A couple more of our spoon bracelets. This one is stamped "eternally yours" inside. I am sure that is the name of the pattern~ How romantic is that?And of course I saved the best for last but that is only my opinion. I will always have a "thing" for seaweed sparkle glass and its tiny bits of inner sparkle~ and the spoons on this one ahh... :)
Things only my camera can see!!! phhh See the bits of hemp fuzz on this bead? I have great vision and didn't notice them with my eyes until after I had taken the picture and loaded it for resizing etc...
The bead is lovely and I am really pleased with how it turned out. The other five pictures I took of it have no fuzz in them :)
Snow, no snow, then some more snow. We went for a walk this morning because it was snowing. I dropped everything, had my girl bundle up quickly and we walked in the falling snow. I try to make the most out of it because you never know how long it will last here. Usually it melts off fairly quickly in a day or two at most. I am not a fan of driving in it and usually just won't period. This morning I drove to the Post Office in a rush and left a package that has to be in the mail in the morning and that was it. Now looking out at the solid colored clouds I wonder if we will have more tonight. It sure looks like it. Another walk is in the making I think :)

New spoon bracelets are in stock now. I have been busy adding them to my shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=51507Tangerine~

A big set of the Mariposa beads. I am thinking about doing some in another color... My new Favorite Spoon Bracelet. Must be the bold look of the spoons on this one ;)
One more I will be adding these to the shop later~
All those plans I had for last Monday kinda went down the tubes with the VT shootings. How senseless and sad. Things like that always put me into a tailspin. I find I suddenly question the quality of the everything, the life I am living to the time I am spending with my family.
I have decided to live my life differently as a result. I went back and re-read this:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." The above speech by Nelson Mandela was orignally written by Marianne Williamson who is the author of other similar material."

Need I say More? :)

Hope I can live up~

Its funny how some things pluck at the strings of our memories. I was driving this morning and saw a yellow celica on the freeway ahead of me. I immediately thought of a friend I haven't seen or heard from in a very long time. That led me off on a whole series of things that "pluck" Dragonflies, clear blue tropical seas, emblems of sunshine, the smell of fried chicken and clam chowder, the smell of Roses when the air is heavy with the moisture, The shortest day of the year, high clouds in the early morning, Studebakers, goldfinches and guinea hens, yes guinea hens. I could go on but I think you get the idea. These are things that bring someone, something or a moment in time instantly to mind, no matter how long it has been.

Today I listed a spoon bracelet in my etsy shop that I fully intended to keep for myself. I have tried to pick something out a couple of times but I find I want too many things and choosing just one is difficult. Don't get me wrong I have some things I cannot part with, they are mine alone :)
