Headed to Mexico

Well, I'm not but these pieces are........eventually. I completed this custom order which was not due until August, but the solder was flowing so nicely for me that I just couldn't stop with the fire!! AAhhh, good times, good times. These are all going to my friend's Tias, Abuela, y Madre in Mexico. Araceli hasn't seen her family in Mexico in a few years and she wanted to take them a love gift. These little babies still need their jewelry, but that will have to wait until my mail carrier brings the chain I ordered. It's fun to think of jewelry having jewelry. Kinda like getting Dakota (my dog) a dog, which I have actually considered. Dakota could walk her dog & teach her dog tricks.....hmmmm. Ok, I need to step away from the edge of this abyss or I will start rambling. No, I'm not rambling yet, but I'm never more than a couple of thoughts away. Is it any wonder that I have insomnia?

Back on topic (sorry)

I'm still working on my photography, I'll get it, I promise. It's pollen season in NC, so the stones still have a slight chartreuse patina, even thought I kept wiping them off. My truck has been several shades of chartreuse for the past month, not a very attractive color for a black truck. Does that make sense??

I'll have another order ready to go by this afternoon, I know!! I can't seem to stop, but my poor hands are telling me that they need some healing time.

Y'all take care , be safe & wash your hands.

Midnight Garden

This is my Midnight Garden. Not exactly a garden & not exactly Midnight, but it's the best I could do. Only during the Spring am I able to walk out on my screened back porch (also known as The Treehouse) and see my back yard glowing from the multitude of Dogwood blossoms. Soon the blossoms will be replaced by lovely leaves which will shade my back yard. The pic is blurry, but the wind was blowing such that it reminded me of being on the beach & watching the waves coming onto the shoreline.



These are the stones that my friend, Araceli picked out to for her wonderful family. She's told me a little of the personality of each one, so maybe I can incorporate a little of their personality into each piece. The stones are turquoise & crazy lace agate. I also started a sea glass pendant for my Grandma. She's such a great lady & has been so interested & supportive in my quest to take a piece of metal and make something pretty out of it. I'll post a pic when I get that completed.

Hope you all have a great Monday!!
