The End of Luxury

That is what I will call these days...the days of luxury.  Where I played with my pretty gems and did not put on make up (even to go to the store...e-gads!) or clean the house or try to make any semblance of the directions of things to come.

 I just was. 

What a beautiful feeling, just to be and not have to march to the beat of anyone's drum but your own (well, ok...for most of the time anyway, I have a family you know). 

This time alone is what I have so desperately needed.  I was insatiably craving the opportunity to not worry about anything  except whether or not I was going to create... or make dinner... go sledding... bake a decadent chocolate peanut butter ganache cake for my husband's birthday.  No matter what choice I made, it was the right one... purely driven by instinct and free will.

How often do we really allow ourselves to live the day without parameters? Or are we scheduled to the absolute mili-second so that when we do have a moment to breathe, it is simply enough air to sustain us before the next onslaught of madness and mayhem occurs.

We wonder why things are the way they are...

If you have any possiblity of taking some time for yourself...please, do so.  It is so good for your soul, your psychological well being, although probably not so much for the waist line and new years resloutions :)

Sorry that I haven't been around much, my friends.  Although I'm sure that you can see why I have been absent so much :)  Between making baubles, working, kids, hubby, bell choir (we're recording a new cd for Christmas...sooooo exciting) and taking pictures in my new picture tent, there hasn't been much time for extracurriculars!  So please excuse my absence & forgive my neglect.  I promise to make it back more regularly!  I swear! xoxoxo

The Earring Binge

As you can see, this is what I just had to make yesterday. I still haven't picked a favorite...and I'm not sure that I really have to :) It is a binge after all! So have 1, 2,5, 30...who cares. The only thing hung over would be your checkbook.

Oh, I have been remiss, I know. I'm supposed to be posting more often than not...yet, lately my world just seems to be consumed with others. Service to others, taking care of others, working for others...that it seems as if my time is the scarcest of commodities. So, here are some little ditties that have been created in the little time that I can carve out for moi. I hope that you like them

Until next time, my friends (which will be sooner than, later...I Promise!)

The Serene piece is the only one that just happened to form, and I thought it too pretty not to include.

I truly have to say that I have a problem. I'm admitting it! I don't understand it, but I could look and play with my gemstones all day long. Seriously! These pics are from my recent trip to a trade show for all us gemmy gals (and guys) that can't get enough of pretty little rocks. So, I'm sending out a little sneek peak at my fall/winter collection and...the inspiration for my catalog. There it is in writing...my catalog. Does that make me official?

I was reading my friend Gracie's blog tonight and something that she said really struck home. We are always looking for the answers, for someone to make the decision for us. To make things better, to choose our paths in life, to tell us what is right and what is wrong.

But, guess what?

We are the ultimate answer to everything that we are looking for.

We make the choices.

We put up the obstacles.

We are our own worst enemy.

We are the heroes.

We are everything that we want to be, and then some.

So stop listening to everyone else(including the voices in your head)...and be you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope that you love the trinkets as much as I do. Someone has to share my obsession with me, you know!
