two new single pendants and matching candy stick earrings i just finished up for an order…
the pink stone is a vintage button and the tan stone is a piece of coral that jade and robert brought back from their trip to the caribbean…i love the candy stick earrings with them :O)
happy thanksgiving…and yes or NO to pecan pie :O)
i wish you all a restful, warm, full-belly thanksgiving with family, friends and loved ones. i’m very happy and thankful that i just woke up from a nap, sleep has been a bit on the back burner lately. i am a bit giddy to have a couple days away from the studio. chris and i are hanging out at the ranch (chris’ folks place) with his folks and his brother, brian. pat and i each made a ton of food and after we finished eating it looked liked we didn’t even make a dent. good by me….leftovers are my favorite part. it’s always better the second time around. yay for tomorrow!!!
a big huge hug and thank you for your support over the years for being so supportive, inquisitive, and inspiring. i am truly grateful for your loyalty.
happy thanksgiving to you all…………
p.s.–pie #1 tasted like crap and i thru it away!!
p.s.s.–pie #2 was much better, but my pecan pie skills still have a lot to be desired. my pecan pie doesn’t hold a flame next to pat’s or gaga’s. more practice to come…..your probably thinking how hard can a pecan pie be??? well, one year i tried using a wheat crust. that one really sucked…you say crust, i say hockey puck!!! this year i made it vegan, but it wasn’t the non-egg factor that messed it up. my first recipe called for molasses and chocolate chips. i wouldn’t recommend that recipe again. that’s pretty much all i could taste in that pie. AND, the second pecan pie had a really delicious pecan pie caramel-like flavor, “flax eggs” and all, but the crust on the bottom had disentegrated. so, i would happily take some pecan pie tips, anyone, anyone, bueller!!!!

i have been fascinated by salt water aquariums since i was young and had a few fish of my own. i would go to the aquarium shop to buy food and become mesmerized by the wide array of colors, textures and variety of shapes moving about in their seductive underwater dance. i always dreamed of having one someday but was under the impression that it is much more work than a fresh water tank and also not suitable for a beginner. “oh contrare” says the man behind the fish tank counter. chris and i went in because i have been wanting to get a goldfish that has the “water balloon” looking eyes. well, they didn’t have those BUT they did have some really amazing salt water fish, sponges, starfish…..they even had a bright yellow seahorse. it was pure bliss watching those little creatures work their magic. the image above is from a website forum for people who have small salt water aquariums. how amazing would it be to have a small piece of ocean life in your house to see it change and grow everyday :O) click here to see some amazing varieties of salt water gems. image by civicsit.

yeah…i’m so excited to have this piece finished and photographed. it’s made with a beach pebble, glass beads, filament, repurposed fiberglass, and part a vintage plastic bead.
the first bloom of the season on our nasturtium plant. i love love love these….the organic shaped leaves, the vibrant orange flowers, the whimisical dancing stems, the whole dang package.
a new style of polyp earring that reminds me of a little basket. the basket shaped ear wire rests inside a small piece of tubing on one side of the “basket” to complete both the aethetic and the function of the earring.
i really love the way the clear glass gives the air of vintage……..
