Undersea Starfish Necklace

Perfect for the coast....

New Rose

Emery's, the nursery near us, is having a 30% off sale and I couldn't resist this rose:

Meanwhile,

miss Chelsea is a bit puzzled why anyone would want to add some competition into the mix, and is trying to do her best to be cute!

Meet "TUG"!

We've decided to name the new pup "Tug" (thanks, Heidi!) it suits him perfectly since he almost pulls you over while you're attempting to walk him , plus we wanted something nautical;)....his main vice is very sharp teeth which he wields well while performing appendage-ectomys on all of Chelsea's toys...

Peacock Pearls

and an oxidized cross, along with a Swarovksi Baroque Crystal comprise my new favorite necklace....

Chelsea...

thinks we're crazy, and notes that he doesn't like to chase things as much as she does....

New dog...

We "adopted" a beautiful male chocolate lab yesterday from friends upon who's doorstep he showed up a couple of weeks ago. After searching for his owner, and determining he didn't have a microchip they decided to find a good home for him. He's mellow, and big, and Chelsea thinks he's okay too as long as there isn't any food involved...any suggestions on names?

Sunshine in an Earring....

These Swarovski crystals have a special finish on them that makes them glow--what a nice addition to one's earlobes!

Silk Ribbon Bracelet

I got these luscious hand dyed silk ribbons, and made this bracelet with them....

Wave, a Natural Apatite Silver Ring

I'm very pleased with the way this turned out--it's so organic!!

Knotty, knotty, knotty.....

I've started making knotted necklaces again--hah, did I fool you? Sorry these are only pretty, not sexy....

Today's Creations!

It's really, really nice weather outside and all I want to do is create more jewelry....so sad....but here they are!!

Radiant Ribbons...and Bird's Nests...

I got an assortment of hand dyed ribbons in and have enjoyed dangling bird's nests from them--here's a particulary colorful one!
