Fibulae's

2007-02-23T18:29:00.000-05:00

My friend Alecart from Flickr has these really cool looking polymer clay beads that she makes. I was inspired to purchase a few to see what I could come up with. So, I guess I had some fun eh?
I have been commssioned to make a thank you gift for the director of this years play. We all had a brooch in mind but decided to go with a fiblua because of it's versatility. This way it can be worn on the lapel of a jacket, a sweater, on a scarf or a hat.

Other than picking up the coop order on sunday afternoon, we'll have the whole weekend to ourselves. AND, everyone is healthy!!! Lets keep it that way.

One of the many reasons why I leave my garden debris. The contrasts and textures make for some interest in the mist of dullness.
The past two weeks has been the spring board for what is to come in the next two weeks of madness. Preparing for this year play has been exciting and exhausting. All good of course!!! Just a lot more hectic than I would want for myself to be. But that's the life of helping with a play and trying to keep eveything else in order that follows. I have lived the words 'Parent Partiscipation' and 'Volunteer' for the last two weeks now. It has its benefits, but I am weary.

Catholic school week was just the beginning. Everday another function and a need for help. Play practices everyday after school then off to one appointment or another for the girls. Ski trip yestserday then play practice, a volunteer parent meeting for the play then the home and school association meeting. I got home at 9:30 last night. Most of my days have been 12 hours of go go go.
I look forward to any down time I can get. This morning is the first in days. a few photos and a little jewelry making and I should be good to go, or at least in time to take my girl to the doctor. Girl number two this week. Nothing major. Just little things that could grow into big stuff if I don't keep up on it. I like to be preventative.
If the conditions are good this weekend ( I doubt it) we were hoping to go cross country skiing. something we've been wanting to learn how to do. We might end up with innertubing instead. Sounds good!

I couldn't pass these beauties up

Hearts Day

2007-02-16T19:04:00.000-05:00

The girls couldn't wait for dad to get up so we could 'do' valentines day. cards and candy all around. The girls had a bonus this year though....NO SCHOOL!! another snow day for us. We didn't even think twice when sleeping in.

One girl at home not feeling up to par today. Another on her way to a black light Valentines Day Dance.
The cold is really getting to me. I am looking at photos of sun shine and green fields. I need warmth.

A Valentine's Gift for him.

2007-02-13T09:12:00.000-05:00

My Only Valentine's order. Grateful to have one. This is a 16 gauge Sterling Silver Patina for my friend Edie's husband, Jeremy. She wanted me to use Titanium for the fine brushed pewter look of aged metal. I love this look also. But working with the wire was tediously strong and unruly. The metal was so light in weight that it felt like dental floss on your wrist. I didn't have any experience with tiatnium before and have learned for the next time, to order the jump-rings already made to save myself the agony of not being able to give my customer what they wanted. I order most of my large heavy base metals out of canada, so it took weeks to get here and The Lord Ring are the only ones who have the pre-made titanium jump-rings. Of course by the time I figured all of this out, it was too late to re-oder in time. So I went ahead with the sterling silver and dipped it in Line of sulfur to age it. Edie was very happy with the results and I was very relieved.

My next project/order is a brooch for the direcor of this years play of "The High school Musical." I have a few ideas and will get started on it this weekend.

Getting used to all the snow and cold we've been having. yesterday felt like a heat wave! A whole 31 degrees!! Tons of kids outside yesterday in just hoodies. Today is a different story. I wonder what kind of lake effect we'll get after this system blows through? I hope not much. Tom and I have a dinner date this weekend with Tim and Kim and we would like to make it. Two dates in the same month??!! The stars are in our favor......

I am so excited about the Terabithia movie coming out this weekend!!! I have been looking forward to this movie for weeks now. I hope I didin't work myself up into a foam over nothing. Sometimes the movie previews are all that is excitng about the movie. I hope this is not one of them.

The Cat Days of February

2007-02-06T09:46:00.000-05:00

The first 'No School Days" for my girls this week. They are thrilled. Of course they want everyone to come over so they can have a party. I personally don't want to leave the warmth of my bed until this cold snap is gone.
The pets really have the short end of the stick. They are miserable! In and out. In and out. They can't stay out longer then five minutes before they need to come in. The cat stays int he basement at night meowing all night. Lucky for us, Tom has a white noise maker so we can sleep.

Being stuck inside the house this weekend, we decided it was time to make the photo light box we have been talking about for weeks now.
I found this photo website called Strobist. We made his photo light box and it works beautifully. I plan on learnng much more from The Strobist. Check out his site if you have a minute. The link is in my sidebar.
Unfortunately I have to venture out to the grocery store. Today is my shopping day and I'm out of coffee!

