Year of Jewelry ~ Weeks 19 & 20 ~ and some other random things..................

For week 19, I once again did not follow the prompt,

which was "Your Favorite Flower".

My favorite flower is the "Swingtime" fuchsia 

This picture is from 2010

It is just so fluffy and happy looking☺

I still plan on trying my hand at making some polymer clay fuchsia

but for week 19, I was busy with a custom order.

A new customer of mine had a beach stone that she picked up while overseas

many years ago.  It has special meaning to her and she asked if I could

"do something" with it.

I was a little nervous about whether or not she would like it,

 but then again, I always am.

She picked it up today and lets just say

~she's a hugger~

WHEW!☺

For Week 20, I did follow the prompt, which was

"Made in 10 Minutes"

Which was lucky cuz that's about how much time I had.

I think I could have gotten one more pair done, but my area is so messed up

it took FOREVER to find the copper ear wires, and I ran out of time.

And, sadly, my work area is going to stay messy a little longer

because last weekend we started the final phase of the yard re-do.

Honey hauled 4 loads of gravel, which is about 20 yards,

and I have been shoveling ever since.

Except for Tuesday.

I took a little shovel break because I refuse to shovel gravel

In. The. Snow.......In. May.

I'm hoping to have the gravel done and the raised beds built by the 

end of this month, so I can plant.

But they are predicting more snow for this weekend,

so, at this point... who knows!

(Let me just say, right now, I could not be more tired of  SNOW!)

Anyhoo..... Let's talk MOO☺

I got these a few days ago.

They are just the cutest things EVER!

They are mini Moo cards

and I love them♥

The company is awesome to work with and I am totally in love with

Little Moo.

On my way to work on Wednesday morning, I was a tad cranky

because of the unseasonably late snow fall on Tuesday, but when I saw this

while driving by the 'scenic outlook' I had to turn around

and take a picture.

It was taken with my IPhone so it's not great,

but let me tell you, it was awesome in person♥

And I was still on time for work.....barely☺
