Just another week in Paradise....

Well folks, Mom left to go home on Tuesday.  This visit was way too short but she did promise that she'll stay longer next time she comes.  Before she left, we had a great dinner with the family at The Pub and celebrated Christmas at their home.  Daughter went in before us and we found that she had pulled out her felt Christmas tree and decorations.  Her and the Bean had on Christmas hats and sang as we entered.  GG (Mom) was recruited by the Bean to help decorate the tree.  It was a great night with lots of laughter.

TDH and I finally found an entertainment center we can be happy with in our family room.  It's ordered and will be available in about 3 weeks.  We also found a set of nesting tables for between the chairs in the living room.  They are plain and complement the end tables.  But much more importantly, they are absolutely perfect for cave building when the Bean comes over!

My jewelry efforts have been all over the place this week.  I found a picture of a wire wrapped glass pebble (the kind you put in the bottom of vases) that looked pretty interesting, it is called 'vessel of starlight' (left) by silverowlcreations.  Mine didn't quite turn out quite the way the picture did, (my wire gauge is a bit larger than the one they used) but I think are pretty.  

I tried something different with the Danish Knots and put blue and silver together.  I'm not sure how I like it, but combined with the solid blue on a choker, it looks nice.

Thinking of my friends who do yoga and meditation, I made this cute lotus.

Living by the water, it's very easy to let your mind go wandering. I found this mermaid by

I had to try.  This is the result.  I added treasures from the sea; a shell I collected in St Pete Beach and coral from St Kitts (a destination on our cruise in January).  I'm so pleased with her,she looks like she just came out of the sea with hair flowing and tail glistening.







 I've ordered and received business cards with my blog and email address on them.  Now, anytime folks notice my jewelry, I give them a card so they can see more of it.  Mom was the one who suggested it.  She said she wears hers a lot and always gets comments.

If you'd like a piece, please email me at mydayjobdesign@gmail.com and let me know.

The weather is changing, it is staying lighter longer, time to shake off the winter blues.  Be well.