Toboggan

2007-01-29T08:44:00.000-05:00

The morning was a luminous periwinkle.
The snow we've all been waiting for had finally arrived this weekend.
Wishing there was more to call a snow day would have been better.
But we'll take what winter we can get.
The word for yesterday's Family Day was Tobaggan!
It was nice to get it out again after so many years in storage .
It was quite the attraction to those, who at our age , remember the Tobbaganing days of their childhood.
Cold and windy, we made several trips up and down this nice sized hill.
Next Sunday we'll take the girls cross country sking for the first time.
We would love to be able to make it to one of the night time sking events at the the local park this winter.
I hear it's beautiful.
Today we are going to a funeral. A close friend's Father passed away a few days ago.
Many of us have lost one or both of our parents over the years.
Just as we struggle to think about our own humaness, we also prepare ourselves for the losses to come.

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."--Abraham Lincoln

Finally had some time to work.

2007-01-22T08:47:00.000-05:00

This was the hardest necklace I ever made. I purely did it from a photo idea which made it very time consuming trying to figure out the best strategy to take to get it balanced. It's not a look for me, but one that seems to be appreciated by many.
Nice for spring.

I love to make chain. This necklace once again prompted by a photo, can be a nice everyday staple or glitzed up with some lovely glass beads. I must play with this one.

I've become a copy cat. I recieved this idea from another, but I was looking for ideas for my one lonely tangerine briolette.

I bought myself flowers

2007-01-18T08:29:00.000-05:00

I bought myself flowers yesterday at Aldis. The price was right so I indulged. The pink depression paden city fan vase is a perfect fit .

It's been a very busy week of volunteering and everyday errands. Today I get to stay home all day and Tom gets to pick up the girls after school. I've had a necklace idea laying around in pieces for over a week now and I have high hopes to it together today.

Bracelet Order

2007-01-10T08:54:00.000-05:00

An order for bracelets for this years 8th grade volleyball team was made two weeks ago. These were the choices I came up with for the choosing. The second from the top was chosen and 9 were made and given. What a wonderful opportuniy to get my name out there. Looking to pull off a duo openhouse with another local artist who specializes in ceramics. Looking at March for that.

The sky yesterday looked like the The Stone Bridge By Rembrandt. When opening the door that morning to let Macknaw out, It smelled of snow. Crisp and fresh. Ahhhhhh. Okay......... now you can go away and get mild again. Unless we get two feet of snow I'm not interested in snow this year.

The Yellow-shafted Flicker

2007-01-09T06:50:00.000-05:00

Photo credit from Wikipedia
A Flicker has been hanging around our suet feeder for the past four days. He is impressive in size compared to the size of the feeder.
We had a bit of snow last night. Just enough to make it damp and cold. I would have to say the mild weather was nice when we had it.
First day back to school for the girls . They woke up well as usual. Lucky me. I do expect an emotional breakdown by tonight from my youngest as she makes the transition in her sleeping habits. what can I say. My radar is up.
Spent most of my day on the computer suming up the differences in the two choices we have for our vacation this summer. What a sobering reality it can be.
WE look forward to a quiet weekend. Let's hope for some snow!

Happy New Year everyone! What a great party Sunday night. There was such a great variety of people. People I haven't seen in a years time easily. Some I would prefer to only see once year. I didn't feel like hiding too much from the crowd this time. I would have to say mentally, it has been one of the best holiday seasons for me.

The tree is down and the outside lights are next. The need to move forward nags at me. There are so many paths to choose from I am not sure which one to travel on first. Just keeping my slower pace in life has given me a chance to focus on what is truly important. It's not the money issues or keeping a new years resolutions (which is not to make a resolution at all) It's about keeping the amazing balance of famly life. Okay, I have a few shove slam closets that need my attention, I'll get to that this week.

Christmas Cactus ( epiphytes )

2006-12-24T11:08:00.000-05:00

My daughther needed a plant for a terrarium project in science last year. The plant made it home and now we are enjoying it.
Our plans for today is two movies, "Eragon" and "Pursuit of Happyness." One movie for Dad and Amy and one for Kelsey and I.
Tonight we plan on visiting a few family friends, then heading home to unwrap the Christmas eve gift. ( Pajamas and slippers)
The girls are excited as usual, but for some strange reason Tom is also. I think he is starting to get the idea behind the importance of getting something that someone would like and for it to be a complete surprise. He has always poo-pooed that.
The stress of financial debt is starting to rear it's ugly head again. Especially when we ask Tom not to bring it up every ten minutes. We need a winng lottery ticket. Lame.

Merry Christmas everyone.

The Jewelry Bench is Done!

2006-12-16T13:17:00.000-05:00

The Bench is done! I am amazed how fast I was able to fill in all the space it allows. Maybe I should add on a wing? In fact I plan on it when I take a soldering glass.
Kelsey had her piano recital today. she was second to last on the list of 32 students. Fortunatley their songs were 10-25 seconds long , so it was painless. Kelsey did a beautiful job and we have Melissa thank for that and Kelsey's dedication. I bit my bottom lip really hard in order not to cry. Dam PMS + proud mother syndrom!

