for me! (snort)
So back to town tomorrow for another trip to the post office, cause of course I didn't just do the postage on line, I have got to start remembering to do that so I can just give it to my mail man.

I have more squiggles to decorate and incorporate into fun necklaces and bracelets, maybe even something bea u tiful!! (snicker)

Please enjoy the pics, comments welcome and desired!!

Sunday Pretties

It's Sunday! Thought I'd post a few pics of my jewelry, please feel free to comment, constructive thoughts always welcome!
The necklace is constructed of solid copper washers, beads and a handmade clasp. The gorgeous Turquoise is from Magpie Gemstones http://www.magpiegemstones.com the most wonderful supply of gemstones and turquoise on the web! That store can get a girl in serious trouble! I love it! In fact most of my beads are from Szarka's online store, great customer service and beautiful beads, what more could you ask for!? Okay, commercial over! (snort)
The earrings are lovely fresh water pearls and copper with sterling silver leverback ear wires.
It's a beautiful day here in West Texas, sun's shining, sky's blue, blue and cloudless. For some weird reason I saw the sunrise this morning, it was pretty but way too early! I've been working on a copper bracelet, just need to figure out what type clasp to put on it. Hopefully will have a picture to post of it tomorrow.
Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday!
