So I just discovered this "amazing" gadget via Twitter. I hesitate to ask what they'll think of next as I know it'll be even more ridiculous or repulsive than the current novelties. Have a look for yourself...
beautiful recyclables
If it's old, it's gold. I love the story that an old chandelier crystal, key, brooch, etc. can tell. I imagine that it saw a debutante ball or a cocktail party back when ladies were ladies and gentlemen were gentlemen. I get a magical rush when I find these bits and baubles tucked away in an old box or drawer, long forgotten, but begging to live again as something completely new. One of my latest favorites sold almost as soon as it was listed, but I plan to make more lariat necklaces in the same style, and even one for myself while I'm at it!
my wildlife adventure
No neighbors, no streetlights, no running water. Okay, so the last part is a joke, but I do live in the country, and anyone who makes the journey for the first time, or even a repeat visit, is sure to tell me that I'm "way out there." Living in the sticks does have its perks, though. I'm constantly surrounded by wildlife and have regular bird visitors that my city friends have never even seen before! After leaving for work yesterday, my husband called to tell me that there was a turtle in the road just up from our house. I put on my running shoes and did the hundred yard dash (1/8 mile dash, actually) to save my little friend! On the way there, I passed a snake skeleton (of which I'm not so fond) and was met by four goldfinches, two indigo buntings and a male hummingbird. My jog was nice, and the best part about it is I get to see that kind of beauty everyday! (Minus the snake skeleton).
etsy favorite: makepienotwar
The lovely Alana of makepienotwar.etsy.com has a beautiful shop with the overall theme being positivity. With stamped necklaces reading, "amour" and, "peace and love" to name a few, you can't help but love her optimistic designs! I received my first piece of makepienotwar jewelry yesterday, and it was love at first sight. Visit her shop, or just say hi, she's as sweet as her creations!
ouch!
So my left index finger was accidentally, and quite painfully pierced (yeah, I'm talking all the way through) when my drill bit broke. Since April 15, my finger has been healing up nicely and the hole through my fingernail has almost completely grown out. Yes, things were looking up for my finger...until today. Why I can't use less force is beyond me. Am I trying to prove that a 95 lb. woman is strong? Am I trying to prove that this jump ring CAN go through that hole? I don't know, but whatever the case, by stubbornness caused me to be without a big chunk of flesh. Too much force + pliers slipping out of my hand = missing meat. To liven this post up a little, I thought I'd look for some interesting bandages, and I do believe I've found the band aid holy grail! Luxury bandages come in Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci and Dior. These could dress up my injuries just fine!