Caroling tonight. Looking forward to seeing everyone again and relaxing somewhat.

Amy and Dad are practicing a song Amy wrote for guitar. She calls it "Rainy Day." Oh No! I'm choking up again!!!!

Ornament Exchange

2006-12-15T09:19:00.000-05:00

I fell in love with some galss art this week. I was shopping for some ideas for making a christmas ornament. I had intentions of sliding this beauty into a glass ball but it lacked something I could not inhance. I guess this is what I had in mind all along. I have a white elephant christmas party to go to on monday and I hope to get this back through exchanges according to the rules of the game. wish me luck. I don't want to have to make another one, but I will if I lose it.

Christmas tree and caroling this weekend. I'm glad the date is Saturday for the caroling so our family can have all of Sunday to ourselves. We need this day.

Kelsey has her first piano recital this Saturday afternoon. I've invited several people close to us to come and see her perform the most beautiful Christmas song. "What Child Is This". It will take everthing I have in me not to cry when she plays. I am so proud of her and where she has gone with her lessons. I'll be biting my lip big time. I hope I don't forget the camera.

I wanted to make a necklace out of the glass art I purchased. I like this one. simple and fun.

I am having an openhouse on Wednesday the 20th from 4:30-8:00 p.m. I hope I get a few orders out of it. I decided at the last minute to have one, so I don't expect much. Just having one for the first time will be a learning experience.that I need. I had a chance to talk with Mary at the Trinity Bazaar and hope to combine efforts for a few openhouses this spring. Her ceramics are beautiful.

Christmas is at home this year. This has only happened a few times in all the years of being in the family. Now I have to think of what traditions I need to set when this happens. I invited Mom for dinner. I didn't want her to be alone on Christmas day. So a roast beast and mash potatoes are in order.

And the sign said long haired freaky people need not apply
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said you look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do
So I took off my hat I said imagine that, huh, me working for you
woah!

Sign Sign everywhere a sign
Blocking out the scenery breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign

And the sign said anybody caught trespassing would be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and yelled at the house, Hey! what gives you the right
To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in
If God was here, he'd tell you to your face, man you're some kinda sinner

Now, hey you Mister! can't you read, you got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't even watch, no you can't eat, you ain't suppose to be here
Sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside Uh!

And the sign said everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all,
I didn't have a penny to pay, so I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
I said thank you Lord for thinking about me, I'm alive and doing fine

The 400th Entry!!!!

2006-12-06T10:05:00.000-05:00

I find that amazing and wonderful.

Today is Saint Nicholas. Camouflage Santa hat and 401 bags of candy was put into shoes from pre-K through 8th grade.
what a fun job.

This is a photo of our new round solid oak split pedestal table. FREE.
Date post 1900. Maybe 1905-1917. Tom and I are elated. It measures 54 inches and suppose to have three leaves.
Now all we need are some chairs. I have two chairs that look great with the table, but the possiblity of finding two more just like them is slim. So I hope to find another matching pair that would look as good with what we have already. That should be fun.

Some jewelry orders for Christmas and hummingbrid feeder to be delivered to the store. Sterling silver patina work last night ((smelly))

I am having a few people over next Tuesday to make purchases or small orders for Christmas. Maybe the new work bench will be set up by this weekened so the display will look nice. Looking forward to some down time in order to work on some new pieces I've been meaning to try. Big plans on Jamin out some jewelry and feeders throughout the winter in prep for Art Beat and Open Houses before our month off in July. Things will go ninety miles an hour when we get back as it is without having to worry about increasing my inventory.

Tree killing this weekend. Where are we going to put that tree? I ask myself that question every year. My house is too small for a tree man!! It's will be cramp that is for sure.
well off to do errands.
Have a great St. Nick Day!

A Birthday Greeting from Cardiff

2006-11-22T16:02:00.000-05:00

Thanks Annie.

The 46th year.

2006-11-22T08:36:00.000-05:00

Flowers given for my 46th year.
The sky this morning was a growing palet of watercolors.
The flora crispy with frost.

Mornings like this, my mind immediately goes to those who don't have a warm home, coat or meal.
The need to help those who don't have, grows within me with every passing year.
I wait only until my children are grown and gone from home to do more than what we do now.
Because in my mind, the need will still be there, even then.
In the meantime, helping to supply the food bank will have to do for my soul.

This week is filled with Thanks. We have three dinners in three days! Tons of food, conversation, laughter and family we haven't seen since last season. I believe we will all be in a food coma by Sunday! It will be a Harry Potter weekend and a sneak preview of the fifth movie will be shown. Not sure which day. But I'm sure we won't miss it.

