Wow this is just flying by. Hate to see summer wrapping up.
Well I got the blogger up and running under this name also.
Been busy also on my etsy site. I actually got one of my necklaces featured on the front page on Friday, and received tons of traffic and even sold a few jewelry pieces.
Trying to get some painting done, but I keep getting interrupted. Don't you just hate that. I have all the colors figured out and tweaked the design so I am happy with it. The drawing is of a still life of a bouquet and other garden type themed items. Hopefully can get down to serous painting.

Well took a splish splash in our above blow up pool, was very refreshing. got it up a little late, but nice to finally be able to use it.
Well better be off to bed. Have a great week!

Well I just got my blogger site up and running, a little frustrating to say the least, but you can connect with me on twitter through their.
I did an interesting search on symbolism of peridot green and here is what I found: The color Green is the color of balance. It also means learning, growth, renewal, and harmony. Green is the color of nature. It brings peace and harmony into our lives. It is the color of healing, hope, optimism, freedom, and balance.
Interesting it is so related to natrue and nature calms us. I think if we had more time to focus on being out enjoying nature we would mellow out, so it makes sense.
Well I have also been busy creating some new jewelry pieces, getting ready for fall.

I have also drawn up a pattern of a still life of a picture I took of some of the flowers from the garden. The roses were beautiful, just full of blooms this year. We have had record highs, a little too hot when it gets over 100 degrees, but it has cooled down a little now.
Well hope everyone is enjoying a fine summer and creating lots of new stuff!

Wow, just got back from holidays, unfortunately they flew by too fast!
We are having record highs and it is hard to stay creative in such heat, as much as I hate complaining about the sun!
We had a terrific thunder storm last week it shook the windows. Poor older dog was just shaking. I have never seen one last so long and sheets of light in the sky. Kept me up half the night.
Well the baby robins flew the coop today, poor little guy kept having some crash landings. We came home to him sitting on the drive way, and was very hot. Hubby tried to scoot him away so the dogs wouldn't see him, but momma was getting tooo upset, so hopefully he got away into the tall corn. They are so susceptible the first day as they can't fly right away. this is her third batch and she keeps nesting in the barn in different spots on the beams. Caught a picture of them yesterday, but it was hard to get a good one because of being right under the roof.
Have a good week and remeber find your niche be creative!
