Happy Weekend!

I'm dreaming of going here someday - Treebones Resort in Big Sur, CA. It's on the list of places I need to go.




I hope a fabulous weekend is had by all!

What I'm Workin' With

These colors are warm and cozy. Come back Sunday to see what I make.

out west

I was perusing desire to inspire and found these gorgeous rooms. If they were actually all part of the same house it would be my dream retreat out west.




Notice the size of the kitchen, I don't really cook so a kitchen does not factor into the dream!

These photos were taken by Michael McPeak, his site is Ananda Soup. Ananda is a Sanskrit word meaning bliss. It is also the name Michael and his wife gave the beautiful pond that they live beside in Michigan. You can tell how much Michael appreciates the beauty around him from his photographs.

These are some very cool close-ups of geodes. Isn't it amazing what it created by nature? I couldn't pick my favorite so I'm posting all of them.

Lucy Necklace

So, I didn't have the most productive weekend but I managed to get one necklace made using the Czech glass beads I was so excited about. Available now on Rose Lake. What do you think?

What I'm Workin' With

These little beauties are Czech glass, also known as Bohemian crystal in the Czech language.  The oldest archaeology excavations of decorative glass-making sites date to around 1250 and are located in the Lusatian Mountains of northern Bohemia.  Popular Czech Bohemian lead crystal dates back to the Renaissance when abundant natural crystal was discovered throughout the Czech Republic.  Bohemia turned out craftsmen who came to be known as experts with crystal, and the Bohemian crystal became famous for it excellent cut and engraving.  Today Czech glass is world famous and some of the most beautiful beads are created from it. 

I am working on a new design using these beads, check back on Monday to see photos of the finished product.

Ciao!
