Sawing Trees

This past weekend, my husband and son were sawing trees, and so was I. Here are a few of my new treees as well as a custom birthstone pendant I have been working on. They are turned out quite well and I am excited to get them up and running on my etsy shop.

I found the cutest shop on etsy. She makes etsy banners and shop logos. She even does full branding such as business cards, stationery, etc. If I ever decide to change my logo, again, I am going to have to give her a try. Check her out.

Birthstone Jewelry

Whew! I've been busy trying to get all my birthstone pendants ready and photographed. Lots of work, but excited to have it done, at least partly. There is always more to do.... Bring on the rainy days, those are perfect for a hot cup of coffee and finishing up some of those loose pieces I always have laying around.

Good Times

So this is what we have found ourselves doing the last few weekends. There is a place not too far away that is a skating center. They have the old roller skates, wood floor, and of course a disco ball. Brings back memories of when I was a kid and my Dad would take my sister and I skating. I had white skates with an orange pom-pom. I think I have more fun than the kids!

Trout

Let the fishing begin. Opening day of trout is next weekend. Today the spouse begins his fly fishing expedition in Deep Creek, Maryland and now his thoughts for the next few months will be focused on "what are the trout eating today, which stream should we fish, etc". Hopefully the creek isn't too high and he and his buddies can catch many fish. He is so excited, like a little kid before Christmas. We have been working on some more lanyards. Now we have one all gussied up with all the gear a fisherman would need. I will post a pic soon.

Labradorite is one of my favorite stones. I love all the sparks of blue, grey, black, and sometimes green. Tourmaline is my other favorite. I just got my gems yesterday, consisting of bi-color and pink tourmaline! Yippee!! I think I will have to keep one of the bi-color gems for myself. I just have to figure out if I want a ring or a necklace, maybe even a bracelet. Hmmm. It will take me forever to decide. Hope to work on some silver and gemstone earrings today. They will be so simple to make, I just have to do it. My kitchen floor is calling me first. It is in desperate need of a mopping. I have been saying I am going to mop for weeks, today is the day. I think.....

I think I can...I think I can...

These words went through my head when running the Pittsburgh Half Marathon last year, and the MS 150 bike ride. I am working on some jewelry for those who love their sport. I can personalize them with a quote or their event, date, time.. Once I get my bike jewelry ready, I will be posting it on etsy and contributing a portion of it towards Multiple Sclerosis. I will be riding again this year, in the MS 150, Keystone Ride.
