I just took a couple of pics with my new camera, wanting to start the week off with a nice fun blog post. And as luck would have it, the battery ran out. Time to set it on the charger. This new camera has a weird battery "pack" with its own plug in charger, and to have a back up battery would cost another , about $50.00. Not in the budget right now. I wanted to talk about turning 45, as my birthday just passed a few weeks ago. I have a couple of photos to post with that, so put that on the back burner. But, I must ask, do women go through a mid-life crisis ? I must explore this possibility some more. Currently, I'm on a wire wrapping extravaganza! There will be more braided and fish tail style bracelets coming soon. Also, I went back to explore the " herring bone " weave technique. I have not done this for a while, but felt the urge to wrap. If you scroll all the way down on the right side of my blog, you will see some hoop earrings in this style. They will be h...

Etsy Blogger's Team feature for this month is " Dizzy Dragonflies ". Vicki, a member of Etsy Blogger's for a long time now has a passion for spinning and dyeing hand crafted yarn, and various knitted items. What I really found interesting, is her blog, Knitting Dragonflies , where you can learn more about her, and her craft. There are some fun tutorials; one on dyeing yarn. Quite fun to read! Go have a look for yourself! Enjoy the rest of your day!

I wasn't even going to post today, so this will be short. After a busy weekend of working, driving, chores and today a lovely trip to the accountant to do our taxes, I've got nothing left to give. My head is full of negativity, my body is tired, I'm working on my second day of "doing laundry". So I have no new jewelry photos to post, not much to say or anything useful to share. The end of this week will be more exciting! So....keep coming back! BTW: There is a new poll in the side bar for you to take part in, please do!

Now I'm going to make you all wait until the end of this post before I announce the winner of my giveaway. But first let me thank all of you who participated and recommended books! Well, I finally got some time this weekend to play with my new camera. Boy it has alot of features and does alot! I still haven't mastered it, but have a feel for it at this point in time. I must say that I will probably never use all the features of this camera, but it does have many features that would serve well to anyone who travels alot, takes photos indoor, outdoor, at night, underwater even! Just to refresh, it's a Sony Cyber shot . So here's a couple of bracelets that I've finished, that I had mentioned learning the new technique a couple of weeks ago. One is for me, and the other one will be available........ And now the reason for the pause.......goes into my next topic of today's blog title post; Before posting here, I was checking out some other blogs that I follow and lan...

Last night I watched the movie "Julie and Julia", and although I am not a fan of Julia Child or French cooking, I must say that I really enjoyed this movie and all the feel good qualities it possesses. So interesting, the true life story of Julia Child , an American living in Paris, who takes her boredom, and desire to bring French cooking to the American house wife. She shows a true spirit of being who you can be, doing what you love, persistence, and entrepreneurship. Two things that she possessed which spoke to me, was her desire to never give up, and a deeply loving and supporting husband. I also could relate to Julie Powell , a struggling writer, searching to find herself, who discovers to joy of cooking, blogging, and again, doing what you love and never giving up. If you are an entrepreneur, a writer feeling stuck, a blogger, love to cook, love to eat, or just love life, than I highly recommend viewing this movie. Enjoy!
