I’m really going to have to come up with some better titles as this could get messy. My weigh in this week was on the surprising side. I honestly didn’t expect to lose much if any weight as I didn’t really get in the exercise that I’d wanted to, so it was a bit of … Continue reading
Last week was crazy busy around here. I had people here on a couple of different days getting the new windows installed, vet appointments, doctor’s appointments, parent teacher conferences, helping my brother and SIL move, touch up painting the new windows (which of course led to a bigger painting project) and then finished the week … Continue reading
It took much longer than I anticipated,yet it also turned out much better than I ever imagined. The PMC dragon pendant is finally finished! It should be on its way to its new home by tomorrow. This was something of a love hate project for me. I absolutely loved the design. I loved working with … Continue reading
I am still trying to finish up the dragon, but I’m running a test on a theory for setting the stone so I had some time this afternoon to work on uploading and listing the newest pendants I’ve finished over the last month or so.

The morning after the first day of spring brought a very interesting view. Just before the sun began to peak over the horizon, a rich fog rolled in just beyond our property and along the trees. I decided to grab my camera and see if I could capture the eerie beauty. It was really beautiful … Continue reading
I made it to the local gem and mineral show over the weekend and got to meet up with my favorite cab guy. He is the one that cut the stones for the scarab and always has some of the best pieces at the show. It was so much fun to look at all of … Continue reading
When I was doing the graphics design, I really struggled with having to bow down to someone else’s idea of what looked good. Some things were okay. Others, I didn’t feel all that great about even adding to a portfolio because I disliked it so much. Doing the silver work is totally different. I have … Continue reading
This is something I wrote and posted on one of my forums, but thought it needed to be reposted here as well. I have now read two separate things today by two separate people in separate walks of life, both spewing the same level of intolerance for religious tolerance. In both cases, the writers talk … Continue reading
