A night out

Rich and I actually went out last night. We haven't been out to a bar in I can't tell you how long. It was a country bar but they were supposed to have rock n roll. Apparently, the guitar player had a heart attack so no band. We had fun anyhow. Today I did some shopping and also made some new earrings. I put them on Etsy and I'm starting to add them to Artfire. Here's a pic of them. I had fun doing the seahorses in the sea fan. I made a mold of a real sea fan, then added the tiny seahorses.

I saw the Easter bunny

I saw the easter bunny today! I was walking the causeway, as I do on the mornings I'm off from work and I saw some dolphins swimming in the lagoon, then on my way back to my car, a bunny crossed my path! I've never seen a rabbit that close to the lagoon before. They often graze in my backyard because they are safe from the dogs there, but I've never seen them on my walks before. I missed having Tara on Easter this year, well, maybe next year. I'm really going to have to watch what I eat now, I gained about 5 lbs on my trip out to Texas. I hate getting older......

Back from Texas

I'm back from riding out to Texas with my daughter Tara and her labs so when I got home, I made some new jewelry to keep my mind off of her leaving Florida. Boooooohooooooo. I uploaded a couple pieces to Etsy and Artfire. I also uploaded my entry for the April Team Challenge for the Florida Etsty Street Team. The challenge is "fuzzy" so I made a donkey pendant, as my donkey Cocoa is very fuzzy. 

Tomorrow it's back to work.............

Road Trip

I'm outta touch for a few days. I'm riding out with my daughter and my granddogs to their new home in Texas. I put my Etsy and Artfire shops on vacation while I'm gone. I'll be back April Fools day, see you then!

I'm back

Wow! My computer crapped out on  Thursday and I finally got it back last evening. Seems it was a power supply problem. I use an iMac and rarely, and I mean rarely, have a problem with it. It spoils me so when I don't have it, I'm beside myself. I was able to use an old clamshell iBook but it's a bit crippled as I don't really keep it updated. Anyhow, I'm glad to be back in action. 

While Rich was in Live Oak with the dogs, Lyric and Legend both got sprayed by a skunk. Pppppeeeewww. We used a remedy that really didn't work all that well and they still smell rather bad, although it's not as strong. 

I worked on a couple of custom Golden Retriever pendants, a portion goes to Golden Retriever rescue. Here's a picture of them.

New stuff

I'm getting ready to add a couple of new things to Etsy. One is a pmc musical sheet with notes dangling and the other is a pair of silver earrings made of fine silver and sterling. Today we were under tornado warnings but thankfully nothing happened. Now it's really chilly outside. A good evening for making some jewelry. 

A jaunt to Winter Park

Today I went to Winter Park which is about an hour and 20 minutes away. They have a jewelry supply there, FDJ Tools. I coulda spent my whole paycheck there but I didn't dare. I bought a few things among them some practice copper. I made a bracelet from it and boy, I need some more practice. I do much better with the precious metal clay. But I'll keep practicing and make something bootiful, hopefully.

Rich went to Live Oak with most of the animals, I only have Spencer and Denver with me. They are my 11 year old Goldens, so sweet.  Here's a picture of Mr. Denver.
