I've been a torchin'

The Ancient World Series

As they sometimes do, my names/titles of my creations usually come after I make something, or sometimes during the process. So I started to make a variety of different copper bracelets with sterling silver. Some are bangles, some cuffs. Both brought to mind ancient times, medieval, goddesses, stuff legends are made from.


What fun to make! I got to do some torching, lots of hammering, used some power tools, and lots and lots of polishing. They are really cool!
I made a couple of larger cuffs for men or unisex.


I made a few bangles just to have a variety available, and to take to the show on Saturday. This one's my favorite.

Well, I still have so much to do to get ready for the show this Saturday, so I must be going now. I start my new job tomorrow!

Post July 4th workout and update

I took off a week from running since my legs were hurting everyday, all day. So it was a bit challenging to start back up this week. I'm so greatful for the cooler mornings that we've been having. Today: 1.77 miles Weight: let's not talk about it; I'm on a see-saw right now. Eating fairly well. Staying away from sweets. Bought a new swimsuit yesterday, so can start swimming when it is too hot to run or walk. Not your traditional swimwear; I wanted something to exercise and do laps in. It's more for cross-training. More to come..... To read my previous post. go here .

January 2015 Nature Box subscription picks

I tried some new snacks in this months box, so get ready for some chocolate! ~dutch cocoa sun-crunch These are cocoa flavored sunflower and sesame seed clusters. Medium strength taste wise on the chocolate, but I love the saltiness of the sun-crunch itself. 6 grams of protein per serving; that's pretty good too! ~dark cocoa almonds~ If you like dark chocolate, you'll love these! 4 grams of protein on these per serving. ~dark chocolate berry trail mix Out of the other trail mixes that I've tried from Naturebox , this one is my favorite. It's a good mix of dried fruits and nuts, including cranberries and cherries, cashews and pistachios, plus tiny chips of dark chocolate that gives it that flavor punch. 4 grams of protein ~flax fortune coins~ Taste just like flattened fortune cookies with the added benefit of flax seeds. Flax seeds are full of omega-3's, and are said to be good for helping reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes...
