Feeling Bubbly

Bubbles, bubbles, everywhere. Taking away every care. Pop and fizzle, swirl around. Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles abound.

Dreamy Purple

I decided to make something this weekend. I didn't really have a plan going in other than that some "thing" should be a necklace. The result is this long necklace with dreamy, soft purple faceted beads. It is approximately 36 inches long landing at about mid-torso for most. It is a little heavier than most of my necklaces to date, but I like the extra heft to it.

Happy Monday!



Rut

I am feeling like I am in a bit of a creative rut. I have more supplies and ideas than I could go through in a year's time- yet... I can't seem to make much these days. Yes, having a 13-month-old is a big contributing factor. However, I do find time to answer e-mails for the day job or watch TV after he goes to bed. Before he came, I would work while I watched TV. I don't seem to have any issue with motivating others or coming up with ideas for them. Am I more tired? Less motivated? Who knows.

I really am trying to pry my backside out of this well-formed rut and get the creative juices flowing again. I am not going to say what I'll do or make any big announcement to do more (mostly because I don't have much faith in my current rut-removal capabilites). For now, I'll just say I'm going to try to find my pry bar and do my best to keep this thing going.

Friends for all!

Last week I went to Costa Rica on business. Prior to the trip, I made some little "friends" for my team members there. I had a lot of fun making these little guys and my goal was to put a little of each person's personality into each. Each is also the person's favorite color and animal:

Acorn

Once he lived in a high, high tree.

Now he's come to earth just for me!
