Selling Stones

In the process of trying to get my mojo and inspiration back I began going through my stash of stones.  Some of these I have had for quite a while and just have not been able to come up with ideas.  Some I, honestly, just am tired of looking at, pulling them out trying to come up with designs, only to put them back into their case.

Don't get me wrong, they are reeeely nice stones.  Some I paid a lot of money for and they are all gorgeous, it just doesn't do me any good to be going over the same things.  The definition of insanity, right? 

So, in preparation for a fresh start they are going.  If you are a rock hound you can find some really nice stones to add to your collection if you want to.

They are here:

off the grid

 
I have seriously been lacking inspiration lately.  Seriously lacking motivation and all the other things that get work done. 

I read recently an article about getting your inspiration back.  It suggested that you take a break from your regular work and try something new, something different, something out of the box. 

This week I found out my nephew is having a baby..well, his wife is, but anyway.  I have decided to sew them a few things.  Something to get my imagination going and out of the rut it seems to be stuck in. 

I've added to my fabric stash substantially this week.  Here are a few pictures.  I'll, hopefully, get some things done and share them with you. 

Aren't they pretty?  A few for burp pads, a few for a little blanket.

Even the threads are pretty! 

I've also ordered these...and can't wait to get them. 

Oh boy...I'm going to have some fun times ahead...I'm excited about this.  My imagination is working which is a start.  Maybe when the pink sapphires I ordered arrive I'll be ready to put them to good use!

Just popping in to say...

hello.

This is my little touch of spring in my kitchen.  It's drab and dreary here but we are blessed in the south that the roses love these milder temperatures. 

Don't you love my little mug?  I got it at Target today for $2.50 in the dollar section (yes, it was not a dollar but still there). 

After the holidays I need some spring in my house. 

Busy Time

It's been a while.  After the show I had a lot of make up work to do getting ready for Christmas.  I hadn't started shopping at all, I mean AT ALL! ...and I am on my own for everyone except myself. 

I had to stop today and share this treasure I found in my yard.  I was looking out at my poor neglected yard and saw this gorgeous, huge blossom.  This thing is about five inches across and smells amazing. 

I know it's not Christmas-y, but it's worth sharing. 

More Leftovers

I've listed more leftovers today.  Here are some pics...though I won't burden you with all of them because there were a lot!  ...and still more to come!  enjoy!

oh, but first!  I forgot to share this with you.  I got a stamp for my "mark".  yay!  here it is.

and now for the leftovers:
