Now Showing

I've now listed all the completed cuffs in my shop (http://arosebyname.etsy.com) I love how they've turned out and truly hope they spark some interest (and buyers!). I am incredibly nervous about Kent's Art in the Park Show next year, but excited, too. 

I am currently working on a piece with an "ocean view" based on this photo from one of our trips to Florida. This one is from 1999!

Alaskan Skies

Back to Reality

I'll be posting more photos, but here's a couple...the first is one of the 10 zip-lines we did and the other is of the four travelers when we finished our excursion! It was SO fun! We wanted to go again!

A Weekend Away

Sometimes you just have to get out of town for a couple days! That's what we did this weekend and it sort of backfired! Now I want our vacation to start tomorrow!! The saddest part is that once our vacation does start, it'll fly by faster than the zipline we'll be riding in Juneau!

Ugh!

Just could not get the double RAW to work, so I took it completely apart again. I've decided to play with something else and go back to it because it was just really frustrating me. So, I'm playing with some lovely silver-lined frosted peridot beads for the time being. Then maybe I'll make a pretty bracelet for myself to take on vacation with me!

Only 17 days until we leave on our vacation! It couldn't come fast enough! We are going to the lake this weekend, so that will be a short, yet wonderful getaway. But this cruise is going to be so therapeutic! A physical and mental recharge, for sure!

Had a dream about my mom last night. Been feeling melancholy since I woke up. She was upset with me for some reason and that feeling has stayed with me. I know it's just a dream and it doesn't mean anything, but it's made me sad nonetheless.

Mini Vacation

I'll be away for a few days! I'm not sure if I'll have computer access there, so if I don't EC drop on your site or answer comments for the next few days, don't worry, I'll be back soon!

Quick Note

I am currently out of town for the weekend, though I do have limited access to the internet. I will try to at least check emails, etc. Otherwise, I'll "see" you in September! Have a great weekend!
