so lovely

i just couldn't resist taking a picture of these blossoms!

saw a little of the sun today

Thank goodness for a bit of sunshine today. I think it might have been enough to get me through until Spring Break. Can't wait to be in Florida. I had the chance to work on a few necklaces today and only wish I had more time for all the ideas floating about in my head. . .

i accomplished a little today

I've decided to stop pretending that my life will be quiet enough to accomplish much beyond the demands of work lately. I will have a little extra time this week to work on jewelry and I most certainly want to get some photographs of the lovely blossoms coming out around here. I couldn't be more pleased to see Spring.

pop-up pendants

i love them so!!!

snow day

Being at home due to the snowfall most certainly does have its benefits. I was able to get a lot done and enjoyed doing some reading, something I have dearly missed over the past few months. I so much would like to be in a book club again. Years ago, before I moved, I was in the best book club ever. Many of those in it were librarians and we always read the most fantastic books. Even those that ended up being not-so-stellar were still wonderful to read and discuss. I however, am also a fan of what I like to call "easy reading", I think most readers have something they enjoy reading on occasion that will most likely not inspire but simply entertain. For example, one of the things I long for but can't justify on many levels, is my love of magazine subscriptions. . . I love them so! I do keep the magazines from years ago and they are equally as entertaining years later. So, in addition to reading and some much needed organization and cleaning, here are a couple of samples of what I worked on today and because of all the snow, I imagine I will have a full day to work tomorrow as well!

if only

. . . it would warm up. It's currently snowing and I'm ready to mow the yard, plant some flowers and light the grill. For now working on some pendants will have to do. I could spend some time getting organized because I feel a bit scattered lately---but that's not much fun. After the various sicknesses that have passed our way, it feels like I just can't get centered. Being far too busy in all the wrong ways can make a person long for a vacation.
