Another Snow Day!

If you live in the Northeast, you know what I am talking about. We are in the midst of a snow storm. It snowed all day yesterday, but kept melting as soon as it hit the ground. Finally, last night it started to accumulate......but nothing like the inches I hear reported on the news! Still, its Winter and its white out. What more can you ask for!!

So today, we are in the house...to windy to play outside, at least right now. The puppies have been out playing, but now napping.

Off to make wire wrapped bracelets!!! Hopefully will post some when finished.

Have a great day!!!

Let it Snow!

In the last couple weeks we have been really lucky to have so much snow in NJ.  If it has to be winter, let it snow!  Well, this weekend we headed to Michigan to pick up our newest furry family member.  He is adorable!  Now, we are stuck in Michigan, well not really stuck but unable to leave yet, due to snow.  It is so beautiful.  Kids are sking, skating, sleding....and the 4 dog cousins are having a great time!!! So, today we enjoy the snow till it lets up and we head back to NJ.  Hopefully the snow will follow us!

Odin!!

Brother Dweezil

Happy Monday to all!

Let It Snow!

If I have to live in the northeast in the winter at least let their be snow.  I was hoping it would have happened last night, so we could have our traditional late night walk in the snow with the kids.....but it didn't!  But! we did wake up to this! Keeping my fingers crossed it will keep going!

And the newest creations are................................

More little people!!! Woo Hoo!  I just need to finish them up and will post on Etsy shortly!

Earrings!!!

Pendent (need to add a necklace to it!)

Another Pendent, just need to add a cord to it!

Its Hard to see but this is three kids connected in a ring

And of course my favorite Number, representing the 3 kids that give me my

inspiration!!!

Stay tuned....off to my studio again, this time to experiment with copper!!

So Sorry!

I have so neglected posting.  Some days I have lots to say, but don't want to bore you...other days, more than the other days, I have nothing to say.  I finished some new creations yesterday and hope to get pics posted later today.  Another line of my little people sculptures.  I am so excited at the results and the other ideas I want to try.....only thing is I am running out of silver.....oops.  More later...including pics!

Happy Saturday!  Stay Warm ALL!
