I Hope

 

 

I hope to be able to spend more silly filled times with my daughters,

and not to be too sad that they are both far away from home.

 

 

I hope to spend some relaxing times with the hubby and other family

at our beautiful home that he and my dad built.

 

 

I hope for good health - and perhaps an exotic holiday

 

 

 I hope to continue to make things that bring my heart peace and contentment

  

 

But for now - I am hoping for birds,

 as I am working on a new exciting project filled with them.

The Catch Up Continues....

 

 I continue to work on finishing projects that have been sitting around my studio for some time. 

 I made these rustic pins over two months ago, and started the necklace below at the same time.

Hand drawn little pencil doodles on painted paper, captured in layers of resin and wax, and supported on a reclaimed piece of metal that I cut and filed to size. 

  I then wrapped the cord with cotton thread as I sewed each link onto the cord.

 

A bit of a busy necklace. . . .

but at least it is finished!

And now for the weather.......

 

  It may not look too spring like because of the snow, but to me spring is very much about getting the long day light hours - this picture was taken at 10 PM last night.

 

The snow continued and it looked like this by morning, and by lunch time  we had a total of 12 inches of fresh snow (on top of the snow we still had).  It was a very beautiful day.... but the snow was very heavy to shovel!