We still have a day or two worth of leaves to get up. I Hope to get these out of the way this weekend so I can plan some kind of Christmas decor. My Christams shopping is almost done. Anything else we 'need' will be online or at the drugstore down the street.

My idea Christmas scene is walking down heavily decorated city streets and store fronts while large snow flakes float down. Maybe I should buy a snowglobe?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! and "Pass the cranberries!"

We'll do it all
every thing
on our own
we don't need
anything
or anyone

if i lay here,
if i just lay here,
would you lie with me,
and just forget the world

i don't quite know
how to say
how i feel

those three words
are said too much
but not enough

if i lay here,
if i just lay here,
would you lie with me,
and just forget the world

forget what we're told
before we get too old
show me a garden
thats bursting into life

let's waste time chasing cars
around our heads
i need your grace
to remind me
to find my own

if i lay here,
if i just lay here,
would you lie with me,
and just forget the world

forget what we're told
before we get too old
show me a garden
thats bursting into life

all that i am
all that i ever was
its here in your perfect eyes
they're all i can see
i don't know where
confused about how as well
just know that these things
will never change for us at all

if i lay here,
if i just lay here,
would you lie with me,
and just forget the world

My time has been in the basement trying to keep it warm with loads of laundry. An assembly line of hummingbird feeders and a few jewelry orders fills my freetime. I had a showing last weekend at a church bizarre and another one will be December 3rd at a varsity club in town. I'll be in a row of vendors such as Tastefully Simple, Pampered Chef and Tupperware. Do you see a pattern here? I don't exactly fit in but it is exposure. I made reservations for a booth next year at Trinity's Christmas Bizarre. This year was already filled up. Too bad. With Trinity Christmas Bizarre, the Artbeat, Wild bird Unlimited and hopefully Artistic Touch, I should have a nice flow of sales and orders for Hummingbird feeders and maybe some jewelry by next year. Word of mouth is getting around at school and a want to 'see'/ 'shop' or 'make' is being requested. Not sure how to handle that. Somehow I need to get creative with this or just drop it. I can't deal with all the Chrsitmas Decorations going up already. The larger than life yard blow up decorations are so ugly!! I swear, people just don't have taste or dignity. Or maybe I just don't know how to have fun when it comes to the holidays anymore. I have no desire to hang up lights or drag out all the dusty Christmas crap I have stashed in the attic. My enthusiasum for Christmas lasted about one day when I bought a package of Christmas cards with the intent of actually assembling them and sending them out. They so suck! Why did I buy them?
I want to take them back and tell them to shove them! The ribbon that came with the kit is much shorter than the sample itself, making assembly impossible according to the 'sample'. So now I have to make my own alterations in order for it to work out. Man.... I need a fresh approach to this holiday. One that doesn't cause me to get into a funk. Having kids pushes me to perform where I would just prefer to let slide. With that said, Blue will be the color for this season. So blue lights it is! Okay..... now I have to go out and spend money on blue lights!! arrrgh.

Not one acorn has been seen this year. The squirrles are out of control with their panic to find a food source which includes all of my birdfeeders!!!!!!!!! To purchase a bag of cob corn will only invite critters that I don't want hanging out in my yard eye-balling my feeders when the corn runs out. What to do.........

We won't be having guests staying in our home this weekend for the Army game. The tickets that were promised to them were given to family memebers . The whole B&B has been a dissapointment except for all the work tha got done that needed to get done in the first place. But it is only the first year and we already have an 'in' with some of the local B&B's with their overflow. So lets hope Notre Dame wins this weekend so the crowd will grow for next years football season. Go Irish!!!!
( making a sour face because I can't believe I said that).

"If a man walk in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer: but if he spends his whole day as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen."

Hallloween was cold but at least dry. We went to Corrine's neighborhood with the homeschooling group. We were the gang in that neighborhood. Trading candy, hot soup and cider and plenty of neighbohood friend filled the house last night. It felt like the party was geting started when we had to leave to assume our nightly routine.

I thought the neighbors dogs got loose yesterday when actually it was a couple doe's crossing the front yard out by the street. They've been out front the past few days because of the hickory tree. There isn't an acorn to be found this year. Last year was a major bumper crop. This year nothing. The squirrels looked panicked.

An offer to consign my hummigbird feeders was made yesterday by Wild Birds Unlimited. They had already purchase their christmas items and could only offer consignment at this time. I'm okay with that. It's an opportunity for exposure.

In the meantime I will be working on my new website for jewelry and the HBF's. It's amazing how long it take to
whip one off with all the cha-chas that you need. In the mean time this site will have to do. I still have the photos to upload. Hope to get it done today.

Dinner last night: Lasagna Bolognese from Cook's Illustrated

Hello? It took forever! This reduced 6 hour recipe took 2.5 hours. But....It was amazing! I think my husband is getting me this magazine for my birthday. Is this anything like getting a sweeper?
