Happy New Year, and Almost Valentine's Day!!!



Strawberries~N~Cream Necklace

 Thought I'd better update a little! Have neglected my blog alot and I would like to be posting more this year. I have been busy re-organizing my craft room, taking stock of all my goodies to create with, and also updating some areas in our home. Changes are good sometimes, although I am a perfectionist....that can be a liability at times! "Perfect" can be a double edged sword.
Everything has to be perfect, or it can't "be".
Ever have that kind of thinking? If it's not just right, then I take things apart, re-do, or not do!
Need to let go of my need to do everything perfectly so I can get some things done!


Button & Bead Rings



Love this clasp! Of course I've had it forever, and it had to be used on the "Perfect" piece! Closes in front.

I'm still obsessed with Altered Art and Re-purposed old jewelry. The keys I am playing with make beautiful pendants for those with a desire for "DIFFERENT"! (That would be me!)

The holidays are here and I'm lovin' them!!!

I have been making some new things and enjoying days off for the Thanksgiving holiday. Cant believe the last time I posted was August! What a slacker

!

Lovin' working with these flowers!
Kinda late in the summer, but some of them will wear good anytime!

Can't believe fall is around the corner!

Woo Hoo! I love the fall, the crisp air (when it decides to be crisp out here in the hell heat of Arizona!)
I've already been crafting and altering. Also will be posting some new pictures of jewelry.
Halloween is coming! Are any of you making things for the holidays yet?

Summer Time and Busy!

 Hey it's been a busy spring and now summer! I haven't posted for quite awhile. Work, gardening, flower beds, new plants, vacation.... You know the drill!

Lots of smoke out here in Arizona. Seems like fire (Some would say Mother Nature) takes control when we leave everything to the environment. Out of control natural growth of trees, shrubs, grass.... add drought, and stupid people and you have FIRE!
Take away grazing rights from ranchers and add lightening or more stupid people  and we have raging fires, and destroyed homes and lives.
Spiritual beliefs and Earth Spirituality are one thing... common sense is another.   What can I say? I've always been a rebel, even amongst some of my Pagan, Wiccan, and Christian friends! I follow my own conscience, not the crowd.

On a lighter note, Lovin' the rivers around here! If ya get tired of fishing, then go swimming!

Untill next time,
Keep on crafting!
