A Little Action on the Home front....

Sent the previously shown pine needle coiled 'tray' (to it's new home) with fingers crossed it would meet expectations for matching a previous purchase.  Always relieved to hear that happy phrase, "love it."  A third coiled piece possible a bit later.  
In the meantime been progressing on another project that will be available on the website.  Shown below before it's final stage.

So far, so good

 

Wanted to show the gemstone up close and personal because of the colors.  Trying to coordinate the cord to pick up the turquoise, tans,etc.  There is even a tad of pink laced across the stone.  Wish I knew the names of gemstones, but alas, do not remember.  Note to self.

Self:  Write it down, and leave it with the gemstone slab until you get around to working them!

More links are added on a regular basis to the new page "easy access networking."  It is becoming a challenge to seek out new sites that I find appealing and interesting.  Shared for those that care to take the time to support the efforts of so many individuals devoted to handcrafting or some art form. 
Unfortunately, some, not listing an actual site are not noted as I am not sure how to include them.  Many, indeed are worthy.

Now, it is time to move along into February (already) and keep thinking warm, fuzzy thoughts about SPRING!  There are signs if we look closely.
"Daisy" and the "Amigos" have nearly completed their molt.  They are looking sooo glamorous sporting their new attire!  The real plus, of course, are those wonderful eggs.  They are getting production back up to three to five eggs per day.  Out of six hens, that's not too shabby!   
Not only do we have eggs, but we nearly have homegrown lettuce!  Grown in our closet, of course!  My "eager beaver" husband just cannot wait to plant his garden this year, so decided a grow light, closet and rack within, would give him (and us) a jump start! Seeds all ordered/arrived and potting soil prepared for that head start among the shirts, coats, dresses,etc. Where are those tomatoes??

Until next time....stay away from all those ferocious bugs, think sunshine and enjoy what you do.
