SURVIVING DUST STORMS AND MAKING JEWELRY

5-4-2014   Goodmorning.  I apologize it has been so long since last post but the internet connection and the wind in West Texas  do not go well together.   We  have been  trying to survive major dust bowl days  dust storms out here and continue to  try to make  jewlery when the  RV is getting  shaken about. We got thru it and will be heading back  to Fort Worth area next Saturday.
   
Life partner  has been  doing most of the shop  jewelry  while I have been busy making  gifts.  I finally got to sit  down yesterday  and make some for the shop.  It had been awhile since I had  made spirals in  wire  work and laughed how long it took me  to make some decent ones.

We  celebrated  daughter in law and grand baby birthday this past  week.  This time of year seems busy  for birthdays  as  sister in law and  good  friends  birthdays  are happening soon also.  Thoroughly  enjoyed  watching  our newly 2  year old granddaughter open  gifts.   Oh, to  recapture that sense of joy and wonderment.  The one  thing I truly miss this time of year are the forays into the garden centers and working on a garden.  I guess we will have to live thru others labors from now on.

Here's  wishing you calm days and lots of sunshine.  Here are some of the gifts I have been making an some of our new  listings on Etsy.
