Trying Not to Hibernate

This is the current view out of my studio window.
Yup, we are officially snowed in again here in ole' Richmond Va.
I'm trying not to hibernate, but honestly I am really thinking how nice it would be to just take a nice long nap and wake up when all this messy stuff has gone and it is once again warm enough to go outside without a coat and mittens.

Since hibernating is out, I have at least managed to get myself out of my pj's and into some proper clothes. I made a nice pot of homemade vegetable soup and a loaf of beer bread for lunch. Now, if I could just get motivated to get busy in the studio.

"Be Still My Beating Heart"

I have at least taken a few photos of my newest creations to list in my Etsy shop today.
This one features one of my new bronze pieces as well as my newest addiction - crochet necklaces! I started making a few while watching movies on these snowy weekends and have become hooked. (sorry, pardon the bad pun!)

"Cherry Blossom Bling-a-ling"

Ok, I am now feeling a bit more motivated after a nice cup of tea. I'm going to see what I can come up with in the studio today.

Hoping you are all having a warm and happy Saturday!

Forget Me Not - My New Flower Necklaces

Forever Forget Me Not in White

Once upon a time, a Knight and his bride were walking along a river. As the Knight gathered flowers for his sweetheart he fell into the treacherous river. Just before his armor pulled him completely under he tossed the flowers to his bride and pleaded "Forget Me Not"! To this day the little blue flowers have been known as the "forget-me-not".

The newest in my flower line, this sweet little forget-me-not was handcrafted from precious metal clay. Very versatile necklace - can be worn with a dress for a night on the town, business attire, great for a wedding or even the jewelry for a bridesmaid or flower girl, or go casual with a shirt and pair of slacks!

Introducing My New Fine Silver Dog Tags

"Lace Trio"
I have recently become obsessed with dog tag style necklaces. I am having fun playing around with contrasts - elegant vs. casual. Is it possible to have both in one design??? I think so, and hopefully I've done this in these new pieces. I like the idea of wearing these pendants with jeans and a tshirt OR that slinky black dress.

"Gloriously Green Gingko"

I'm also working on a little something for the guys, so check back soon!;-)

Happy Weekend All!
Hugs,
