Cold Days stir creativity

Well the weather has turned very cold.  Thick frost coated everything in the outside world this morning.  And I think the high will only be about 45, ugh.
I worked in the yard yesterday and covered the front plants with a thick coat of bark mulch.  It keeps them protected as well as cleans up the yard for winter.  Looks good and got me warmed up.

Second order of cards mailed off this week to Olympia.  I need to get ahead and make more to have on hand.  I guess that is an important lesson to learn so you are not rushed at the last minute.

More work on my new ring design.  Adding some other sizes of beads and making it more interesting.  I am also trying a couple of different patterns with color not really digging it for right now but maybe later.

I also  have worked on some wire work earrings this weekend .  Always fun and inspiring.
I love putting different pieces together and seeing how they turn out.

Their forecasting snow but I'm not sure how that going to turn out.  I guess we'll see.
Well back to being creative..........

Tons of new ideas

I can't believe how time is flying by.  I guess the cold I had for almost two weeks has also sucked up time too. Ha, ha.
I have started a new ring design and love it. This ring is reversible.  I like wearing it on my middle finger where it is big and bold.  But if I reverse the ring  pushing it inside out I can wear it on my ring finger as it decreases one size and has a totally new look.
They must not be worn in water as the will stretch out.  Sadly I found this out myself and will need to redo another ring.  These rings are great if your fingers swell like mine as they give and have no hard edges.
I hope to get some pictures up soon.
I must start concentrating on the holidays as Thanksgiving is fast approaching.
The weather is cold and wet as usual for this time of year so it always a great excuse to stay inside except for food shopping and art supply shopping. Ha,ha.
Happy weekend everyone,
